yeah, yeah, i thought you lived in KY now, cause Indiana, I thought was in the Union!!
Indiana was one of the earliest states in the Union to respond to Abraham Lincoln’s initial call for 75,000 volunteers to put down the rebellion. Indiana’s initial quota was for 7,500 volunteers. The quota was quickly met and many thousands of potential volunteers were turned away to return to their homes disappointed. The naïve assumption that the rebellion would be quickly ended, turned into a national nightmare of four years duration. Before the conflict ended, Indiana would be called upon to tender 208,367 men for service in the military.
