Edwin Warren Moïse (May 21, 1832 – December 8, 1902) was a Jewish-American lawyer, Confederate officer, and Adjutant-General from South Carolina.

[2] Moïse attended the common schools in the county and the Academy of John S. Cripps and Sachtleben & Miles in Charleston.

[4] In 1854, when Charleston was hit with epidemics of yellow fever and smallpox, he worked as a volunteer nurse for the Howard Association until the diseases were under control.

Afterwards, he accepted an invitation from his uncle Raphael J. Moses to move to his plantation in Columbus, Georgia, and run the flour mill, keep the books, and finish reading law.

[6] In January 1861, before he officially joined the Confederate military, he was a volunteer in the capture of Fort Pulaski in the mouth of the Savannah River.

He served with his unit in the Army of Northern Virginia and saw action in a number of important battles, including Gettysburg and Petersburg.

He played an important role in the Battle of Bentonville, and was put in charge of burning a bridge in Smithfield, North Carolina, to cover the retreat of generals Wade Hampton and M. C.

He left the latter paper in 1869, when its proprietors wanted to publish some of the state's printings and he refused to water down his anti-government rhetoric.

[8] In the 1892 United States House of Representatives election, he unsuccessfully ran as a Democratic candidate in South Carolina's 7th congressional district, losing to Republican George W. Murray, an African American.

He was an opponent of Benjamin Tillman, and as a majority of the Board were Tillmanites, they supported the black Republican Murray over the conservative anti-Tillman Moïse.

He retired from his law practice in 1891, after which he served as judge of agricultural products in the 1893 Chicago World's Fair and as commissioner of the 1901 South Carolina Exposition.

During the funeral service, his hearse was escorted by cadets from The Citadel and the Sumter Light Infantry as well as members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.
