  • The Battle of Ebenezer Church was a battle that was fought in Stanton, Alabama near Plantersville, Alabama between Union Army cavalry under Brigadier General and Brevet Major General of volunteers James H. Wilson and Confederate States Army cavalry under Major General Nathan Bedford Forrest on April 1, 1865 during Wilson's Raid into Alabama in the final full month of the American Civil War. Forrest had at least 1,500 and as many as 5,000 troops, but some were ill-trained Alabama State Troops. Wilson had at least 9,000 troopers of his original 13,480-man force available. Forrest had been unable to concentrate scattered Confederate forces to face Wilson's larger force, which was armed with 7-shot Spencer repeating carbines. After a brief but initially heavy engagement, the Alabama State Troops' line broke and Wilson's men drove the Confederates back toward the defenses of Selma, Alabama. Selma had an arsenal and industry that Wilson attacked and destroyed after his men again defeated the Confederate troopers at the Battle of Selma the following day. After the battle at Ebenezer Church, the Union troops burned the railroad depot at Plantersville and a cotton warehouse. Confederate casualties were not reported but Wilson's force captured 300 of Forrest's men and 3 artillery pieces. Wilson's command had 12 killed and 40 wounded. Forrest received a slight saber wound, which he later said would have been fatal if the Union officer, Captain James D. Taylor, had been able to strike him with the point rather than the blade. Forrest killed Taylor, the last of 33 men he killed during the war, with a pistol shot. (en)
  • La Batalla de la Iglesia Ebenezer fue una batalla que se libró en Stanton cerca de Plantersville, Alabama, Estados Unidos entre la caballería del Ejército de la Unión al mando del General de Brigada y el Mayor General de voluntarios de Brevet James H. Wilson y la caballería del Ejército de los Estados Confederados al mando del Mayor General Nathan Bedford Forrest el 1 de abril de 1865 durante la incursión de Wilson en Alabama en el último mes completo de la Guerra Civil estadounidense.​​ Forrest tenía al menos 1.500 y hasta 5.000 soldados, pero algunos eran Tropas del Estado de Alabama mal entrenadas. Wilson tenía al menos 9,000 soldados de su fuerza original de 13,480 hombres disponibles. Forrest no había podido concentrar las fuerzas confederadas dispersas para hacer frente a la fuerza más grande de Wilson, que estaba armada con fusiles de repetición Spencer de 7 disparos. Después de un breve pero inicialmente fuerte enfrentamiento, la línea de las tropas estatales de Alabama se rompió y los hombres de Wilson hicieron retroceder a los confederados hacia las defensas de Selma, Alabama. Selma tenía un arsenal y una industria que Wilson atacó y destruyó después de que sus hombres volvieran a derrotar a los soldados confederados en la Batalla de Selma al día siguiente. Después de la batalla en la Iglesia Ebenezer, las tropas de la Unión incendiaron el depósito de ferrocarril en Plantersville y un almacén de algodón.​​ No se informaron bajas confederadas, pero la fuerza de Wilson capturó a 300 de los hombres de Forrest y 3 piezas de artillería. El mando de Wilson tuvo 12 muertos y 40 heridos. Forrest recibió una leve herida de sable, que luego dijo que habría sido fatal si el oficial de la Unión, el Capitán James D. Taylor, hubiera podido golpearlo con la punta en lugar de la hoja. Forrest mató a Taylor, el último de los 33 hombres que mató durante la guerra, con un disparo de pistola.​​ (es)
