In 1860 the
United States was less than 100 years old and the issue of
slavery had become an uncompromising issue. By 1861 South
Carolina had succeeded from the Union and there was a Civil War
between the northern and southern states. Fighting commenced on
April 12, 1861, when Confederate forces attacked a Federal
military installation at
Fort Sumter in South Carolina.
All seven sons
of Jake and Delilah Setzer served in the Civil War. |
|
|

|

Regiment on 27 Mar 1862. |
|

Harvey (age 25),
