Robert Franklin Bunting was a<em> Texas Presbyterian minister</em> who established the <em>"First Presbyterian Church of San Antonio." </em>
Although he didn't want to join the war effort initially, the<em> American Civil W</em>a<em>r </em>changed his mind. As he left San Antonio towards the North, he didn't have any intentions to support the<em> "Confederate clause,"</em> which marked <u>white supremacy.</u> He only wanted to go home and be reunited with his wife and child. Upon arriving at Bowling Green in<em> Kentucky</em>, he was prevented from crossing Ohio by the <em>military. </em>Owing to this, he accepted a command to become the<em> chaplain</em> of the Eight Texas Cavalry. He offered his<u> pastoral services</u> to one of the most popular regiments in the<em> American Civil War</em>.
