“War Of Northern Aggression'' "War For Southern Independence''. (somebody forgot to tell the slaves.) "it wasn't about slavery!'' "It was Northern bankers!'''.
It was interesting seeing you mention a Union Army ancestor.
The book/movie Gangs of New York shows how the Union Army enrolled Irish immigrants right off the boat in order to fill their ranks with imports who would be willing to kill Americans.
The Union Army had a hard time getting actual old line Yankees to do the invading and killing as the war wore on, witness the July 1863 draft riots of NYC. Lincoln had to make do with recent arrivals as well as the communist ‘48ers who had been enthusiastic revolutionaries all along.
