Here's more on the disproportionate rate of Southerners fighting and dying to save yer bacon (and yet you deny them that):

N-S is The Damnyankee Minister of Propaganda.
according to N-S, everything done by damnyankees is PERFECT & everything ever done by any southerner was/is flawed.
it's called telling LIES. that is the JOB of a PROPAGANDIST.

shhhh....don't given him the bighead..
That Motor City tattoo rocks.
I'm not the tatooting type, but if I were, the Mississippi motto ("Virtute et Armis" or "Virtue and Arms") would a tempting choice. I think it would look especially good over a picture of some criss-crossed small arms.
At the very least, such a tattoo would ratchet up the fear factor in any liberal who saw it.
Where would I get it? Well, the ARM of course!

Here's a link to information about the Massachusetts militia: Link
So it seems both states did mobilize their militia for the war effort. Did they serve outside of the state? I don't know. I doubt it since there was almost no land action outside of the abortive invasion of Canada from Detroit and the campaign around Washington in 1814. I know that the New England militia didn't participate in that campaign, but neither did militia from South Carolina, Virginia, North Carolina, or Georgia. The U.S. Navy and privateers operated from New England ports, I do know that.
The war was unpopular with the New England states, but to call them sympathetic with the British might be a bit strong. The U.S. Navy and a large number of privateers operated openly out of New York and Boston and Newport.
Well, maybe not British-sympathetic, but they were seriously considering secession, with one of the options being rejoining Britain. If the War of 1812 hadn't ended when it did, they may have tried.
No..I would not. The fact that I am loyal to my state, doesn't mean I have to agree with everything they do.
Your example isn't a very good one.
Sure..that is true. But our Confederate Armies were starving, suffering with no medicines, lacking in men,arms, etc. and we STILL held off the Union Army till 1865, who had overwhelming supplies of all the same. Yes, we surrendered, but we weren't whipped. Big difference.
