What types of men fought in the civil war?

All types. Old and young. In fact, boys could enlist. Many boys would lie about their age while others entered as drummer and fife players which were needed to 'play' out battle commands. The youngest drummer was 8 years old. Black men also fought in the Civil War and the most famous group was the 54th Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry. Other companies of troops included Irish and Scottish brigades. Many older men enlisted because they felt the need to protect their home. Not just men fought in the Civil War. There were several recorded instances of women fighting- most of which enlisted as 'men' and kept their identity secret.
