  • Download the Florida Civil War Heritage Trail
    Florida -CjvjlV&r- Heritage Trail .•""•^ ** V fc till -/foMyfa^^Jtwr^— A Florida Heritage Publication Florida . r li //AA Heritage Trail Fought from 1861 to 1865, the American Civil War was the country's bloodiest conflict. Over 3 million Americans fought in it, and more than 600,000 men, 2 percent of the American population, died in it. The war resulted in the abolition of slavery, ended the concept of state secession, and forever changed the nation. One of the 1 1 states to secede from the Union and join the Confederacy, Florida's role in this momentous struggle is often overlooked. While located far from the major theaters of the war, the state experienced considerable military activity. At one Florida battle alone, over 2,800 Confederate and Union soldiers became casualties. The state supplied some 1 5,000 men to the Confederate armies who fought in nearly all of the major battles or the war. Florida became a significant source of supplies for the Confederacy, providing large amounts of beef, pork, fish, sugar, molasses, and salt. Reflecting the divisive nature of the conflict, several thousand white and black Floridians also served in the Union army and navy. The Civil War brought considerable deprivation and tragedy to Florida. Many of her soldiers fought in distant states, and an estimated 5,000 died with many thousands more maimed and wounded. At home, the Union blockade and runaway inflation meant crippling scarcities of common household goods, clothing, and medicine. Although Florida families carried on with determination, significant portions of the populated areas of the state lay in ruins by the end of the war.

They are used to aid the reader to determine allegiance of claimants to Civil War service. For e-book readers they make scrolling easier. Using the Union’s flag here does not make this writer an American patriot, nor does displaying Confederate flags express support for any political group that uses that flag. Usage of Confederate flags by twenty-first century white hate groups, ultra conservatives, and right wing extremists is a false misuse of history. Written Without Prejudice No suggestion of fraud or deceit is made against any individual. Where statements have not been fully verified this is due to a lack of conclusive evidence, conflicting evidence or impossibilities. A Note on language Grammar, spelling or syntax in quotations remain unaltered. The old style of putting a p preceding a page number has been used to avoid confusion with computer numbers. Americanised spellings are used. As two differing dating systems, those of the USA and the British Commonwealth conflict, months rather than their numbers are sometimes used.

  • A Re-Examination of the 19Th Indiana Volunteer Infantry of the Iron Brigade
    AN AVERAGE REGIMENT: A RE-EXAMINATION OF THE 19TH INDIANA VOLUNTEER INFANTRY OF THE IRON BRIGADE Jared Anthony Crocker Submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in the Department of History, Indiana University August 2016 Accepted by the Graduate Faculty, Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Master’s Thesis Committee ____________________________________ Anita Morgan, Ph.D., Chair ____________________________________ Stephen E. Towne, M.A. ____________________________________ Eric L. Saak, Ph.D. ii Acknowledgments The origins of this thesis began in the first few years of the early 2000s when I first read Alan T. Nolan’s The Iron Brigade. At this time, I already had an interest in the Civil War and military history in general. At IUPUI, I had the opportunity to examine one of the regiments of the Iron Brigade, the 19th Indiana Volunteer Infantry Regiment as an undergraduate. This regiment has been referred to as the “pet regiment” of Indiana’s governor, Oliver P. Morton. As a graduate student and a long process of determining a thesis topic, I arrived at conducting a critical examination of the 19th Indiana and the Iron Brigade. A thesis requires a great deal of work to reach its completion. I would like to first thank my advisor Anita Morgan. Over the past five years as an undergraduate and graduate student she has nurtured an appreciation of history that has helped take this thesis from its original idea to its completed form.
