Looking for States for each state, recruits, production etc

[Bilbobaggins]

Hi all, Does anyone know where I can find reliable numbers on how many soldiers from each state fought, or what each state's production was, such as cannons, guns, etc

Thank you.

I do know California had exactly 100 people fight for the Union near Harper's Ferry with their own eguipment and Henry rifles. They were known in the Harpers Ferry area as the California 100.

Thank you.

You think this...

Abraham Lincoln, suggesting his motives were complex and that he played a significant role in transforming the U.S. into a "crony capitalist central

The book posits that Northern motivations were driven by greed and malice.

I would point to Grant's time as a rise in crony capitalism, but maybe even later... Greed or Malice did not drive the North until the South fired the first shot; many in the North favored the South, leaving... The Southern Oligarchy was driven by greed; all secession movements are driven by greed, and they had malice towards enslaved peoples...

I agree to some extent, but I am not sure this is the correct thread!

Would you enjoy a dialogue on these issues? I know of a place or two that we could engage in a conversation. We could also do one topic at a time.

It does seem the Cannons are coming out of the Allegheny Arsenal in Pittsburgh. General David Emanuel Twiggs of Texas ordered all the cannons Allegheny Arsenal had under a guy named Major Amos Myers. They were all lined up on train flatcars outside the Arsenal in Lawrenceville PA ready to go. That caused a riot in Pittsburgh. The issue with experts is Texas used Pittsburgh Standard Track which did not exist in Pittsburgh. I say Pittsburgh Standard track went from Dallas Texas right to the Allegheny Arsenal in Pittsburgh.

No railroad line connected Texas to the other states until like until the 1870s

That is what they say. Of course most historians never heard of Pittsburgh Standard Track or Andrew Carnegie. Besides Carnegie is one of the most common names in Pittsburgh. Another common name in Pittsburgh is Mellon although most historians say Lewis and Clark are the most common names in Pittsburgh. Even Twiggs and Myers are common names in Pittsburgh and Texas. There was another Pittsburgh Standard Track connecting Twiggs County Georgia to the O'Hara Plantation in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh's own movie director David O Selznick wrote a story about it called Gone With the Wind. It's more or less about the Butler Fair Grounds people.

director David O Selznick wrote a story about it called Gone With the Wind.

Throughout the late 1920s and early 1930s Margaret Mitchell, an Atlanta newspaperwoman, was writing a Civil War epic that she assumed no one would ever read. It had "precious little obscenity in it," she later told one correspondent, "no adultery and not a single degenerate, and I couldn't imagine a publisher being silly enough to buy it." Macmillan acquired the novel, however, and months before its publication, in 1936, the work was under consideration all over Hollywood. Opinion at Selznick International Pictures was divided: the story editor on the West Coast called the book "ponderous trash"; the story editor on the East Coast called it "absolutely magnificent." In the event, David O. Selznick bought Gone With the Wind for $50,000. The book, a commercial and cultural phenomenon, sold a million copies during its first month in print. The motion picture, which opened sixty years ago this month, remains a testament to the Technicolor glory of the Hollywood studio system.

You know each state did audits after the war to get an accounting of the war, the cost. There are books from the 19th century with the audit results from each state just search Google books...

While the concept of modern "performance audits" did not exist during or immediately after the U.S. Civil War, states did conduct post-war reviews and established boards to handle claims and record-keeping, which can be considered a form of accounting or auditing in a historical context.
Specific examples of states and their related activities include:

New York established a State Auditing Board (also referred to as a Board of Commissioners) to examine and audit claims against the state for expenses incurred in supporting volunteers during the Civil War. These records contain details of each claim presented, the amount requested, and the board's final disposition.

Adjutant General Reports: Many Union states' Adjutant General reports from the years following the war contained detailed information on individual soldiers' outcomes (death, discharge dates, etc.), supply listings, and troop registries. Missouri's reports, for example, included "Historical Memoranda" that detailed the activities, assignments, battles, and casualties of specific regiments, serving as a comprehensive record of their performance.

The most well recorded are the California 100 at Middleway.

California units did fight in the Eastern Theater, like the famous "California 100" that was actually the 100th Ohio Infantry and fought in battles like Winchester and Cedar Creek.

The California 100 was to get John S Mosby. My daughter lives on Mosby High Way which goes into Winchester. My grandson goes to the Chief Powhatan School. You know, Stuart stuff.

Captain John Morgan and Bacon Creek Bridge

During the winter of 1861-1862, the Union and Confederate western armies developed a sort of stalemate within Kentucky. With the Green River being a natural barrier between the two, both sides conducted numerous cavalry operations along the river and the nearby bridges and crossings. In December...
