format this article to print CIVIL WAR. The sectional controversies that divided the North and South in the 1850s deeply troubled Texans ( see ANTEBELLUM TEXAS). While most Texans had a strong attachment to the Union that they worked so hard to join in 1845, they expressed increasing concern over the attacks upon Southern institutions by Northern political leaders. Although only one Texas family in four owned slaves, most Texans opposed any interference with the institution of slavery, qv which they believed necessary for the continued growth of the state. Many Texans considered the election of Abraham Lincoln to the presidency (November 1860) as a threat to slavery. They urged Governor Sam Houston qv to call a convention of the people to determine what course of action the state should take. Houston, devoted both to Texas and the Union, paid little heed to these requests, refusing to take any step that might aid secession. qv The demands for a convention increased, however, with the secession of South Carolina in December 1860 and the calling of state secession conventions in Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana in early January. A group of secessionist leaders, including O. M. Roberts, John S. (Rip) Ford, George M. Flournoy, and William P. Rogers, qqv issued an address to the people calling for the election of delegates to a state Secession Convention qv in early January. Houston attempted to forestall the convention by calling a special session of the legislature and recommending that it refuse to recognize the convention. Instead, the legislature gave approval to the convention, on the condition that the people ratify its outcome by a final vote.

Union and Confederate Military Units Participating in 1865 Mobile Campaign Approximately 55,000 soldiers marched through Baldwin County during the months of March and April of 1865. The number is considerable as one realizes that there were less than 8,000 inhabitants living in the county in the census of 1860. 10,000 Confederates were stationed throughout the Mobile area, some 2,500 defending the City of Mobile while the rest were found at Fort Blakely and Spanish Fort. The 15th and 16th Confederate Cavalry, and 6th and 8th Alabama Cavalry were off roaming around Baldwin County, scouting the area for the movement of the Union troops. 32,000 Union soldiers marched through the entire length of Baldwin County up the eastern shore while 14,000 Union troops came out of Pensacola, traveled due north, then turned back south in a surprise movement to invest Blakeley.

Click on images for larger view Mississippi Soldiers in the Civil War Documents by John F. Marszalek and Clay Williams The Civil War took the lives of more Americans than all the other United States conflicts combined, from the American Revolution through Vietnam. Amazingly, more soldiers succumbed to disease, such as measles and dysentery, than died from the awful wounds caused by grape, cannister, and rifled musket minie balls. Being a white or a black soldier in the conflict between the North and the South was no glamorous adventure; it was horror of the worst magnitude. Mississippi played a pivotal role in the war. The second state to secede from the Union, its secession resolution, like those of the other southern states, clearly stated that defense of slavery was its reason for leaving the Union. With a population of 791,000 people, Mississippi's slaves outnumbered whites 437,000 to 354,000. Slavery, therefore, seemed to be an absolute necessity for the state's white citizens. White soldiers from Mississippi reflected the state's position on slavery, but they fought for a variety of other reasons, too. Some joined the military to defend home and hearth, while others saw the conflict in broader sectional terms. The soldiers' motivation was generally more personal than it was ideological.

Oakwood Cemetery, Hallowed Ground Due For A Facelift by Joseph D. Kyle Richmond National Battlefield Park In 1866 when the federal government created a national cemetery system to care for the Union soldiers buried in southern soil, there was no provision for the dead "rebels." The graves of southern soldiers who died defending the capital were left in the care of local citizens. Richmonders were indignant, and within weeks ladies associations formed to help Hollywood and Oakwood cemeteries care for the soldier’s graves. The Ladies Oakwood Memorial Association, later known as the Oakwood Memorial Association, soon became an integral part of life on Church Hill and remained so for 100 years. Oakwood Cemetery was established in 1854 on a 60-acre parcel east of the city because St. John’s Burying Ground and Shockoe Cemetery were filled. In August 1861, the City Council authorized its use for Confederate soldier burials. By late 1862 thousands were buried at Oakwood, often hastily and in shallow graves. At war’s end, more than 17,000 soldiers had been laid to rest. There were many Union burials in Oakwood, mostly prisoners from Libby Prison. Martin Lipscomb of Richmond held a contract from the Confederate government to bury the Union soldiers, and once said that his occupation was "pickling pork and burying dead Yankees." In December 1865, a survey by the U.S. Christian Commission reported there were no records for Union interments at Oakwood, only headboards with faded and incomplete legends. Most graves were unmarked and the sexton reported that many headboards had disappeared, taken by the poor for fuel.

The Adjutant General is appointed by the governor and serves as the administrative head of the state's military establishment. Responsibilities include administration, discipline, mobilization, organization, and training of guard forces. The Missouri National Guard is available for national emergencies and can be activated by the governor for state emergency duty. The Missouri State Archives holds records from the Adjutant General's office reflecting the service of Missourians in foreign and domestic wars between 1812 and World War II. Included in the collection are service records/cards, muster rolls, payrolls, descriptive rolls, and miscellaneous information such as oaths, orders, reports, commissions, and more.

Black Flag: GUERRILLA WARFARE IN THE TRANS-MISSISSIPPI by Roger Busbice The clearest, the most refined, version of guerrilla warfare in American history, other than the Indian wars, can be found in the War Between the Statesand, specifically, in the war west of the Mississippi. Guerrilla war in the Trans-Mississippi did not begin with Fort Sumter and did not end with Kirby Smith's surrender. It was a gut-wrenching expression of defiance, courage, and slaughter which defied the rules of conventional nineteenth century views of conflict. Winston Churchill once described the War Between the States as the "last war between gentlemen" and, in the east, even among the Partisan Rangers of John Singleton Mosby's command, such was usually the case. The most significant violation of the rules of war in that region resulted not from Mosby's chivalrous version of irregular warfare but from the murderous actions of Union cavalry general George Armstrong Custer who unhesitatingly executed prisoners of war. In the middle South, during the war, genuine guerrilla warfare was waged in West Virginia, in Tennessee, and in Kentucky. Unionists in east Tennessee and northern Alabama spread terror among civilians and, by their actions, brought reciprocal terror to their own from Confederate irregulars such as Champ Ferguson. The black flag, the historic symbol of no quarter, was flown on both sides of the Mississippi and shouts of "no prisoners" were heard from pro-Confederate townspeople in what is now Bluefield, West Virginia when Southern troops arrived to drive out the hated Yankee occupation forces in 1863. Yet, it was in the Trans-Mississippi, the Confederate department which included the states of Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, and Missouri, along with the Indian Territory which is now Oklahoma and the Arizona Territory which included what is now southern New Mexico, that guerrilla warfare played its most important role.

Home About This Site Irish Genealogy Recipe Collections ... Dance Web AllAboutIrish.com History Interesting Places People Diaspora ... Site A-to-Z Index Irish Units in the American Civil War by Pat Friend There were roughly 185,000 Irish-American immigrants who fought on both sides of the American Civil War. Of that number all but about 40,000 were in the Union forces. (The large total does also not include descendants of earlier immigrants who may have still held some affinity to their Irish heritage.) The bulk of the immigrants served in largely Irish units, though the organizational placement of those Irish units in the Union and Confederate armies was considerably different. Why separate Irish units? It helps to understand how the armies were formed but it is also impossible to ignore that there was a certain amount of distrust and discrimination against the Irish in the United States at the time the war broke out. The Confederates, of course, had to start from scratch. Since they considered themselves a union of almost sovereign states, they turned to those states to raise military forces. As for the Union, Lincoln had only a small standing army at his disposal when it became obvious that the Southern states were going to secede and that war was inevitable. That army was further reduced in size by the resignation of officers and men who felt their primary loyalties lay with the Southern states they called home and accepted positions in the Confederate forces.

Confederate States Army From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Some Confederate soldiers The Confederate States Army (CSA) was formed in February , to defend the Confederate States of America , which had itself been formed that same year when seven southern states seceded from the United States (with four more to follow). The army was formed around a core of 313 officers who left the United States Army , and had an initial enlistment of 82,000 volunteers. In August of 1861, the Congress of the Confederacy authorized the recruitment of 400,000 men. In April of , The Confederate Congress passed the Conscription Act , which drafted all white men aged 18 to 35. In total, 1,406,180 men enlisted or were drafted into the Confederate States Army. The CSA was initially a (strategically) defensive army, and many soldiers resented it when Lee led the Army of Northern Virginia in an invasion of the North in the Antietam Campaign . As many as 50,000 men deserted during the start of the campaign, claiming that their enlistments were for defense of their homeland, not invasion. After the losses at Vicksburg and Gettysburg , the number rose to 100,000.

Table of Contents My First Success Story Many times the beginning of any part of a genealogist's research will start with a family story. My search for a Union Civil War veteran began with my third great-grandfather, Xerxes Knox . I had a copy of a letter, written by his youngest son in 1963, to my grandmother. In it he stated simply that his father was a Civil War veteran, along with the date of birth and date of death for his father. Not much to go on, but then I hadn't yet found out about the wonderful treasure-trove of information that was waiting for me in a musty-old file in Washington, DC. On a visit to the National Archives branch in Seattle, I had spent the entire day searching for various ancestors and had no luck locating anyone in any of the places they were supposed to be. I had a half-hour to kill before closing and thought I would explore the back room. There was a tall filing cabinet filled with rolls of microfilm called the General Index to Pension Files, 1866 to 1934.

Old Huntsville Magazine Click Here To Return To Main Page Confederate Units of Madison County Huntsville and Madison County did not rush eagerly into secession in 1861. In fact, the county elected two cooperationist delegates who voted against secession at the January 1861 Alabama Secession Convention. Nevertheless, when war came both the city and county promptly rallied to the defense of their State. Madison County provided 10 infantry companies, 8 cavalry companies, and one artillery battery to the Confederate Army. At least two more infantry companies had been formed in 1861, but were disbanded because Alabama could not accept any more troops at that time. In addition, six Confederate home guard units existed from mid-1861 to early 1862, when the Union Army seized the city. This total of 27 Confederate units is impressive when one remembers that Huntsville and Madison County were occupied by the Union Army for nearly half of the four years of war. The Confederate draft was rarely enforced in Madison County, which means that almost all these men were volunteers. While Madison County provided no units for the invading Union army, a few local residents did enlist in the Northern forces. White Unionists mainly went into the 1st Alabama Cavalry Regiment (US), which was composed largely of men from Winston and Walker Counties. Black Union volunteers and draftees principally were assigned to the 106th U. S. Infantry (Colored), a regiment of only four companies which was organized at Decatur in March

What is a Regiment? Gettysburg National Military Park Kidzpage Morning roll call by Charles Reed Understanding the terms used for military organizations can be just as difficult as remembering who fought the Battle of Gettysburg, so the historian must understand the terms for military units, why they were named as they were, and how the armies were organized. Civil War armies were organized according to military manuals written long before the first shot was fired. Remarkably, the same officer wrote the manual for both sides! William J. Hardee wrote his book on infantry tactics in the 1850's and then re-wrote the manual for Confederate use when he resigned from the United States Army and joined the Confederacy. The War Departments of North and South made several adjustments to their respective military departments and army organizations throughout the war, but the basic organization remained the same. The two armies that fought at Gettysburg were organized in a similar fashion and had a similar command structure. The "Army of the Potomac" was the primary Union army in the eastern theater of the war and the "Army of Northern Virginia" was the main Confederate force.

Search ( Enter the name of an historical figure, event or issue) Military Intelligence - Part I The Revolutionary War to World War I The use of intelligence in war In the following context, intelligence is generally defined as information prepared for the use of policy makers. Such policy makers as generals and presidents take intelligence into account when making their decisions and acting upon them. The information springs from a variety of sources, such as spies or codebreakers, and is analyzed and written by evaluators. The main purpose of intelligence is to enable policy makers to optimize their physical and psychological resources. Intelligence sources may be grouped into three categories: human, imagery, and signal. Human intelligence includes the most basic form of military intelligence, which is observation. Soldiers at the front lines watch their enemies for details that might provide information on what the enemy is doing, as well as where and when and how fast. Soldiers remain the backbone of information about the enemy. The most glamorous, but least reliable source of human intelligence is espionage. Imagery intelligence is based on visible light, infrared, or on radar. Pictures in light give fine detail while those taken by infrared or radar are coarser but can penetrate darkness or cloud. They provide literal snapshots of events. Photo interpreters can tell, for instance, how wide a bridge or other structure is.

Confederate Military Terminology Company: A company was commanded by a Captain. In theory made up from 100 soldiers. This varied greatly, however especially in the Confederacy. In practice a Confederate company was composed of 50 to 100 soldiers. A company could be further broken down into squads (usually 4 to a company) commanded by lieutenants, sergeants and corporals. Officially a company had a letter or number designation such as Company A 1st Virginia Volunteers. Very often especially early in the war, a company would take on a colorful name, and be known by that, such as the Raccoon Roughs. Battalions: This was not a common unit on either side, but both sides had them, the Confederacy a little more so than the Union. Battalions were composed of 2 to 6 companies and consisted of 200 to 600 soldiers Battery: In theory a Confederate battery would consist of 6 artillery pieces, each with a limber drawn by 6 horses In addition a battery would have 6 caissons, with each caisson requiring 6 horses. With this many horses and wheeled vehicles, a battery would have artificers (blacksmiths) and farriers with mobile forges as well. In practice, however, the Confederate battery had only 4 to 5 field pieces often not of the same caliber. Again, in theory, a battery would consist of of 150 to 160 men commanded by a captain.The captain would be assisted by 4 lieutenants, 2 staff sergeants, 6 sergeants, a dozen corporals 70 cannoneers, 50 or so drivers, with the artificers, farriers and a couple of buglers rounding out the lot. In practice the average Confederate battery would make do with fewer men and horses.
