Union forces had more manpower. The states loyal to the Union had a population of 22,000,000 compared to the 9,000,000 of the south. TheNorthern enlistments ran 1,556,000 to 1,082,000. A large stream of European immigrants poured in the Northern ports. The flow of people totaled 800,000 newcomers of both sexes from 1861-1865. The bulk were British, Irish, and Germans. One-fifth of the Union forces were foreign born. In one division commands were given in four languages. In looking at the Immigration numbers from 1860-1866 the Irish made up the largest group, then the Germans, and finally the English.
