Indiana Historical Society Indiana Civil War Visual Collection Page 1 HISTORICAL SKETCH The Civil War began on 12 April 1861 when Confederate forces fired on the Union garrison at Fort Sumter, South Carolina. President Lincoln called for volunteers on the 15th of April and the next day Indiana’s Governor Morton responded when he issued his call for Indiana volunteers to defend the nation. In all, over 208,000 men from Indiana served during the war. They made up 141 regiments of infantry, 16 regiments of cavalry, and 26 batteries of artillery. The Indiana troops fought in seventeen states with most of the troops serving in the western theater of operations. By the end of the war in April 1865 more than 24,000 Indiana soldiers had been killed or were dead from disease. Sources: Bodenhamer, David G. Encyclopedia of Indianapolis.
