About this item

By the time this report was published, the first blood had been shed in the Civil War (1861-1865). Totals of the men enrolled in the militia of the northern states are given here. Militias were comprised of volunteer soldiers. Although they did offer a ready force of men, militiamen were not always well-equipped or trained. The needs of the war would soon require  more men and President Abraham Lincoln resorted to conscription and other methods to raise an army.
