He suffered an arm wound and was promoted to the rank of colonel July 2, 1863, by Confederate President Jefferson Davis.

The goal of the Knights of the White Camelia was victory for the Democratic party, by whatever means necessary, in the presidential election of November 1868.

The Knights of the White Camelia were no longer active after the 1868 election, but other paramilitary groups arose to carry on an insurgency with the goal of regaining political control.

The White League in Louisiana and the Red Shirts and White-Liners in Mississippi used similar intimidation tactics in the 1870s against Republicans.

His forces were among thousands of armed white militia in what was called the Battle of Liberty Place who opposed Metropolitan troops in New Orleans, then the seat of government.
