Try being a person in a Civil War Reactivated unit. Was in the 19th Indiana Volunteers Company F part of the 1st Brigade, 1st Division 1st Army Corps Army of the Potomac aka part of " The Iron Brigade " which consisted of the 2nd - 6th - 7th Wisconsin Volunteers the 19th Indiana Volunteers and the 24th Michigan Volunteers.

We fought to preserve the Union and we were according to our beliefs were in the right to do so.

Enlisted at the age of 18 and fought from 1862 through the end of the war when I returned home to Indiana.

Carried a .58 caliber Remington Zouave Rifled Musket towards the end of the war which shot a .58 Minnie Ball behind 60 grains of black power.

Barbara, none of your business, Charleston, S.C.

It certainly settled the two most devisive questions in our history...Slavery and States Rights

Importants battles? Battle of Sharpsburg 1862.....Allowed Lincoln to issue the Proclamation of Emancipation and ended all hope for any country in Europe to recognize and help the Confederacy.

Battle of Gettysburg 1863.....Ended all hope for a Confederate military victory over the Union.

Battle of Atlanta 1864.... Ended the hope that war weariness would influence the November elections and elect someone other than Lincoln who might be willing to settle for an armistice with the Confederacy to stop the killing. But Union victory gave the voters a re-newed sence of purpose and thwey rejected any course but victory.

You can be someone like my great-great-grandfather. He was born on December 25, 1835, and was a bricklayer in Brooklyn, NY. He was very pro-Union and anti-slavery. Even though he weas married and had children, he joined the Army in August 1861, a few months the war broke out. My great-great-grandfather worked his way up to sergeant of Company A of the 78th New York Infantry. At the Battle of Antietam on September 17, 1862, he was seriously injured, and lost one eye and part of his jaw. He was sent to a military hospital on Staten Island, NY. His two brothers, also in the army, but in other units, were discharged to go home. My great-great-grandfather recovered enough to continue life as a bricklayer, but his health was never the same. He died in Brooklyn in 1892 at the age of 55.
Or - if you prefer a woman - you can be like his mother, Catherine. She was born on Staten Island on Sept. 15, 1815. She married a dress merchant in 1835 and had 8 children. Three of her sons fought in the war, one (my great-great-grandfather) lost his eye and part of his jaw, another had a wounded leg that required him to walk with a cane the rest of his life. When her injured son was in the military hospital on Staten Island she moved nearby to look after him. She was proud of her sons' service. She lived a very long life, and died in Brooklyn at the age of 98 in October 1913.
