What is the mutiny of the second Maine?
As I recall, the 2nd Maine Regiment had suffered many casualties, so the decision was made to absorb them into the 20th Maine Regiment. The men of the 2nd Maine felt betrayed because they had only signed up to fight for 1 year and now they were being asked to serve longer and with another group of men. So, they threatened to refuse to fight.This may not be totally accurate as some of this comes from the movie "Gettysburg", as the 20th Maine was the regiment lead by Col. Chamberlain and gallantly defended Little Round Top.Google those facts and see if it is accurate.I was correct!By the summer of 1863, Chamberlain had been promoted to colonel and marched the 20th Maine northward in pursuit of Lee. On July 1, the Fifth Corps marched to Hanover, Pennsylvania before turning west toward Gettysburg. An overnight forced march got the troops to a location in rear of Cemetery Ridge the next day and Chamberlain's men took a brief but grateful rest. It was here that Chamberlain faced the distasteful duty of addressing "mutinous" soldiers assigned to the 20th Infantry from the old 2nd Maine, which had been mustered out. A group of men whose enlistments had not expired refused to carry arms and were placed under arrest. Chamberlain's brief speech and his pledge to plead their case caused all but a handful to take arms and join the ranks of the 20th for the coming battle.Link Reference: http://www.nps.gov/archive/gett/getttour/sidebar/chambln.htm

Why was the second Maine added to the 20th Maine before the Battle of Gettysburg?
Early in the war, many units enlisted men for a period of service of only 1 year or even less. No one expected the war to last any longer than that. So, by 1862, many of these 1-year regiments began to expire. These units were basically disbanded and many of the soldiers joined other newer units. While doing recent research, I came across the 2nd Tennessee Cavalry (CSA) which disbanded and reformed as the 20th Tennesssee Cavalry, I believe. I suspect this was the fate of the 2nd Maine Regiment. Different Answer Actually, the 2nd Maine was a 2 year regiment. The 120 2nd Maine men who Col. Joshua Chamberlain was able to convince to stay and fight with the 20th had accidentally signed 3 year conscription papers, and so they were handed over to the nearest Maine regiment, which happened to be the 20th. The addition of these men to the 20th probably saved the battle of Gettysburg because without their rifles on the line, Little Round Top would have fallen to the Confederates.
