I have a friend who's in the SCV, I'll email him and see if he has any info.
There was no "enemy" in the Civil War, sir. They were all Americans, including my Scottish ancestors, who served their nation in Iowa and Illinois Regiments. They were not "mercs", but soldiers. Brave ones, the same as the men they faced on the other side of the deadly ground.
United in courage, united in death...they are simply Americans.
