Was there a union soldier that had the last name McNevin?
If it is the correct World War 2 I am thinking of [the world war that was between the USA and Germany], then here are some pople I know. - Bill Guarnere - Buck Compton - Dick Winters (not funny for anyone who laughs) - Joe Toye - Donald Powers - Lewis Nixon - (Lastname) Perconte - (Lastname) Lipton - (Lastname) O'keefe - (Lastname) Randleman - (Lastname) Malarkey - (Lastname) Webster - (Lastname) Jones - (Lastname) Liebgott Those are the only people I can think of from the top of my head. I am so sorry for any misspelling of names or completely incorrect names. I hope this answers your question. :) Thank you for asking.

This question does not make any sense, but the Union soldiers won the war. This freed slaves all over America.
It is estimated that 112,260 Confederate and 75,000 Union soldiers were killed in action or died of their wounds in the Civil War. Many more died in prison.

Varina Davis was in a wagon escaping the South. Jefferson Davis was not with his wife he was in a safe location commanding the Confederacy. When he learned that his wife left their home to get away from the approaching Union soldiers. He left his position of safety and went to find her. He found his wife shortly before the Union soldiers. The Union soldiers captured Jefferson Davis and took everything of value they could find. Jefferson Davis spent the next two years in prison at Fort Monroe. When the Union could not find any evidence of complicity in the Lincoln assassination, he was released on bail.
The movie Glory depicts Black Union infantry during the Civil war. The name "Buffalo Soldiers" was given to Black Cavalry by the Native Americans against whom they fought during the "Indian Wars" of the 1870s.Therefore Glory is not any sort of depiction of Buffalo Soldiers.
The ages varied greatly in the Civil War. There wasn't a law saying how old you had to be to fight. But most soldiers were just teenagers! Often there jobs were to be drummers, the job of the drummers were important, because they told when to retreat or change a battle plan. They did this because there wasn't any technology for soldiers to communicate easily.
At any point in time during the 4 year US Civil War, approximately 900,000 men were enlisted in the Confederate military. This is in sharp contrast to the Union, where they had in total, almost 2 million men in Union uniforms.
1. It gave the Union soldiers a moral reason to fight. As a result, there were more passionate Union soldiers, and an overall stronger army, such an idea was doubtful. In fact General in Chief Henry Wager Halleck appointed a special internal figure, Charles Halpine to quiet the protests of white Union soldiers on even the idea of having Fee Blacks in their ranks. There is no evidence that Union soldiers were at war with the risk of making their wives windows or their children fatherless. 2. It gave the African Americans in the Union freedom to join the army. In the Civil War about 200,000 African Americans fought, and 40,000 gave their lives to the cause.
There were likely hundreds of letters sent from soldiers to their friends and family. There are several famous letters, including a letter from a Jewish soldier to his mother.
After the Union navy had forced the surrender of the South's largest city, New Orleans, Butler was appointed to run the city and keep law and order. Naturally the Union soldiers were in an uncomfortable position and the populace tried to take advantage of the occupying force. This was a new role for the US Army, especially since a few years earlier the city was part of the US and played an important role in the US's economy. Butler's soldiers were harassed by the ladies of the cities. This was not just because they hated "Yankees". The soldiers often looted the city at various times. Protesting women were to handled by Order No. 28. The order called for any woman showing contempt for Union soldiers to treated by the soldiers as if they were "illegal" prostitutes. This even brought criticism from the North. He was removed from New Orleans and served in the Union's Department of Virginia and North Carolina.
