We faced many of those Irish mercenaries in the War of Northern Aggresion,

the ranks of the invaders were filled with many foreigners, from many lands,

while we were true born Americans.

The South had Irish regiments too. My own people were Scots-Irish and fought in the 1st and 10th Tennessee.

There were Irish, Canadians, French and other foreign born who fought on the side of the south, as well as the north.

Whoops, I guess that doesn't fit in with revisionist history.

Sorry friend, but the Irish fought on both sides of the war. Savannah, Ga. had a huge Irish influx, possibly third in the country after NY and Boston.

Plenty of Irish fought for the Rebs too.

Most of the new immigrants were drafted into the WBTS. That is why there were the draft riots in New York.

Oh, you mean the Native types, eh? :)

Not those guys from Great Britain...

[The Red Zone]

So how does the Rebel Yell go?

[Little Bill]

You Rebs had a lot of Irish Mercenaries on your side as well including a lot of my mothers family.
