Extractions: Beginner's Guide to Family History Research - Chapter 7 As you research your ancestors back through time, consider their participation in wars. Remember, you are searching for circumstances and events that created records with genealogical value. Military service often creates two kinds of records: service and benefits from having served. The National Archives in Washington, DC, is the largest repository of military records in the United States. An entire microfilm catalog is devoted to military records. Copies of those microfilm publications have been distributed throughout the United States and are available at major libraries with genealogical collections. Read a basic United States history text to learn more about the wars in which our country has been involved. Our government began with a war, the American Revolution, 1776-1783. We fought Great Britain again in 1812 and lost many records in a fire in Washington DC, the nation's new capital. In the early 19th century, we fought a series of wars with various Indian tribes. In 1846-1848, we fought a war with Mexico over Texas' entry into the union. The bloodiest of all our wars was the War Between the States or Civil War, fought between 1861 and 1865. We participated in the Spanish-American War in 1898, a war for independence for Cuba and the Philippines. World War I, once called the Great War, involved the United States in 1917 and 1918. 'Modern' wars, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, are within living memory of many Americans.

http://www.civilwarhome.com/alaunits.htm

Extractions: On January 11, 1861 Alabama became the fourth state to leave the Union, its secession convention calling for a meeting of delegates from all Southern states in Montgomery, the state capital, on February 4. At this meeting the new provisional government of the Confederate States of America was organized, with Montgomery selected as its temporary seat and Jefferson Davis elected president. The Confederacy went to war financed largely by a $500,000 loan from the state of Alabama. In one section of northern Alabama, where antislavery feeling was strong, there was a movement to form a pro-Union state. State Rep. Hugh Clay feared that an attempt would be made "to excite the people of North Alabama to rebellion vs. the State and we will have a civil war in our midst," but the movement failed. At the beginning of hostilities Alabama state troops seized forts at the entrance to Mobile Bay and the Union arsenal at Mount Vernon. There was no fighting in the state early in the war, but in 1862 invading Federal forces held sizable areas. To resist the invasion, almost every white Alabamian old enough to carry a gun enlisted in the Confederate forces. Some 2,500 white men and 10,000 blacks had already enlisted in the Union army.

Extractions: Organization of the Armies in the Civil War ARMIES were the largest of the "operational organizations." In the case of the Federal forces, these generally took their name from their department. "The Federals followed a general policy of naming their armies for the rivers near which they operated; the Confederates named theirs from the states or regions in which they were active. Thus the Federals had an Army of the Tennessee -not to be confused with the Confederate Army of Tennessee." Actually, it would appear that the armies took their names from the departments in which they operated (or were originally formed), and these departments took their names from rivers in the case of the Federals and from states or regions in the case of the Confederates. There were no firm rules on this matter of names, however: there was a Confederate Army of the Potomac; and the Confederate Army of (the) Mississippi is referred to in the Official Records about as often with "the" as without. These armies were at least 16 on the Union side and 23 on the Confederate side.

General Logan's order began, 'The thirtieth of May 1868 is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country (during the late rebellion) and whose bodies lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet churchyard in the land...' The Services were held in Carbondale, Illinois, and Col. E.J. Ingersoll led 219 Union veterans parading to the cemetery where Gen. Logan gave the principal speech which included these words: 'Every man's life belongs to his country and no man has the right to refuse it when his country calls for it!'"

Extractions: The Battle of Chickamauga September 19-20, 1863 It took considerable prodding from Washington and about six months before the Union Army of the Cumberland (58,000+ men - MG William S. Rosecrans commanding) was on the offensive again after its strategic victory at Stones River (Murfreesboro, 31 Dec. 1862 - 2 Jan. 1863). Moving southeast from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, a deliberate Rosecrans skillfully outmaneuvered an indecisive GEN Braxton Bragg MG Ambrose E. Burnside , commanding) were on the march from Lexington, Kentucky to take Knoxville, TN - an area of strong pro-Union sentiment (occupied on 2-3 September). Again through deceptive maneuvers Rosecrans' columns out-flanked a confused Confederate army along the Tennessee River. A reluctant Bragg, fearing a Federal attempt to cut his lines of communication and supply to Atlanta, abandoned Chattanooga without a fight (7 Sep.) and retreated into northwest Georgia (toward Rome). Shaken by the loss of this key city the Confederate command in Richmond sent reinforcements from Mississippi and from Virginia ( LTG James Longstreet's MG George Thomas , commanding) made a forced march to bolster the Federal left flank. At dawn (19 September) advanced units of Thomas' corps clashed with dismounted Confederate cavalry (elements of

Extractions: The Battle of the Wilderness May 5-6, 1864 With the Spring of 1864 came the final great pivotal battles in the West ( Vicksburg ) and in the East ( Gettysburg ). And now, with the advent of the last full year of fighting, the growing preponderance of northern might, fueled by a superior industrial capacity and an abundant supply of manpower, would be felt by an ever shrinking Southland, whose ability to sustain the war effort diminished daily as 1864 wore on. In early March, the Union's most successful campaigner, MG Ulysses S. Grant , was summoned East by President Lincoln to replace MG Henry W. Halleck MG George G. Meade , commanding but under LTG Grant's strategic control), was simple and direct: Meade would move continuously against the Army of Northern Virginia (62,000+ men - GEN Robert E. Lee MG Benjamin F. Butler , commanding) was marching up the south bank of the James River toward Petersburg in an attempt to cut the Army of Northern Virginia's supply and communications lines. To the northwest, troops from the Department of West Virginia (6,500+ men - MG Franz Sigel , commanding) were detailed to harass the Shenandoah Valley and destroy Confederate resources. Both Union peripheral actions, however, would suffer significant setbacks by mid-May. But now, after months of preparation, the long columns of the Army of the Potomac, in the early morning darkness of 4 May, began crossing the Rapidan River, 17 miles west of Fredericksburg, plunging into the Virginia Wilderness - the first great battle of 1864 was only hours away. Grant hoped to quickly clear the Wilderness, a desolate area (12 miles wide by 6 miles deep) of dense, second growth scrub oak and pine and the scene of Lee's great tactical victory at

How do I obtain a copy of his service records? What information is available in Veteran's Service Records? 1. At what age did men serve in the Civil War? The average age of the Civil War soldier was 22 years old. If you have a male ancestor who was born between the years 1828 and 1847, there is a good chance that he served during the war. While it is less likely that men born outside this range served, it is not entirely impossible. There are instances of men in their 50s and 60s serving in the war, as well as boys in their early teens. For example, in the 25th Tennessee Infantry CSA, William C. Daughtery, age 13, was a drummer in Company D. James R. Copeland, age 54, served in Company H. William Carland, age 62, served in Company A. Many times men above the age of 32 and boys below the age of 17 joined and were discharged not long after. However, paperwork was still generated on them. 2.

Extractions: P. K. Rose is in the Directorate of Operations. "Black Dispatches" was a common term used among Union military men for intelligence on Confederate forces provided by Negroes. This source of information represented the single most prolific and productive category of intelligence obtained and acted on by Union forces throughout the Civil War. In 1862, Frederick Douglass wrote: The true history of this war will show that the loyal army found no friends at the South so faithful, active, and daring in their efforts to sustain the government as the Negroes-. Negroes have repeatedly threaded their way through the lines of the rebels exposing themselves to bullets to convey important information to the loyal army of the Potomac. Black Dispatches resulted from frontline tactical debriefings of slaveseither runaways or those having just come under Union control. Black Americans also contributed, however, to tactical and strategic Union intelligence through behind-the-lines missions and agent-in-place operations. Two such Union agents functioned as long-term penetrations of Confederate President Jefferson Davis's "White House" staff in Richmond, Virginia. Even such a prominent woman as Harriet Tubman, best known for her activities involving the "underground railroad," played an important role in Union intelligence activities. The value of the information that could be obtained, both passively and actively, by black Americans behind Confederate lines was clearly understood by most Union generals early in the war. Popular recognition of this was also apparent through a stream of articles and stories in the Northern press during the war. Gen. Robert E. Lee, commander of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, was equally aware, and in May 1863 he said, "The chief source of information to the enemy is through our Negroes."

http://history-sites.com/research/basic.html

Extractions: +Comments Union and Confederate Records Compiled Military Service Records (CMSR) Generally, Union CMSRs contain more "cards" and provide more information than Confederate CMSRs due to the loss and destruction of Confederate records and the institutions which stored them. In addition, many Confederate CMSRs are incomplete beyond 1863 and in some cases would lead the researcher to believe that the soldier went "AWOL" (absent without leave) or deserted, when in fact, their absence was temporary and the later documents showing additional "distinguished" service do not exist. Our researchers will take this into account when providing your records and attempt to find war ending records of their continued service, such as, "Surrender Rolls" for Appomattox, VA, Greensboro, NC, Gainesville, AL, Shreveport, LA and other lesser-known locations where Confederate veterans were surrendered and paroled at wars end. Pension Records Most Union army soldiers or their widows or minor children later applied for a pension. On a percentage basis, fewer Confederate Soldiers and their widows received pensions, as Confederate pensions were generally made available at a much later date than the Union pensions, therefore, many of the Confederate Veterans and their spouses had passed away by the time the pensions made available to them. In some cases, a dependent father or mother applied for a pension. If you are fortunate enough to have a Confederate Ancestor with a pension, you may find a wealth of information in them similar to the Union pensions.
