January 31 1865 Tuesday

Thirteenth Amendment of the Constitution passed in the US House of Representatives

Siege of Petersburg

Go to February 1 1865

USA. The US House of Representatives voted by 119 to 56 to approve the Thirteenth Amendment to the US Constitution, which abolished slavery in the United States. The amendment was then submitted to the States for ratification, a process which took until 18 December 1865 to be fully approved by the requisite number of States.

USA. US President Abraham Lincoln instructed Secretary of State William Henry Seward to travel to Fortress Monroe in Virginia. The purpose was to hold peace discussions with the recently appointed Confederate Commission.

CSA. Confederate President Jefferson Finis Davis appointed General Robert Edward Lee to the recently created position of General-in-Chief of the Confederate armies. General Braxton Bragg was relieved of his position as Military Advisor to the President, and the advisory post was discontinued. Bragg was released to focus on his operations in North Carolina.

Alabama. Operations by Union Major-General David Sloane Stanley and IV Corps in northern Alabama and eastern Tennessee began.

Arkansas. Reconnaissance to Monticello, Camden, and Pine Bluff ended.

Georgia. Confederate Major-General Carter Littlepage Stevenson and his troops arrived in Augusta, after travelling by rail from Tupelo, Mississippi. The city was in a ferment about the approach of Union Major-General Henry Warner Slocum’s army from Savannah.

Kansas. Skirmish with guerrillas two miles south of Oxford.

Louisiana. Expedition to Bayou Planton and Lake Verret ended.

Louisiana. Expedition from Fort Pike to Bayou Bonfouca began.

Louisiana. Expeditions from Morganza to New Roads and Thibodeaux. began. The sloop Rosetta reached New Roads, where it was fired upon by a band of Confederates. No casualties were taken and the troops aboard prevented the Confederates from capturing and burning the schooner Perseverance.

Louisiana. Incident at Bayou Vincent.

Maryland. The first elements of the Union XXIII Corps arrived from Tennessee at Washington, DC, Alexandria, Virginia, and Annapolis, Maryland. The initial plan to send them to reinforce the siege of Petersburg had been amended, and they were now to be transported by sea to serve in North Carolina.

Mississippi. Confederate Lieutenant-General Alexander Peter Stewart left Tupelo with part of his III Corps, the last segment of the Army of Tennessee to depart from its winter quarters, in order to join the defence of the Carolinas. This left most of Alabama with only a minimal force for its defence. Confederate General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard also headed for the Carolinas, with instructions to reorganise and prepare the scattered remnants that were gathering to defend that region.

North Carolina. The transfer of Union Major-General John McAllister Schofield’s XXIII Corps from the Department of the Ohio by sea to North Carolina was intended to establish a strong force for an advance inland while Major-General William Tecumseh Sherman’s army advanced north from South Carolina. Despite serving in North Carolina, Schofield’s command was often referred to unofficially as the Army of the Ohio, reflecting its western origins. The Department of North Carolina was re-established, to be commanded by Schofield on his arrival. The main field force of the Department, until the XXIII Corps arrived, would be the Provisional Corps of Major-General Alfred Howe Terry, which had captured Fort Fisher.

Tennessee. Operations by Union Major-General David Sloane Stanley and IV Corps in northern Alabama and eastern Tennessee began.

Texas. Confederate General Edmund Kirby Smith assessed the strength of his forces in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, and found there were fewer than 6,000 equipped men for the defence of the region, most of them widely scattered in detachments. At Sabine Pass he had 424 men; Brigadier-General William Steele’s command in the Eastern Sub-District had around 1,100 men; Brigadier-General Thomas Fenwick Drayton’s command in the Central Sub-District counted around 1,400 men; in the Northern District, Brigadier-General Henry Eustace McCullough had 1,468 men; Brigadier-General James Edwin Slaughter commanded the Western District with 1,446 men. The region was controlled overall by Major-General John George Walker as the District of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. There were further Sub-Districts at Houston with modest forces under Brigadier-General Xavier Blanchard Debray, and at the Rio Grande under Brigadier-General Hamilton Prioleau Bee.

Virginia. US President Abraham Lincoln instructed US Secretary of State William Seward to travel to Fortress Monroe and to hold peace discussions with the recently appointed Confederate Commissioners. After a two-day delay, the Confederate commissioners John A Campbell (Assistant Secretary of War), Robert Mercer Taliaferro Hunter (interim President of the Senate), and Vice-President Alexander Hamilton Stephens, passed through the Union lines outside Petersburg to lodge overnight on a steamer at City Point.

Virginia. Union Major-General Philip Henry Sheridan tabulated the strength of the Middle Military Division in preparation for the impending spring campaigns. Having brought forward as many rear-area troops as possible, the fighting power was concentrated in the Cavalry Corps, the Army of West Virginia, and the Army of the Shenandoah. General Headquarters and support units counted 85 men, the Department of Washington (Major-General Christopher Columbus Augur) had 25,422 men for the defence of the capital and its many logistical operations; the Department of Pennsylvania (Major-General George Cadwalader) had just 680 men; the Middle Department (Major-General Lewis Wallace) had 1,059 men; the Department of West Virginia (Major-General George Crook) had 13,561 men. The Army of the Shenandoah, commanded by Sheridan himself, included 1st Division of XIX Corps under Brigadier-General William Hemsley Emory with 5,635 men (the 2nd division of XIX Corps had been sent away earlier in the month to garrison Savannah, Georgia). The Cavalry Corps of the Army of the Shenandoah (Brigadier-General Wesley Merritt) counted 13,293 men.

Virginia. The Union Army of the James was reorganised to consist of Major-General John Gibbon’s XXIV Corps, Major-General Godfrey Weitzel’s XXV Corps, and Brigadier-General August Valentine Kautz’s Cavalry Division.
