“Civil War” Cockades Presented by Heather Sheen

- By Jennifer Sawyer
The JB Kershaw Chapter UDC was delighted to have Heather Sheen of Greenville #51 UDC present “Civil War” Cockades at their March 19 meeting. Heather has probably become a national authority on the subject as she began researching the topic before the Sesquicentennial of the Firing on Ft. Sumter, April, 2011. In fact, she was contacted by the producers of the recent movie “Les Miserable” and asked if she could provide 3000 cockades for opening night of the movie! Little did they know that these are hand-made and could not be done in three short weeks.
Chapter ladies found the topic very interesting as well as the items she brought with her, some of which she had made, and others from different time periods in history. Heather apologized for calling it the “Civil War” as that is not the correct name for this period in history. But, in order to move along quickly and cover a lot of information, she used this shortened name.

“A Nation of Men of Lee’s Character Would be Unconquerable in Spirit and Soul” President Dwight D. Eisenhower
The Officers and Members of the 16th Regiment, South Carolina Volunteers, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Camp 36 in Greenville celebrated the birthdays of Generals Lee and Jackson at the Greenville Hilton, Saturday evening.
Robert E. Lee was born January 19, 1807, in Stratford Hall, Virginia.
Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson was born January 21, 1824, in Clarksburg, Virginia.
Despite the mendacity of those who continue to attempt to justify the atrocities committed against the Southern people by maligning Southern leaders, General Lee and “Stonewall” Jackson continue to be used by the top military schools throughout the world as the best examples of leadership and character in military history. Both were distinguished graduates of the U. S. Military Academy and officers in the United States Army. They were faced with a momentous decision when their sovereign state left the Union.
