No, non-seq.

No, GOPcapitalist. In the confederate army, as with the Union army, a division was a recognized army organization consisting of three or more brigades, each with three or more regiments. You can call the Winder-Jackson unit whatever you want, but it why not call it what it was, a battalion? Two companies only. Not a regiment, not a brigade, not a division. A battalion.

So now you want it called a battallion. Curious. Your buddy Partisan seemed to object to that term when it was quoted out of the newspapers of the time. As I told him, make up your mind and I'll call it whatever type of unit you desire as that is immaterial to whether or not it existed - the point he disputes.
