Company C, South Carolina Volunteers. Jabus' unit was at Appomattox, The
Commander Butler refused to let his men surrender, he turned them around and
marched them home. The entire unit was considered to be still in rebellion
until in this century when congress enacted special legislation which would
pardon them, allow them to receive veterans' benefits, and allow them to vote
again. To do so they were required to take a loyalty oath to the United
States. Jabus refused to do so, and was never eligible for veterans' benefits,
never allowed to vote, and died "In Rebellion."
Another story tells that this Brigade left Va. to return to South Carolina to
see that President Jefferson Davis traveled safely across the state over to
the Georgia line, on his way south to Mexico . After doing their duty the men
disbanded and returned to their homes.
