At age 17, he was an outspoken supporter of President Lincoln. In 1862 he was drafted into Company E of the 48th Alabama Confederate Infantry, and he fought in various skirmishes until the winter. He and nine others then deserted the army and scattered. He returned to his home county and bushwhacked until there was an opportunity to surrender himself to a Federal army unit. He was able to be transferred to Nashville, Tennessee with a group of other prisoners, and they were allowed to enlist in the Federal cavalry. He served with his unit for the remainder of the war, mostly as a muscian rather than a soldier.
At the end of the war, he was afraid to return to Alabama and went to Iowa with a member of the Iowa company he had met while hospitalized near the end of the war. He settled in Jackson County, Iowa for the rest of his own life.⁵ As of after 1865, James Henry Sutton also went by the name of "Alabama Jim" Sutton. About the time of his death, James Henry Sutton was recognized as the last living Civil War veteran in Jackson County, Iowa. He was also thought to be probably the oldest living resident of the county at this same time.
