Ackerman as an educator
[edit]The website http://www.sallysfamilyplace.com/Schools/elmgrove.htm#Elm%20Grove%20ca%201860 indicates Ackerman ran a boy's school in Murfreesboro, NC...not Tennesee as stated in the Wiki article. Quote from the website:
- "1843 -- The Academy at Murfreesboro was under the control of A T Ackerman, a young man from New England, who subsequently removed to Georgia and rose to distinction. Having become prominent as a lawyer he was a Confederate officer; and afterwards Attorney General of the United States under Grant.
- "The male academy in Murfreesboro had been conducted by William H Manning, since of Gates. Hertford never gained or lost a better citizen than Mr. Manning, who still survives [1878] in undiminished usefulness. Edward Carter was his successor."
....Gates and Hertford refer to counties in the extreme eastern NC. Murfreesboro NC is located near there. Engr105th (talk) 05:42, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
- Having no replies in response to my post above, I've changed the article to reflect that he taught in Murfreesboro NC, rather than Murfreesboro TN. Engr105th (talk) 05:39, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
Article improvement
[edit]I believe this article needs improvement in terms of structure and additional content. Cmguy777 (talk) 04:40, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
- I have been making improvements to the article to fit Wikipedia's format. I plan on using McFeely as a reference in the article. The article is currently in a transition phase. Cmguy777 (talk) 17:29, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
Age?
[edit]"At age 22, he joined the Confederate States Army in the spring of 1864"? Not only is the sentence worded a little awkwardly, but Akerman was born in 1821, meaning he turned 22 in 1843! What Seems To Be The Officer, Problem (talk) 12:33, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
A lower court had ruled that if the Clement could prove that White was a black man, he could not hold office.
[edit]I the do the wonder what the the or the is the there for, the why, the maybe not, inclement reign.

- Having made your point here, you could have just fixed the sentence. Ken Gallager (talk) 19:01, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
