SOME OVERWHELMING NUMBERS:
1. The State of New York with 448,850 and Pennsylvania with 337,936 Union soldiers aggregated 768,635 soldiers and outnumbered the entire Confederate army.
2. Illinois with 259,092, Ohio with3 13,180 and Indiana with 196,363 soldiers aggregated 768,635 soldiers and outnumbered the Confederate army.
3. New England with 363,162 and the 316,424 Union soldiers of the slave States aggregated 679,586 soldiers and outnumbered the Confederate army.
4. The States west of the Mississippi River,exclusive of Missouri and the other Southern States, enlisted 319,563, Delaware, New Jersey, and the District of Columbia 105,632, and the negro troops enlisted in the Southern States and not before counted were 99,337 an aggregate of 514,532 soldiers.

Good, screw them all.
Its what I've always said, we didnt lose that war, we just ran out of beans and bullets before they did.

Absolutely.
One of the questions never asked is per capita, which was the largest slave holder state pre War of Northern Aggression............New York.
ReplyDeleteHadn't heard that. I don't believe you could be referring to 1861, but maybe early 1800's? Do you have a link?
