Morgan County was formed in 1823 out of Sangamon Counties, it was named in honor of General Daniel Morgan, who defeated the British at the Battle of Cowpens in the American Revolutionary War. General Morgan was serving under General Nathanael Greene at Cowpens. Jacksonville was established by European Americans on a 160-acre tract of land in the center of Morgan County in 1825, two years after the county was founded; the founders of Jacksonville, Illinois consisted of settlers from New England. These people were "Yankee" settlers, to say they were descended from the English Puritans who settled New England in the 1600s, they were part of a wave of New England farmers who headed west into what was the wilds of the Northwest Territory during the early 1800s.

Most of them arrived as a result of the completion of the Erie Canal and the end of the Black Hawk War. The Yankee migration to Illinois was a result of several factors, one of, the overpopulation of New England; the old stock Yankee population had large families bearing up to ten children in one household. Most people were expected to have their own piece of land to farm, due to the massive and nonstop population boom, land in New England became scarce as every son claimed his own farmstead; as a result, there was not enough land for every family to have a self-sustaining farm, Yankee settlers began leaving New England for the Midwestern United States. When they arrived in what is now Jacksonville there was nothing but dense virgin forest and wild prairie, the "Yankee" New Englanders laid out farms, constructed roads, erected government buildings and established post routes, they brought with them many of their Yankee New England values, such as a passion for education, establishing many schools as well as staunch support for abolitionism.

They were members of the Congregationalist Church though some were Episcopalian. Due to the second Great Awakening some of them had converted to Methodism and Presbyterianism while some others became Baptist, before moving to what is now Jacksonville. Jacksonville, like some other parts of Illinois, would be culturally continuous with early New England culture for most of its early history.

Lucius Bellinger Northrop, was the Commissary-General of the armed forces of the Confederate States of America. Appointed by Confederate president Jefferson Davis, a personal friend, Northrop was responsible for the logistics and supply chain that transported food and forage to the Southern armies of the American Civil War the Army of Northern Virginia. Northrop was responsible for supplying the prison camps that housed Federal prisoners-of-war, such as Andersonville. Northrop was born in South Carolina, he was appointed to the United States Military Academy in West Point, Class of 1831. His time there overlapped with Jefferson Davis. After graduating, Northrop was commissioned as a second lieutenant of dragoons and assigned to a series of posts, including duty in Florida Territory during the Second Seminole War. While on duty in the Indian Territory in October 1839, Northrop suffered a severe wound to his right knee as the result of the discharge of his own pistol. With the exception of a few months of service in the army's subsistence department, he spent the following 8 years on sick leave.

With permission from the War Department, he studied at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia. The connection between Northrop and Davis was significant for Northrop's career. Permanently disabled, Northrop could no longer perform field duties for the United States Army. In January 1848, he was dropped from the army rolls, retiring to civilian life in Charleston and Anne Arundel County, Maryland. However, when Davis was appointed Secretary of War in 1853, the new Cabinet secretary took steps to recall his friend to the Army; the limping Northrop was promoted to the rank of captain. As a Southerner and friend of Davis, Northrop resigned his United States commission in January 1861 to join the secessionist colors. After Davis's election as Confederate president, the new commander-in-chief promoted Northrop to the rank of colonel. In this office, Northrop was responsible for logistical services, including the transport of military necessities to the Confederate armies, the movement of Confederate units from point to point along the battlefront, the supply of necessities to members of the Union Army confined to Southern prisoner-of-war camps.

Northrop served in this role from March 1861 until February 1865. As the Confederate Commissary-General, Northrop faced insurmountable logistical problems; the Southern economy was not organized for total war and did not possess the infrastructure required to generate large quantities of food and clothing, nor to transport them for long distances. The Confederacy lacked machinery to maintain its existing railroad network, or to build new locomotives and railroad cars to replace the equipment, wearing out. In addition, severe inflation wracked the value of the Confederate currency that Northrop's men were authorized to offer to farms and small factories for goods needed by the armies; when allowance is granted for factors beyond Colonel Northrop's control, his performance in supplying food, shoes and other necessities to the armies of the Confederacy was judged inexcusably inadequate by historians such as Bell I. Wiley. On numerous occasions, Confederate soldiers were forced to make do with scanty or inadequate rations, or to forage amongst their own countrymen for the necessities of life.

As the war continued, Confederate soldiers began, in letters home and to their congressmen, to express concerns about the performance of the office of the Commissary-General. Loyal to his friend, aware of the overall logistical dilemmas facing the Confederacy, President Davis refrained from making Northrop into a scapegoat. However, logistical problems worsened and reached a crescendo in the supply situation facing the Army of Northern Virginia during the Siege of Petersburg in the winter of 1864-1865. Although Robert E. Lee's army had by this time become vital to the continued existence of the Confederacy, only two railroad lines linked the hungry soldiers with the fertile fields of Southside Virginia, Northrop's commissary corps was pathetically unable to feed Lee's army. Davis appointed Northrop a brigadier general on November 26, 1864, but he did not risk sending the appointment to the Confederate Senate, where it would have been rejected. Opponents of Northrop, including members of the Confederate House and Senate who believed that the Northrop supply situation had become a deadly threat to the prospect for eventual Confederate victory introduced and adopted extraordinary legislative measures to impeach the Commissary-General or remove him from office.

When Davis sought to appoint Maj. Gen. John C. Breckinridge as the Confederate Secretary of War, Breckinridge demanded as a condition of his acceptance that Northrop be removed. General Robert E. Lee did not directly demand Northrop's resignation but made it clear to Davis that he expected change when he was appointed general in chief, he wrote to the Secretary of War, "If some changes not made and the commissary department reorganized, I apprehend dire results. The physical strength of the men, if their courage survives, must fail under this treatment. Davis gave in and accepted Colonel Northrop's resignation. However, it was too late. Less than two months the well-supplied federal troops of the Army of the Potomac decisively defeated Lee's ill-fed army in the Battle of Five Forks, leading within days to the surrender at Appomattox.
