Union Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Army of the James, the army operating on the Virginia Peninsula, 1864–65, commanded by Benjamin Butler and Edward Ord. Army of the Ohio, the army operating primarily in Kentucky, and later Tennessee and Georgia, commanded by Don Carlos Buell, Ambrose E. Burnside, and John M. Schofield. Army of the Gulf, the army operating in the region bordering the Gulf of Mexico, commanded by Benjamin Butler, Nathaniel P. Banks, and Edward Canby. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Union_Army   (2342 words)

United States Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Upon joining the Army, all Soldiers (officers and enlisted) must swear (or affirm) an oath to "protect the Constitution of the United States from all enemies, both foreign and domestic." This emphasis on the defense of the United States Constitution illustrates the concern of the framers that the military be subordinate to legitimate civilian authority. The Army of the United States was re-established for the Korean War and Vietnam War and was demobilized upon the suspension of the draft. Although the present-day Army exists as an all volunteer force, augmented by Reserve and National Guard forces, measures exist for emergency expansion in the event of a catastrophic occurrence, such as a large scale attack against the US or the outbreak of a major global war. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/United_States_Army   (8231 words)

FEEDING BILLY YANK - Union Rations between 1861 and 1865 Not all of the South produced edible crops, and usually the Confederate Army was nearby to prevent the Union troops from dispersing enough to glean rations from the countryside. Only when a march took them beyond the range of army wagons, as happened from time to time with the fast-moving cavalry, or when a battle separated them from their primary depots did Union soldiers go without food. Scenes like this were enacted countless times in hundreds of Union Army infantry and cavalry regiments as well as batteries of artillery throughout the course of the Civil War. www.qmfound.com /feeding_billy_yank.htm   (2754 words)

Gettysburg Battlefield Online The Union Army fought for the North from 1861-1865. As with the Confederate army, the Union army had to rely heavily on "Volunteers" from the several states. A mainstay of the Army of the Cumberland, the latter for a time lacked 2 companies, which formed a headquarters escort unit in the Army of the Potomac. www.angelfire.com /pa4/gettysburg/union.html   (768 words)

Adminstration of the Union Army The sense of war weariness, the lack of confidence in commanders, and the discouragement of defeat tended to lower the morale of the Union army and to increase desertion. In view of the conditions which prevailed in the war department and in the Union army, it is not surprising that desertion was a common fault. To understand what manner of army it was that fought the battles of the Union one must read the spirited accounts of Bruce Catton and Bell I. Wiley, along with the caustic criticisms of Fred A. Shannon and General Emory Upton. www.civilwarhome.com /armyadmin.htm   (2703 words)

The Civil War in Georgia Sherman's armies successfully cut the south apart; the remaining southern armies in Virginia and the Carolinas were no longer able to draw supplies from the vital farmlands and factories of Georgia, Florida, Alabama, and Mississippi. Union cavalry attempted the same trick, but were defeated by Confederates at Lovejoy's Station on August 20. After a night of Union bombardment that the Confederates could not return, the north scarp of the fort was destroyed and incoming shells were landing close to the magazine, where a direct hit would cause a cataclysmic explosion. www.cherokeerose.com   (2508 words)

Native North Georgia Union Sentiments - 1 Old Union men, whose hands had never done aught but deeds of kindness, and whose hearts had never responded to any other thought but to stand by the flag and to minister to the afflicted and distressed, were arrested or slain. Certain Union men along the way were known and could be approached with safety for all needed information and there were relay stations from which guides went to the next resting place. But the Union men, always alert and determined, were thoroughly organized, and yet much strategy had to be employed to elude the vigilance of these guards. www.izzy.net /~michaelg/darnell.htm   (2553 words)

The Union Army Ambulance Corps Such improved organization was copied or approximated in the other field armies despite loud opposition from the Quartermaster Corps, which wanted to keep control of ambulances and drivers, and from some field commanders, of whom Major General Don Carlos Buell of the Army of the Ohio was notable for noncooperation. Despite the vast improvement in the evacuation of the wounded from the battle field, it was not until March 1864 that Congress published the act (Public 22) to create an Ambulance Corps for all the Union Armies. It was a vast improvement over the earlier "system," wherein bandsmen in the Union command, and men randomly specified in the Confederacy, were simply appointed to drive the ambulances and carry the litters. www.civilwarhome.com /ambulancecorps.htm   (346 words)

The Red Army The army had to be established quickly as it was needed to fight the White Army during the Civil War. Political leaders in the troops (Red Army) are not recognized as prisoners of war and are to be liquidated at the latest in the prisoner-of-war transit camps. Initially a volunteer army, losses during the Civil War forced the Soviet government to introduce conscription in June, 1918. www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk /RUSred.htm   (5205 words)

Gett Kidzpages- Billy Yank Some Union volunteer regiments were raised as zouave regiments and wore a colorful uniform based on a style of uniform worn by French troops in North Africa and the Mediterranean. Union soldiers were usually given sixty to eighty rounds of ammunition to carry when they were on a campaign. By the time of the Battle of Gettysburg, the average age of a Union soldier in the rank and file was 24 though there were also quite a number of older soldiers, including many in their mid-forties. www.nps.gov /gett/gettkidz/yank.htm   (1873 words)

James Birdseye McPherson, Major General, Union Commander, Army of Tennessee Thomas with his Army of the Cumberland and Schofield with his Army of the Ohio were to advance to Dalton and McPherson was to proceed to Resaca via Snake Creek Gap. In December 1862, the Army of the Tennessee was divided into five corps; 13th Corps under McClernand, 14th Corps under Thomas, the 15th Corps under Sherman, the 16th Corps under Hurlburt, and the 17th Corps was to be commanded by McPherson. Local residents referred to the northern third of the state as "Cherokee Georgia" for thirty years prior to the war, the Cherokees were the primary residents of the area. ngeorgia.com /people/mcpherson.html   (1685 words)

General Ulysses S. Grant The Union Army's greatest general who led his troops to victory in the American Civil War. Grant assigned the Army of the Potomac to engage the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, commanded by General Robert E. Lee.

Union Soldier In The Civil War His counter-part in the Confederate Army was likewise known as "Johnny Reb." However, unlike his counter-part in the Confederate Army, Union soldiers were a more diversified group. I interviewed some twentieth century army veterans from World War II and the Korean conflict, and the majority of them said that the food wasn't outstanding, but that it was never "bad" as was the case many times during the Civil War. The most bountiful of all food, and probably the mainstay diet of both armies was hard bread, or commonly referred to as "hardtack." This was the easiest for the infantryman to carry when on the march. www.cwc.lsu.edu /other/other/acw_inf.htm   (7808 words)

UAV - Who We Are Almost 2,000 Texans agreed with Sam Houston, leaving the state and joining the Union Army at the outbreak of hostilities. And, for the Union side, the Union Army Veterans (the "UAV") preserves our American heritage through the recreation of civil war history. As "living historians", UAV members portray the Federal infantry soldiers of the United States Army and often portray soldiers who were guarding the frontier in Texas, prior to the war. www.unionarmyveterans.org /whoweare.html   (640 words)

Politics in the Union Army at the Battle for Chattanooga Apparently the informal truce established between the two sides shortly after the Union army dug in at Chattanooga extended further than is commonly supposed. The Army of the Cumberland was reinforced by Hooker from the East and Sherman from further west, and the Army of Tennessee had been reinforced by Longstreet from the East. We had manoeuvered him out of Chattanooga, but had not manoeuvered out entire army into it, and he fell back so sullenly that those of us who followed, keeping him actually in sight, were a good deal more concerned about effecting a junction with the rest of our army than to push the pursuit. americancivilwar.com /authors/bobredmond/article1.htm   (14183 words)

Major General Ambrose Burnside Army of the Potomac Commander Union Army Later, General Burnside rejoined the Union Army in the East as Commander of the 9th Corps. It came to be known as "Burnside's Bridge." This delay in crushing General Lee's right flank allowed the army under General A. Hill to reach the battlefield and prevent a decisive Union victory. Next, General Burnside unsuccessfully attempted to move his army to another crossing point with the infamous "Mud March." President Lincoln was given an ultimatum to replace some Army of the Potomac senior commanders that had been disloyal to General Burnside or to accept his resignation. www.civilwarfamilyhistory.com /new_page_122.htm   (593 words)

Was the Union Army Let a standing army, fully equal to the resources of the country, be formed; and let it be entirely at the devotion of the federal government; still it would not be going too far to say, that the State governments, with the people on their side, would be able to repel the danger. It was rather a union of early history and future promise, of generations past and generations still to come, of agriculture and industry, of plains and seaboard, of the vast hosts of mystical and emotional forces which give to man a greater sense of belonging, a greater sense of community.69 The Union’s creation of martial law in the South can hardly be within the ambit of “establishing justice” or “securing the blessings of liberty.” “Domestic tranquility” was clearly not insured by the bloodiest war ever fought in North America. www.liberty-ca.org /presentations/articles/2003was_secession_legal.htm   (12312 words)

Museum - Office of Cultural & Historical Preservation Over the course of the war, the Union army increased its occupation of most of Florida's coastal forts and towns. With the exception of the Olustee campaign and several small expeditions into the interior, the Union army usually remained near its forts and occupied cities. In addition to fighting at Olustee, both black and white Union army units stationed in different parts of the state fought small battles with southern forces at Gainesville, Marianna, Station Number 4 near Cedar Key, Fort Myers, and Natural Bridge. dhr.dos.state.fl.us /museum/mfh/exhibits/civilwar/16.cfm   (266 words)

Blacks in the Union Army of Tennessee Then the powerful Union army pushed the Confederates from Shiloh into Mississippi and occupied all Tennessee regions by late 1863. Forrest's racially motivated Confederate troops yelled and waved their pro-slavery symbol (the Confederate battle flag) and swore to give "no quarter" to former slaves who joined the Union army. In the spring of 1863, the Union began to recruit and organize black soldiers. www.tnstate.edu /library/digital/BlacKs.htm   (811 words)
