what is the youngest age that someone can be to enlist in the U.S army?
The Southern army was not as organized as the North. The North had special stations where people could enlist. They also had a set age that you had to be to enlist in the army (without much effect). The South was much less organized. In the South as long as you could hold a rifle you could join the army. There were no booths where you could enlist. To enlist all you had to do is go to a military camp or base of operations and tell them you wanted to fight. Then they would hand you a rifle and some gear and you were off to battle.
They wanted a large army and a army good for war so the young were fresh and would last longer in the army.
Not in the army, but as a nurse.
