March 25 1865 Robert Cobb Kennedy was hanged for trying to set fires in New York. He was part of the "Confederate Army of Manhattan". He had been wounded at Shiloh defending his country and twice captured by the United States as part of a Confederate spy ring operating out of Canada.
By some accounts he got too drunk to properly set the fires. Typical Kennedy... but his heart was in the right place.
