Note that these were figures just for the Union Army. There were a lot more than either enlisted on the other branches of the US military at the time or they served as irregular guerrillas or spies across the South at the time.

i had no idea of these kinds of movements, well i did, but to learn specific instances of this is fascinating as an American

I had about two dozen great-grandfathers and great-uncles that fought for the First Alabama Cavalry. Nine, including both my G4-grandfather and his son, my G3-grandfather, died. At that time, the Western half of Cullman county was in Winston county and that is where they all lived. After Stoke Roberts and the Confederate home guard came into Winston county in May of 1862 and began capturing men to conscript into the Confederate army, Bill Looney and a Union recruiter held a meeting in July of 1862 and on the 21st and 22nd of that month, almost 100 Winston county men were led to cross the Tennessee river near Rogersville and enlist into the Union army. I have one G3-grandfather who was given a sword by General Sherman after the war as a reward for his service in the Atlanta campaign and the campaigns through Georgia and the Carolinas. No-one knows where the sword is today, but there is allegedly a photograph of him holding the sword.

1. West Virgina secceded succesfully from Virginia, but this new (35th) state got some proconfederate sentiment counties (as a present...) so 50%-50% were the soldiers for both parts. 2. East Tenneessee wanted to secced from Tenneessee but general Zolicofer occupied the area in 1861 and Burnside liberated Knoxville in 1863. General George Thomas had 2 east Tenneessee regiments in the battle of Mill Springs in january of 1862, where General Zolicoffer died. 3. Ozark region gave unionist regiments after Curtiss won the battle of Pea Ridge in Arkansas. 4. South Alabama and Texas had prounionist gerilla movements. 5. Hollywood discovered Jones county in Mississipi state.

I found the same thing in western NC and eastern TN, even that NC had mounted rifle units, that fought for the union. Have you found this out in other states other than Jones county MS

There were a lot of people from North Georgia who fought for the union.

If I was alive then I'd probably be a Southern Unionist too. I love our Union. Our Constitutional Republic.

My great-great-grandfather, William Henry Barton, was one of these men. He died amid the horrific conditions at Andersonville Prison. His five brothers, and two of his brothers in law, also joined the Union, as did the patriarch of the family, Willis. My great-great-great-uncle Jonathan Marion Barton was the sheriff in Winston County after the war, having survived the war fighting for the Union. How about some statues to reflect the real history of the place? That confederate statue with its traitor flags flying in that photo is just sickening, and an insult to the memory of the REAL men of that county from that era.

The first and second unionist Tennessee regiments were found in 1861 in Kentucky before the Confederacy draft before summer of 1862! The 1862 Confederacy draft did the neutrality to be very difficult, so the desertion rate increaed step by step years after years bigger and bigger. Some North Georgian young left their state and they joined the Tennessee unionist regiments to avoid the Confederacy draft!

Build more monuments for the men who remained loyal to the United States.

Great uncle Noah Parris served in the 1st Alabama Union cavalry. I believe he may have been captured and wàs tooken prisoner in Rome Georgia. He survived and was eventually able to return back home to his family in Fayette co. Ala. Near carbon hill ala. He was also eventually elected Sharif. In 1876 he was shot in the back in the Town square ,ànd left there to bleed out all night ,as towns folk came and went just walking around his dead body all day and night. He was eventually tossed into a cart ànd hauled off and buried!! I was able to eventually locate his grave in 2001! He was apparently given a proper burial in a really tiny very hard to find Church burial ground deep in the backwoods of Sweet home ala. Then I was really amazed and so happy ,thankful, prowled that someone had cared enough to place a tombstone on his final resting space for all time!!!! One other note is was a Federal union issued marker ,the same kind that you would see at any National veteran's memorial cemetery anywhere in America. It was the only Union headstone in the cemetery behind that little beautiful Church yard .And, yes it was surrounded by many ,many Confederate headstones. But that was okay.I really enjoyed the experience and felt a peace deep down in my heart and soul that words could never explain!!!! If their is somebody out there that is aware of this information, please share your knowledge! It would be a great blessing ,for everybody ,evolved I assure you!!!! GobBless!!! NOAH PARRIS. 1st.ALA.

@@baneofbanes East Tenneessee 1th and 2th prounionist infantry regiments fought from the begining of the Civil War under general George Thomas in the battle of Mill Springs in January of 1862. West Virginian infantry and cavalry regiments fought well at Gettysburg. East Tenneessee and West Virginia were lack of plantation system. Arkansas Ozark region gave a lot of prounionist troops. Here the plantation system was very very weak. North Georgia was too far to the Union so very few North Georgian volounters could join to the Unionist regiments, but a few North Georgian young men went to East Tenneessee after Burnside LIBERATED East Tenneessee to fight for the Union. Texan unionists founded regiments in Lousiana! The Northern and Southern free blacks and exslaves gave about 200 000 soldiers to the Union, but the about 100 000 white prounionist soldiers from the all Confederacy fought for the Union. The unionist border states (Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware) gave about 100 000 proconfederate soldiers. So the about 100 000 proconfederate Northern soldiers and the 100 000 prounionist Southerner soldiers were same. A lot of area was too far to the North or the Northern Army or Navy reached them too late, so the potential prounionist white soldiers were more than about 100 000 people. When Sherman occupied Atlanta some prounionist troops were founded in North Georgia. Between the prounionism and the lower slavery population were positive correlation. Almost the most interesting exception was Middle Kentucky where a lot of higher slaves populated counties were prounionists not only East Kentucky. Here the Henry Clay posthumus effect changed many people to be unionists thinking of all country. Missouri and Maryland showed this correlation well. Little Dixie in Missouri and the Tobbaco counties in Maryland were proconfederate areas, both areas had higher % slave population.

Why does this narrator talk so dang fast?! Also, the "music" is distracting and annoying!
