Confederate Memorial

[L. Ramsay]

Actually the events of Missouri were much worse. Many Missourians were Constitutional Unionists, and attempted to remain neutral, as did Kentucky.

I don't have an exact figure at hand, but all of the border states produced more regiments for the Union than the Confederacy. In Missouri, over 100,000 volunteered for Federal units, while only 40,000 joined the Confederate forces and the pro-Southern Missouri State Guard, which was not a unit of the CSA.

There is a relatively new book out that I haven't read yet on this very topic:

If I ever find myself with the time required for reading a new book, I'll keep that one in mind. Thanks.

A house divided for sure, even within families after all these years.

But it IS a beautiful tartan. Don't know that many folks would have a clue what the tartan represented, even in the South, unless you combined it with era attire.
