Porter’s Court Martial Criticized and Porter’s Fate Questioned

A Boston Post survey argues Porter was unfairly branded a traitor by a court martial. It contrasts President Lincoln Burnside and Pope’s actions with Porter’s later command at South Mountain and Antietam, defending Porter’s loyalty and condemning the prosecuting advocate and private briefings.

Porter Court Martial: Defense of General Porter

The piece argues Porter faced a court martial over delaying a march to Bristow Station on August 27 amid conflicting orders. It asserts Porter acted with officers after judging the move impractical, cites Napoleonic principles of obedience, and claims evidence supports his justified delay and partial obedience against government assertions.

Also reports on Black Military bill debate, McClellan restoration, and captured chaplain J Lambstreet discussing rebel prospects and supply issues.
