SERVICE IN CIVIL WAR
George C. Dawkins was a member of the 2nd Louisiana Infantry "The Louisiana Zouaves", in the Confederate Army. His regiment was in Starke's Brigade which was in Stonewall Jackson's Division and Corps. The 2nd fought in most of the battles of Northern Virginia in the Civil War and in particular at Antietam. The Battle of Antietam (also known as the Battle of Sharpsburg, particularly in the South), fought on September 17, 1862, near Sharpsburg, Maryland, and Antietam Creek, as part of the Maryland Campaign, was the first major battle in the American Civil War to take place on Northern soil. It was the bloodiest single day battle in American history, with about 23,000 casualties. Edwin Starke the Brigadier General in Command of Starke's Brigade was killed at Antietam. The regiment had an original enlistment of 782 men and at the surrender at Appomattox Court House there were only 41 enlisted men. Louisiana Muster papers from the 2nd Infantry Regiment show that George C. Dawkins was surrendered by General Lee at Appomattox on April 9th,1865 and was paroled on April 10th, 1965 by General Grant. Delzorah Shute Dawkins, George's wife, was the recipient of a Louisiana Confederate Veterans pension as per the records and archives of Louisiana
