Calhoun

Calhoun is the name of at least two towns in the Confederate States, both of which are named for United States Senator and Vice President and Confederate Founding Father John C. Calhoun. Calhoun, Kentucky, which was on the northern end of the James Bethel Gresham Memorial Bridge, fell to a platoon of US barrels under Michael Pound during General Irving Morrell's campaign through the state during the Second Great War in 1943. Later in that campaign, Calhoun, Georgia was the headquarters of a brigade of Confederate infantry commanded by Brigadier General Clarence Potter.
