I have at least one ancestor who fought in Custer’s Michigan cavalry (and died with him later at Little Big Horn). I also have ancestors who faught for the South. My great x 5 grandpa owned a plantation in Virginia, but ended up freeing all his slaves becaue he didn’t believe much in slavery. He had 7 sons. When the war came, the five older ones went to war and were killed. The 2 younger ones were sent to live with a relative in another state away from the fighting. When the war was over, the two boys came back and found their house burned to the ground and their parents dead.
