Item Details

Description

CDV Leonidas Polk

Leonidas Polk (April 10, 1806 – June 14, 1864)

Leonidas Polk was a bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana and founder of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Confederate States of America, which separated from the Episcopal Church of the United States of America.

He was a slaveholding planter in Maury County, Tennessee, and a second cousin of President James K. Polk. He resigned his ecclesiastical position to become a major general in the Confederate army when he was called "Sewanee's Fighting Bishop".

His official portrait at the University of the South depicts him dressed as a bishop with his army uniform hanging nearby.

He is often erroneously referred to as "Leonidas K. Polk", but he had no middle name and never signed any documents as such.
