  John C. Breckinridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Breckinridge entered the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War as a brigadier general and soon became a major general, originally commanding the 1st Kentucky Brigade (nicknamed the Orphan Brigade because its men felt orphaned by a state government that did not support the Confederacy).
Breckinridge would later serve with distinction at the Battle of Stones River and the Battle of Chickamauga, although his troops were routed by a Union attack at the Battle of Chattanooga.
Breckinridge saw that further resistance on the part of the Confederacy was useless and worked to lay the groundwork for an honorable surrender, even while President Jefferson Davis fiercely desired to continue the fight.
