Before Louisiana seceded from the Union in January 1861, William Tecumseh Sherman served as the superintendent of a newly established military academy in Louisiana, known as the Louisiana Seminary of Learning and Military Academy (which later became Louisiana State University). He began this position in January 1860 after being recommended for the role by his friends Braxton Bragg and P.G.T. Beauregard.12
