Civil War

Joseph Nicholson Barney was appointed into the Confederate Navy and was Commander of the CSS Jamestown during the Battle of Hampton Roads and so was also present during the famous Naval battle with the USS Monitor. Later he assumed command of the Confederate raider, CSS Florida in September 1863 but had to be detached due to ill health. From 1864 to 1865, he was a Confederate Naval Agent in Europe. He surrendered on his return and took the Oath of Allegiance to the U.S. Constitution [President Andrew Johnson granted amnesty to those who had fought for the Confederacy if they took this oath. Exceptions were anyone who had been high-ranking officers, or who had resigned from the US Army or US Navy to join the Confederacy or had been taught at West Point or Annapolis] on September 29, 1865.
