States Rights Gist (September 3, 1831 – November 30, 1864) was a lawyer, a militia general in South Carolina, and a Confederate Army brigadier general who served during the American Civil War.
A relative of several prominent South Carolinians, Gist rose to fame during the war but was killed at the Battle of Franklin on November 30, 1864.
His name was based on the Southern states’ rights doctrine of nullification politics of his father, Nathaniel Gist.
Nathaniel Gist was a disciple of John C.
