“Governor, if I had foreseen the use these people desired to make of their victory, there would have been no surrender at Appomattox, no sir, not by me.  Had I seen these results of subjugation, I would have preferred to die at Appomattox with my brave men, my sword in this right hand.”

Major General John Brown Gordon.  Nicknamed “The miniball magnet” because he was wounded so often.

Assigned by General Lee to hold vital ”Bloody Lane” at Antietam, Gordon’s wound count soared.  A miniball passed through his calf.  A second ball hit hm higher in the same leg.  A third went though his left arm, mangling it.  A fourth hit him in the shoulder.  He refused to quit and continued to lead his men.  Finally a fifth hit him in the face, his left cheek, exiting his jaw.  He fell from his horse, full face into his cap.  He would have drowned in his own blood if it had not drained out through another bullet hole
