The 5th Military District was a temporary administrative unit of the United States set up during the Reconstruction period following the American Civil War. It included Texas, from Brazos Santiago Harbor, (previously Port Matamoros), at the Mexican border, north to Louisiana. General Philip Sheridan served as its first military governor, until removed by U.S. President Andrew Johnson because of a charge of excessive harshness in Sheridan's treatment of former Confederate soldiers. He was replaced by Charles Griffin, then by Joseph J. Reynolds. Several incidents committed against negro federal soldiers at Ft. Brown in Brownsville, Texas noted, and elsewhere by Jayhawkers, wild Indians, desperados, etc. Most incident reports fail to identify the perpetrators. ==Units== Among the United States Army forces stationed in Texas were the following units: * U.S. 1st Artillery * 4th Cavalry Regiment * 6th Cavalry Regiment * 9th Cavalry Regiment * 15th Infantry Regiment * 17th Infantry Regiment * 20th Infantry Regiment * 25th Infantry Regiment * 41st Infantry Regiment 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fifth Military District」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
