Some Texans served in the Union forces. Approximately 19 Texas cavalry companies were organized (about 2000 soldiers). First Regiment Texas Cavalry (Davis' Regiment) The regiment was organized in New Orleans beginning in November 1862 with eight companies. It was consolidated with the Second Regiment Texas Cavalry in September 1864 bringing the regiment to twelve companies. The unit mustered out of service in November 1865. The Second Regiment Texas Cavalry The Second Regiment Texas Cavalry was organized in Brownsville Texas in late 1863 with five companies. It was consolidated with the First Texas Regiment Cavalry in September, 1864. Second Battalion Texas Cavalry This battalion was organized in March 1865 at Brazos Santiago, Texas and New Orleans, Louisiana. It was mustered out of service in November 1865. Hart's Cavalry Company Hamilton's Body Guards Consolidated with the First Texas Regiment Cavalry in January 1865. Vidal's Partisan Ranger's This company was organized at Brownsville, Texas in late 1863. The unit was mustered out of service July 31, 1864. Return to the Texas Military Unit page

Western Campaign Confederate Uniforms (Under Construction) There were a variety of sources for the uniforms of the Confederates in the Western Campaign. Much (or most in some units)of what the troops wore was civilian cloths of a wide variety. Head gear consisted of slouch hats, sombreros and various military hats. A number of captured union supply depots yielded current issue and earlier military uniforms. Those who entered service directly from the military or who were veterans often brought their old uniforms with them. When surplus or captured US uniforms were used they would do such things as turn the belt buckle upside down and turn coat s inside out to cut the odds of being hit by friendly fire. In Petericolas diary there is mention of buying replacement cloths, particulary trousers made from heavy canvas, in El Paso. Such trousers would likely be cut for the older drop front as well as the more modern "French fly". Footwear could be not only brogans but boots and civilian shoes. On the frontier boots and shoes could take on the look of heavily built moccasins as well as what today is thought of as traditional footwear. Footwear could be built as a pair of right and left shoes and could be straight last, that is made to fit either foot. (The modern reenactor should bear in mind that while a straight last shoe is made to initially fit either foot they should be worn consistently on one foot or the other as with wearing they gradually conform to whichever foot its worn on. Switching back and forth is a good way to destroy both shoes and feet.)

MILITARY HISTORY OF THE LOWRANCE FAMILY Work-In-Progress Document (Last update 16 Oct. 2002) INTRODUCTION A couple of years ago my granddaughter asked if I would visit her social Studies class during Veterans Week and speak. I agreed and contacted her teacher. After speaking with the 6 th grade teacher, she requested I provide her with an overview of my military background and family history. That was the initial step to begin documenting not only my military background but to also investigate my family’s history. The following information is my attempt to document the Lowrance Family military history and in some small way to honor and remember those Lowrance family members, who have proudly served their country and cause, made personal sacrifices, and contributed to the Lowrance legacy. I believe those listed within this document are most probably descendants of Johannes Lorentz Lowrance and Anna Margaretha Heilger Lowrance who settled in New Jersey around 1710. While this document does not attempt to link each military member directly to the original settler Johannes Lorentz Lowrance, it does attempt to put into one document those with the last name Lowrance who have served in the military for future generations to view, investigate, and reflect on as a key part of their heritage.

Gen Nathan B Forrest and Ft Pillow Home Up Letters The Memphis Speech [ Gen Nathan B Forrest and Ft Pillow ] General Nathan Bedford Forrest and Fort Pillow Recently there has been a renewed statement of antagonism toward Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest in our area as a part of the statement of anger toward the Confederate flag. At the opposite pole are those who have much admiration for Gen. Forrest. It is my opinion that many of those who are singling out Gen. Forrest know very little about him and are largely influenced by what they have read that came from the Northern Press during the War Between the States. Mr. Jack Hurst, in 1993, published what I consider the best book written on Gen. Forrest, entitled Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Biography . In it Hurst did an excellent job in describing Forrest's pre-military life and the times in which he lived. He gave us an excellent picture of the man as a person. From Hurst, it is apparent that Gen. Forrest was an opportunist throughout his life but was also, at the same time, a man of pride who tried hard to live his life with a high code of ethics. This nature permitted him to progress from a poor lad with very little education and one whose father died when he was young, to a man of considerable wealth by 1861; to progress from an enlisted private to a Lieutenant General in the Confederate Army; to become a military leader so effective that Gen. Sherman said that the war in the west could not be won as long as Gen. Forrest was alive; to become a handler of cavalry so effective that the German High Command sent military men to Tennessee and Mississippi before WWII to study his tactics, and then applied them to their Panzer Units during WWII.

For the Confederacy? Compare the armies, supplies, strategic positions, and overall goals of both the Union and the Confederacy at the outset of the war. Considering the strengths and weaknesses of each side, do you think a Union victory was assured? Why or why not? The important military leaders for the Confederacy included: P.G.T. Beauregard, Stonewall Jackson, Albert Johnston, Joseph E. Johnston, Robert E. Lee, and James Longstreet. The Union could boast many advantages over the Confederacy at the start of the war. The Union had a population of 18 million, while the Confederacy had only 9 million, 3.6 million of whom were slaves. Farmers in the North produced more edible crops like corn, wheat, and oats than their southern counterparts, and most of the country's deposits of iron, coal, copper, and precious metals were found in the North. Ninety percent of the county's manufacturing capacity, two-thirds of the total railway mileage, and most of the factories for building trains were located in northern states. The Union controlled the seas and had access to European factories and trade.

BLACKS IN THE UNION ARMY OF TENNESSEE (1861-1866) Black Tennesseans were active participants in the American Civil War. They contributed immeasurably to the Union victory. In 1860, Tennessee had 275,719 slaves, who represented twenty-five percent of the population. Tennessee also had 7,300 free blacks in 1860, but they suffered racial discrimination and second-class citizenship without the right to vote. The slaves were owned by 36,894 persons, less than twenty percent of Tennessee's white families. The majority non-slaveholding whites belonged to the yeoman class (farmers and the poor, landless white class). Many white ( i.e. , East) Tennesseans opposed slavery and wanted it stopped. After the Civil War hostilities began at Fort Sumter, South Carolina (in April, 1861), Tennessee's radical Democrats, slaveowners, and southern nationalists led a campaign for secession. The voters defeated the first secession ordinance. But in May, 1861, emotions and pressure by the pro-Confederates ran high after Fort Sumter, causing the secession ordinance to pass. Still the Confederates were no more than a vocal minority because white Unionists (thirty-five percent) and blacks (twenty-six percent) outnumbered them. However, the Confederate minority used conscription acts, loyalty requirements, intimidation, racist propaganda, outright oppression, and occupation of East Tennessee to control most Tennessee inhabitants. The illegal control of Tennessee by the minority Confederates was short-lived. They never had real support among the people in the countryside and could not command the state's resources to effectively prosecute the war. In great paradox, even the slaveowners generally refused to furnish slave labor for the Confederate army. The Confederate General Assembly passed a law to draft free blacks as military laborers in June of 1861.

Skip to content Who We Are MDW HQ Staff Installations ... Public Affairs Confederate Memorial The history of Arlington National Cemetery is steeped in the Civil War, for is was this great national struggle that necessitated the establishment of this cemetery to bury its many dead. For many years following the war, the bitter feelings between North and South remained, and although hundreds of confederate soldiers were buried at Arlington, it was considered a Union cemetery. Family members of Confederate soldiers were denied permission to decorate their loved ones' graves and in extreme cases were even denied entrance to the cemetery. Peaked hadstones that mark the graves of Conferdate soldiers surround the Confederate Monument in Jackson Circle. In the middle of the monument, the solemn figure of a woman representing the South extends a laurel wreath toward her fallen sons. These ill feelings were slow to die but over time they did begin to fade. Many historians believe it was the national call to arms during the Spanish-American War that brought northerners and southerners together at last. In that war numerous Confederate veterans volunteered their services and joined their Northern brothers on the battlefield in the common defense of our nation. In June 1900, in this spirit of national reconciliation, the U.S. Congress authorized that a section of Arlington National Cemetery be set aside for the burial of Confederate dead.

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.

Following the bombardment of Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, on April 15, 1861, President Abraham Lincoln appealed for 75,000 volunteers to fight for the Union Cause. Pennsylvania, one of the states most supportive of the Lincoln administration, responded overwhelmingly with hundreds of patriotic men dedicated to preserving their country. A high number of these volunteers came from Union County. One company immediately left for Harrisburg, the State Capitol, in answer to the President's urgent summons; the second unit soon followed. This was the first of many calls the men of Union County answered to save the fragmented nation. When the North was shocked by defeat in the First Battle of Bull Run at Manassas, Virginia, on July 21, 1861, five Union County companies organized for military action. The Pennsylvania Reserve Volunteer Corps went into Federal service a few days later. The unsuccessful first attempt to capture Richmond in the spring and early summer prompted a call for additional troops on July 7, 1862. Three companies from Union

GRAVES OF UNION SOLDIERS LOCATED IN SUNNYSIDE CEMETERY ORANGEBURG, SOUTH CAROLINA By Dr. Robert Moe Orangeburg, South Carolina In the center of the city of Orangeburg, South Carolina is the Sunnyside Cemetery. Once a private cemetery under the ownership of the Catholic Church, it was transferred to the City of Orangeburg in 1986. The property is bounded on three sides by city streets: To the east, Cemetery Road. On the north by Summers Street. And on the west by Park Street. The south and fourth side is adjacent to private property. It is on this south boundary, in the western corner, that the grave stones of sixteen Union soldiers are located. Actually they are the markers of sixteen soldiers and one civilian. The story begins in April 1865, the same month that the Civil War ended with the surrender of Confederate forces under General Robert E. Lee to the Commander of Union forces General Ulysses S. Grant, at the village of Appomattox Court House. Union troops were ordered to strategic locations throughout the former Confederate States to maintain order, prevent further hostilities and enforce the laws as set forth by the Military Command of the United States. In 1865 these troops were termed "Provost Troops". Today we would call them "Forces of Occupation". The first unit to be stationed in the Orangeburg area were companies of the 55th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment (Colored) who at the end of hostilities found themselves at Charleston and Summerville, South Carolina. They were stationed between Columbia and Orangeburg, setting up district offices of the Freedman's Bureau. In August of 1865, the regiment was returned to Boston.

Published Resources The ordinance of secession adopted by the Virginia State Convention in Richmond on 17 April 1861 was the result of the failure of all political efforts to avert civil war. Virginia joined an increasing list of southern states dissatisfied with further participation in the Union. The seceding states chose, rather, to form a confederation of states in order to maintain the southern political and social order. The great debates over popular sovereignty and states’ rights ended. These issues were settled by a clash of arms. The convention realized the consequences of secession and so instructed Governor John Letcher to make preparations to defend the state from probable attack. The total armed militia force throughout the state by 21 April 1861 numbered 12,050 troops. By January 1864, the most reliable statistics available reveal that over 153,000 Virginians had served in the state’s military forces. The Old Dominion, however, was far from fully prepared for war. Virginia became the battleground for twenty-six major engagements and over four hundred smaller clashes. Ultimately, more men fought and died in Virginia than in any other state. The legacy of each soldier’s service remains within the surviving written record. Researchers using Virginia Civil War records should examine a variety of materials in order to chronicle a soldier’s military experience.

Of particular interest to genealogists as well as historians are military records that provide information on individuals who served in the armed forces during our country's various wars. The Florida State Archives has service records and pension records for many other states on microfilm. These cannot be researched by staff due to the limited number of staff members, however, they are available to all patrons who visit the archives. REVOLUTIONARY WAR During the American Revolution east and west Florida were British royal colonies. Unlike their thirteen neighbors to the north however, the Florida colonies remained loyal to the crown. During the Revolution the Floridas served as a haven for southern loyalists. Several skirmishes were fought along the Georgia-Florida border, and Pensacola was captured by Spanish forces. Because the Revolution took place prior to the American acquisition of Florida, the Archives contains no original archival or manuscript material relating to this conflict. The Archives does have a variety of published books in its Genealogical Collection pertaining to the Revolution, including printed soldiers' rosters from several states and an index to Revolutionary War pension applications (the originals of which are in the National Archives). Additionally, the Archives houses a set of the National Archives Microfilm Publication M804/805: "Revolutionary War Pension and Bounty-Land Warrant Application Files, 1800-1900."
