During the
American Civil War, nearly 320,000 Ohioans served in the
Union Army, more than any other
Northern state except
New York and
Pennsylvania.[1] Of these, 5,092 were free blacks. Ohio had the highest percentage of population enlisted in the military of any state. Sixty percent of all the men between the ages of 18 and 45 were in the service. Ohio mustered 230
regiments of
infantry and
cavalry, as well as 25 light
artillery batteries and 5 independent companies of
sharpshooters. Total casualties among these units numbered 35,475 men, more than 10% of all the Buckeyes in uniform during the war. There were 6,835 men killed in action, including 402 officers.[2]
