Where can I find the numbers or conferate troops from each state in the civil war?

Question

Particularly numbers for Louisiana and Arkansas.

Answer 1

You really can't. Regiments were supposed to be 1000 troops plus officers, but due mostly to disease, as people from isolated counties came together, they rarely went into battle with more than 800. Since governors got to appoint colonels in the Union, so creation of new regiments was politically more advantageous than reinforcing old ones, some northern regiments dwindled to nearly nothing. The mostly NY Irish Brigade, with five regiments, went into action at Gettysburg with scarcely 500 men in its ranks, and came out with many fewer.

In the South, regiments were reinforced, which presents an entirely different counting problem, as it is impossible to discern with accuracy how many troops were fed into existing regiments.

Louisiana is particularly interesting, as it had (as did Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri and Maryland) regiments on both sides. In the LA case, the Union outfits were colored regiments, recruited after New Orleans fell in 1862, and Federal troops spread up to Baton Rouge and beyond. The 10th and 11th Louisiana (Federal), composed of former slaves and freedmen, were prominent in the bloody assault on Port Hudson -- in 1863 the only Mississippi strongpoint aside from Vicksburg still in Confederate hands.

Possibly the most interesting LA unit was the Louisiana Tigers, recruited in NO, originally outfitted as zouaves, with striped blossomed trousers. But as to counting, despite surving muster lists, nobody knows for sure.
