Teddy Roosevelt's mother was Martha "Mittie" Bullock, whose family owned a large plantation in Roswell ,Georgia, and two of her brothers were officers in the CSA who moved to England after the War.
Young Teddy heard stories of the gallant "CAUSE" while growing up.
While Teddy's uncle, Irvine S Bullock, was the youngest officer to serve on the Confederate raider, CSS ALABAMA, his other was a more important member of the Confederacy.
James Dunwoody Bullock was sent to England by Judah P Benjamin to handle ALL the financial dealings for the Confederacy in England(John Slidell was also involved in England and France), turning cotton into hard currency to purchase warships, munitions, etc, and conducting the CSA blockade runners activities from England, while Benjamin conducted the stateside operation.
CSA Sec of the Navy, Stephen Mallory (from Florida), ordered Bullock to write a check to CSA blockade runner, Patrick Martin, who made runs from Canada to England, for a plan to kidnap US President Lincoln. Martin was to deliver the money to John Wilkes Booth, but his ship went down in a storm with all hands, 1864.
Nevertheless, Bullock was implicated in the Lincoln assassination of Lincoln, along with Benjamin, and both remained and stayed in contact, in England, after the War.
Benjamin and Slidell were both KGC since their early days in New Orleans with Albert Pike at the Pickwick Club, its been claimed that Mallory, through his connection to Benjamin's cousin, David Levy Yulee, was KGC, and it stands to reason that Benjamin would appoint a KGC operative to handle the financial affairs of the Confederacy in England.
