Charles Clark was a lawyer, soldier and politician. Following the secession of Mississippi in early 1861, Clark was appointed as a Brigadier General in the Mississippi 1st Corps, a state militia organization that later entered the Confederate Army. He was later promoted to the rank of Major General of Mississippi State Troops in 1863. Clark led a division at the Battle of Baton Rouge, where he was severely wounded and captured. On November 16, 1863, Clark was inaugurated as governor of Mississippi under Confederate auspices. He served in this capacity until June 13, 1865, when he was forcibly removed from office by occupation forces.[1]
