@JMAZZ80 A civil war today would kill ten times that number of people. 30 million+ at the very least.

@travhank1 It is true that the South, then the North - eventually started drafting soldiers, including those Irish immigrant who did not want to join ... but generally speaking, the story of Irish participation in the war is focused on the Irish Volunteer.
-
@travhank1 Fresh immigrants from Ireland, joined the ranks of BOTH armies, North & South in large numbers. They were Volunteers! In the early days of the war, Irish immigrants were among the most willing to participate, and both Yankee and Rebel forces had whole regiments of Irishmen fighting.

@Otacon144 Or maybe he's just another Yank plastic paddy who aspires to be Irish but doesn't understand the accent so puts the words up to try to make himself look Irish.
Just a thought like

The Irish immigrants were used, forced into conscripts for the Federals, mere cannon fodder for a cause they knew little or cared little.

@AndrewzDescent
600,000 men in the 1860's ins comparable to 3,000,000-4,000,000, going by the population of the United States today. That number is astounding. The war devastated the entire male population of some towns.

This was probably the most stupid war which our Irish compatriots took part in as they were frowned upon by the both sides of the conflict and their homeland was occupied by the English with tens of thousands of Irish families dying of famine and mistreatment by the English occupiers.
