Loudoun Rangers (USA)

"The command was mustered into the Federal service at Lovettsville on the
20th day of June, 1862 . . . When both companies of the Rangers were
camped at Keyes Switch on the B&O Railroad just west of Harpers Ferry on
April 6, 1865, few expected any threatening activity from the
all-but-beaten Confederate Army. Military discipline, accordingly, was at
low ebb. The Rangers were relaxing in camp when a force of 250 horsemen
approached from the northwest on the Charlestown Pike. Since they wore
blue uniforms, no one took undue notice.  Mosby's troops, thus
undetected, captured . . . some 81 horses and 65 men."

"The War Between the States was truly a civil war in every sense of the
word. Although the popular image is of North  fighting South, it is also
true that Northerners in significant numbers supported the South, and
Southerners in significant numbers fought for the North. Eighty-five
[White] Union army regiments were recruited in the Confederate States: 51
from Tennessee; 10 each from Arkansas and Louisiana; 4 from North
Carolina and Texas; 2 from Florida; and 1 each from Alabama, Arkansas,
Georgia, Mississippi, and Virginia. While many of these Southern
Unionists confined their service to within their native states, many
others took active roles in fighting against the Southern Confederacy.
Alabama and Tennessee Union regiments fought under Sherman in the Atlanta
campaign and joined him for his March to the Sea. At least two Tennessee
regiments fought at Fort Fisher, occupied Wilmington, fought at
Averasboro and Bentonville, occupied Raleigh, and were present at
Johnston's surrender at Bennett Place . . ."
