      Can you please explain what „The CS Army only constituted ~2% of the entire Southern Army“ means?

      I’m surprised the “Arizona Territory” managed to scrape together 5 regiments

      Missouri, Kentucky and Maryland were not neutral; they were slave states that stayed in the Union. It’s ludicrous to say Missouri in particular was neutral when it was the site of vicious battles between proslavery and antislavery militias staring in 1854, seven years before Ft. Sumter.

      Kentucky always gets cited as neutral, but the state had an Avignon Papacy-like situation during the Civil War where about half the state’s senate broke away and elected a new governor. They declared Bowling Green the new state capital and were accepted as a full member of the CSA. The Frankfort government continued on with the Union and that’s the one broader history remembers.

      I’ve long looked for a map of territory held by the two sides over time, but I’ve never found one. I just know the Confederacy did hold significant territory in the state at one point. I grew up near a historic battlefield where Union forces pushed the Confederacy south to Tennessee for a final time, holding that territory for the rest of the war.

      But for a few years there was a Union state of Kentucky and a confederate state of Kentucky that did not recognize each other.

      Hmmm, for the Northern States it showed the flag of the United States, is there any reason this one for the Confederate States isn’t showing the Confederate States flags, instead of the battle flag? I.e. the Stars and Bars.

      Declaring Missouri, Kentucky, and Maryland neutral is painting with a pretty broad brush.

      What would be really interesting is plotting how many Union regiments each secessionist state fielding. If I recall correctly, every state except SC fielded at least one and SC residents fielded several USCT regiments later in the war.

      A more interesting question is how many of these recruited white regiments for the Union? All except SC did. How many colored troops from these states.

      Is this Virginia with 155? Or 1 from WV and 55 from VA… because WV legit voted to break away from Virginia because they were not about that CSA shit

      God damn I’m from NC and I didn’t realize we were second most. Did we have a decently larger population than some of the others? I know the western part of the state was less eager to join the war and ultimately we were second to last to join, what led to such a high number? Why so small from SC, too? Weren’t they real eager to get the war going?

      Love how Georgia’s on fire. Sherman was a hell of a general

      Edit: spelling

      Now, how many regiments did northern states raise for the CSA? Zero point zero. How many regiments did southern states raise for the USA? well over 100.

      Kentucky, Missouri, and Maryland were not neutral. They were on the side of the United States.

      West Virginians serving with the Confederate army comprised all or part of 13 infantry regiments, 3 infantry battalions, 1 mounted infantry battalion, 1 sharpshooter battalion, 12 artillery batteries, 15 cavalry regiments, 6 cavalry battalions and 1 independent company of partisan rangers (McNeill’s Rangers), Some West Virginians also served in Kentucky regiments. (Mark Snelll, West Virginia and the Civil War, pg. 29).

      Good on you man! Reddit asked for this map to compare to your previous post, and you delivered!

      You need to separate west and east Virginia here.

      WV fought in the union. The other Virginia fought with the confederacy
