This past Saturday, August 22, 2020, the McHenry County Civil War Round Table met outside at the Panera Bread Co. in Algonquin, Illinois, to discuss one of the more interesting characters to come out of the Civil War, Major General Benjamin Butler. Mr. "beast" Butler if you will.
As often, we kicked the session off with a quiz on the man.
1. What was his middle name?
2. He hailed from what state?
3. What was is political party?
4. What was his first military action.
5. What was his first military battle.
6. Then, he commanded an army at what North Carolina inlet?
7. While commanding at Fortress Monroe, he declines to send fugitive slaves back to their owners, declaring them to be what?
8. Then he commanded at what major Southern city? (Where he got his reputation and hatred.)
