Johnston fought in the Texas War of Independence, the Mexican-American War, the Utah War, and the American Civil War. He was considered the finest general officer in the Confederate Army by Confederate President Jefferson Davis, who believed Johnston's death at the Battle of Shiloh was "the turning point of our fate." General John B. Magruder (May 1, 1807-February 19, 1871) served as a U.S. Army officer in the Mexican-American War, a Confederate general during the American Civil War, and a postbellum general in the Imperial Mexican Army.

Van Buren's inability as president to deal with the deep economic depression following the Panic of 1837 led to his defeat by the Whig Party candidate William Henry Harrison. Steven Arnold Douglas (April 23, 1813-June 3, 1861) was an American politician from Illinois and designer of the Kansas-Nebraska Act. He was a U.S. Representative, Senator, and the Democratic Party's nominee for president in the 1860 election (which was lost to Republican Abraham Lincoln).

During the American Civil War, Semmes was captain of the cruiser CSS Alabama, the most successful commerce raider in maritime history.
