"Louisiana" Native Guards on the side of the Union/Federals/North? Gee, I didn't know that. Actually you will find a 1st Alabama Cavalry (USA) and a 1st Alabama Cavarly (CSA).
Many states supplied troops to both sides of the war.
Hence the name "War of Brother Against Brother"

OH! Thanks for that info. I must've slept through American History classes. I'm so thankful for our Foxhole and to be able to learn from SAMWolf and all the other FReepers who post here.
