This article appears in Volume V25, Page 243 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SIV-SOU
SLOCUM, HENRY WARNER (1827-1894) , American general, was born at Delphi, Onondaga county, New
York
 , on the 24th of September 1827, and graduated at the United States Military
Academy
  in 1852. He resigned from the army in 1856 to practise law at Syracuse, N.Y., and in 1859 he was a member of the state Assembly. When the Civil War broke out he became colonel (May 1861) of the 27th New
York
  Volunteers, and was promoted brigadier-general of volunteers (August 1861) and major-general of volunteers (July 1862). He fought in all the Virginia campaigns from the first battle of
Bull
  Run, where he led a regiment, to Gettysburg, where he commanded the XII. corps. With that corps he was transferred in the autumn of 1863 under Hooker's command to the Tennessee Valley, and took part in the battle of Chattanooga. He remained with the Army of the Cumberland after his corps was merged into that of Hooker, took part in the Atlanta campaign, and after Hooker's retirement succeeded to the command of the XX. corps (
late
  XI. and XII.). He commanded the Atlanta garrison, and with Sherman took part in the " march to the sea," and subsequently in, the Carolinas campaign from
Savannah
  to Goldsboro, as
commander
  of the left wing. He resigned from the army in September 1865, resumed professional practice at Brooklyn, and was a Democratic representative in Congress in 18691873 and again in 18831885. In 18761884 he was president of the Brooklyn city board of public works. He died at Brooklyn on the 14th of April 1894. A monument of General Slocum by Frederick MacMonnies was unveiled at Brooklyn, N.Y., on the 3oth of May 1905.
