David B. Birney
David Bell Birney was a businessman, lawyer, and a Union General in the American Civil War.
Birney was born in Huntsville, Alabama, the son of an abolitionist from Kentucky, James G. Birney. The Birney family returned to Kentucky in 1833, and James Birney freed his slaves. In 1835, the family moved to Cincinnati, where the father published an antislavery newspaper. Following numerous threats from proslavery mobs, the family moved again to Michigan, and finally to Philadelphia.
