Answer:

B. William "Tecumseh" Sherman.

Explanation:

William "Tecumseh" Sherman was born on February 8, 1820, in the state of Ohio. He got his middle name "Tecumseh" from his father who died when he was just 9 years old, leaving his poor mother to look after 11 children. William would become a general for the Union Army during the American Civil war.

His unique middle name "Tecumseh" came from his father, who named his son after a Shawnee chief Tecumseh whom he admired. And take from that, William was generally referred to as "Cump" by his friends.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
