Almost all the men in both armies were farmers, from small family farms around a small county seat town, who had never been anywhere in their lives besides to that county seat town maybe three or four times a year. There were a few more city boys in the northern army. But even forty years after the war, in 1900, 90% of the US population was still rural.
