They joined mother’s associations, temperance groups, aboli - tionist societies, and woman suffrage organizations. Although the Civil War did not create activists, it did strengthen them, while opening the door for other women to become activists. The war provided an unprece - dented opportunity for the women of Maine to be actors in the public sphere. Postwar women’s movements in Maine were therefore fueled by their agency on the home front during the war. The author is currently a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Maine, working under the supervi - sion of Dr.

  • The Known Patriots at the Battle of Kings Mountain October 7, 1780
    The Known Patriots at the Battle of Kings Mountain October 7, 1780 Image Courtesy of National Park Planner at www.npplan.com © 2015 – J.D. Lewis www.carolana.com Note #1 Most who study the Battle of Kings Mountain are certainly aware that the Patriot leaders made a smart choice in leaving the “infantry” behind, and for only “able horsemen” to ride on. What they intuitively “know” – but seem to fail to thoroughly “embrace” is: Almost all “officers” had good horses. Therefore…. Many Patriot “Captains” had few men, sometimes no men, under their command during the actual battle at Kings Mountain. Most historians refuse to accept that at this important event, there were almost more Patriot officers engaged than militiamen, and that this is significant. Majors led as few as two (2) Captains, and many who had no men, or only one to five. It was rare, but some Captains did have more than ten men. Few had their original companies at full strength. It will soon be shown that the companies averaged only 5 men. 2 Note #2 Although the British seized Charlestown and many officers, and they once again devastated both the SC and NC militia at the Battle of Camden, the Patriots constantly kept rebuilding their militia in both states, and they retained their “semblance of order” by continuing the well-known “regiments” and recognized the leaders of all established militia units. Leaders of these well-established and well-known militia regiments agreed to “work with each other” for the common good of all. Ever since the start of the war, Captains attached themselves to other regiments when it was convenient.

  • "Civil War Soldiers Recall Visiting Taneytown" Carroll County Times
    "Civil War Soldiers Recall Visiting Taneytown" Carroll County Times article for 17 August 1997 By Jay A. Graybeal During the Gettysburg Campaign, thousands of Union soldiers passed through Taneytown to and from the battle. Maj. Gen. George G. Meade arrived early on the morning of June 29th and established his field headquarters on the Benjamin Shunk farm near town. While there, he developed his Pipe Creek Line plan and began placing troops from Middleburg to Manchester. The III Corps commanded by Gen. Daniel E. Sickles arrived in Taneytown on 30 June 1863 and Gen. Winfield S. Hancock's II Corps passed through town on the following afternoon. Some of these soldiers later recalled their experiences in Taneytown on the eve of the battle and the following writings from published regimental histories provide an additional perspective on local life during the campaign. Gilbert A. Hays included a brief description his unit's visit in his history of the 63rd Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry: On the 29th our march was continued through Walkersville, Woodbury, Middlebury and Taneytown, and our reception in the various places as extremely enthusiastic. Ladies and young girls distributed beautiful bouquets to the officers and soldiers; groups of fair damsels bewitchingly posted in conspicuous places sang patriotic airs as the "boys in blue" passed by and the passage of troops being a novelty here, the citizens turned out en masse. Long after tattoo, groups of ladies and gentlemen promenaded through our camps, actuated by a curiosity to see how soldiers really lived in the tented field. A fellow Pennsylvanian, Frank Rauscher of the 114th Volunteer Infantry (Collis' Zouaves) recorded in his diary, June 29.-We broke camp at 6 a.m.

  • “Sharpshooters Made a Grand Record This Day” Combat on the Skirmish Line at Gettysburg on July 3
    “Sharpshooters Made a Grand Record This Day” Combat on the Skirmish Line at Gettysburg on July 3 Timothy J. Orr On the morning of July 3, 1863, Corporal Eugene B. Kelleran, a soldier in Company I, 20th Maine Infantry, descended the slopes of Big Round Top, a rocky eminence where his regiment had spent the previous evening. Near dark on July 2, the fatigued Maine regiment scaled the wooded heights, drove off an enemy brigade, and took possession of the summit. As per standard procedure, the 20th Maine’s commander, Colonel Joshua Chamberlain, deployed skirmishers to determine the layout of the Confederate line and to make certain that his regiment truly held the hill. Midway down the southwestern slope, Kelleran and his comrades collided with skirmishers from Colonel James Sheffield’s Alabama brigade. A short fight ensued, lasting only a few minutes. The Maine regiment lost Lieutenant Arad Linscott, who had seized an abandoned musket so he could get a shot at the gray-coats himself. A ball struck Linscott in the thigh, and he died several hours later at the Jacob Weikert farm.1 During this engagement, a Confederate skirmisher kneeling behind a rock took aim at Corporal Kelleran, who also lowered his own rifle and fired. Kelleran got off his shot, which passed through the Alabamian’s mouth and came out the back of his head. When the shooting subsided, Kelleran went to the blood-spattered boulder and noticed that the man’s hat had been left untouched by both the bullet and the resulting gore. Kelleran had long wanted a new hat, so he took this one from his fallen adversary.

  • Joint Services Program
    April 17, 2010 | Reno, Nevada Military Travel Teams Do It Again have been honored to serve as the IFSEA military chairman this year. During my first year in this position, I was rewarded with the Iopportunity to participate in the evaluator training and assist in the coordination of this great program. The success of this year was noth- ing less than a job well done by IFSEA travelers and their military part- ners. The travel teams went on their evaluations well equipped, thanks in part by the training provided by the joint services and their many years of experience in the food industry. The opportunity to recognize our young men and women who are serving our troops daily with palate pleasing and nutritious meals is of utmost importance. I am extremely pleased with the preparation that the travelers received before embarking on this rewarding and challenging program. Our trav- elers in some cases had to finish one evaluation and then move quickly to the next. Long hours of work made the inspections intense but always successful and fun. I have received numerous reports from our travelers indicating they were ready to go again. Also, I found something else in common in most of the travelers’ reports. That was the dedication shown by our young military men and women as they prepared and worked diligently to provide good and nutritious meals every day for the troops. Most of our travelers are experienced because of previous assignments, but that did not diminish the enthusiasm for each inspection. Our newest member found success as well, and came away with a height- ened understanding of how this program helps our enlisted men and women.

  • The Isolation Factor: Differing Loyalties in the Mountain Counties of Watauga and Buncombe During the Civil War
    1 THE ISOLATION FACTOR: DIFFERING LOYALTIES IN THE MOUNTAIN COUNTIES OF WATAUGA AND BUNCOMBE DURING THE CIVIL WAR By Kevin Oshnock 2 William J. Brown, a man who lived on the fringes of Buncombe County near the Madison County line, commented that “the once happy & prosperous, but now broken Union” was to be dissolved and that “they tore up the flag of the US & made a new one with seven stars.” He continued by saying they “dropt the glorious old Eagle. It makes the heart sad to see & dwell on it.”1 In Appalachian North Carolina, there existed a great diversity of ideas on the issue of secession at the start of the Civil War. In Watauga and Buncombe counties, the isolation factor was evident. The higher the elevation at which people lived, the more likely they were to be Unionists, and the enlistment patterns for both Union and Confederate soldiers show this trend. Buncombe and Watauga counties experienced the war quite differently, and examining enlistment patterns in the Confederate and Union armies helps to illustrate those differences. Buncombe County was one of the lower elevated and flatter counties in the North Carolina mountains and had the most links to the slave economy. Watauga County, at a much higher elevation, had the fewest slaves and lowest population in the state in 1860. It had only 31 slave owners and 104 slaves while Buncombe County had 1,923.2 There was a great amount of diversity within the region with people living in the broad river valleys generally being more prosperous and more connected to the Deep South than those living farther up the more isolated hollows and ridges.

Honors Scholar Theses. 468. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/srhonors_theses/468 “$300 or Your Life”: Recruitment and the Draft in the Civil War By Melissa Traub 1 One of the most challenging tasks of a nation at war is turning its average citizens into soldiers capable of winning a war. While volunteers flooded to the war front in thousands in the beginning of the Civil War, recruitment in both the North and South slowly dwindled as the war dragged on. Eventually, the North was forced to pass the Enrollment Act of 1863, the first national draft in United States history. Every able bodied man between the ages of twenty and forty-five was subject to the draft.1 For an already unstable nation, the national draft did little to heal the divides that split the country. The policies of substitution and commutation led to great resentment, eventually sparking the New York City Draft Riots of 1863. While the public outrage and the politics of the draft have been thoroughly examined, little has ever been studied about the reactions and sentiments of the already enlisted Union soldiers who were out on the battlefront.
