The Battle of Ebenezer Church 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.
After the battle at Ebenezer Church, the Union troops burned the railroad depot at Plantersville and a cotton warehouse.
[1][2] Confederate casualties were not reported but Wilson's force captured 300 of Forrest's men and 3 artillery pieces.
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.
[3] All Union soldiers killed in this battle were removed to Marietta National Cemetery after the war.
