After war 1865 did many confederate soldiers join other armies in different countries?

2 I think they just went home and tried to rebuild their lives and families.

3 This afternoon I just ordered some movies from amazon. Com and one of them was on this subject (forgot the title of it) and I hadn't heard of it before now, so was curious. I think it's in the "Gary Cooper Collection" that's going to be sent.

4 This was kind of interesting to read in Wikipedia about the various nationalities who joined the war. I didn't realize there were so many diverse groups:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_ArmyThe Union Army was composed of many different ethnic groups, including large numbers of immigrants. About 25% of the white people who served in the Union Army were foreign-born.5Breakdown of the approximately 2.2 million Union soldiers:1 million (45.4% of all Union soldiers) native-born Americans of British ancestry.516,000 (23.4%) Germans; about 216,000 were born in Germany.210,000 (9.5%) African American.

Half were freedmen who lived in the North, and half were ex-slaves or escaped slaves from the South. They served in more than 160 "colored" regiments. One such regiment, the 54th Massachusetts, is dramaticized in the film Glory.

Others served under white officers in Federal regiments organized as the United States Colored Troops (USCT).6 200,000 (9.1%) Irish.90,000 (4.1%) Dutch. 50,000 (2.3%) Canadian.50,000 (2.3%) born in England.40,000 (1.8%) French or French Canadian. About half were born in America, the other half in Quebec.20,000 (0.9%) Scandinavian (Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish).7,000 Italian 7,000 Jewish 6,000 Mexican 5,000 Polish (many of whom served in the Polish Legion of Brig.Gen.

Many immigrant soldiers formed their own regiments, such as the Irish Brigade (69th New York, 63rd New York, 88th New York, 28th Massachusetts, 116th Pennsylvania); the Swiss Rifles (15th Missouri); the Gardes Lafayette (55th New York); the Garibaldi Guard (39th New York); the Martinez Militia (1st New Mexico); the Polish Legion (58th New York); the German Rangers (52nd New York); the ghlander Regiment (79th New York); and the Scandinavian Regiment (15th Wisconsin). But for the most part, the foreign-born soldiers were scattered as individuals throughout units. For comparison, the Confederate Army was not very diverse: 91% of Confederate soldiers were native born and only 9% were foreign-born, Irish being the largest group with others including Germans, French, Mexicans, and British.

Some Southern propaganda compared foreign-born soldiers in the Union Army to the hated Hessians of the American Revolution.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
