James Holt Clanton (January 8, 1827 – September 27, 1871) was an American soldier, lawyer, and legislator. He enlisted in the United States Army for service during the Mexican–American War, and later was a Confederate Army general during the American Civil War.

==Early life and career==
Clanton was born in 1827 in Columbia County, Georgia,〔Wright, ''General Officers of the Confederate Army'', p. 115.〕 a son of Nathaniel Holt Clanton. In 1835 the family relocated to Macon County, Alabama, where Clanton was raised and educated. Later he attended the University of Alabama located in Tuscaloosa, but he did not graduate. Clanton chose instead to join the U.S. Army and participate in the war with Mexico.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Find A Grave site biography of Clanton )〕
In 1846 Clanton first enlisted for six months as a private in the company of Capt. Rush Elmore, which belonged to Col. Bailie Peyton's regiment. When that term expired, Clanton joined the company of Capt. Preston Brooks of the Palmetto Regiment. Clanton and his regiment reached Mexico City following the September 1847 battle and after the occupation there had ended he returned home to Alabama.〔
After the war Clanton resumed studying law and in 1850 was admitted to Alabama's bar association, settling in Montgomery. Later Clanton served in the state's legislature, and in 1860 he served as an elector on the U.S. Presidential ticket of John Bell and Edward Everett.〔Warner, ''Generals in Gray'', p. 50; Find A Grave site biography of Clanton.〕
