Fighting to Fit In: The Irish Struggle to Be One with the Union

Lincoln & the Union; Davis & the Confederacy

 Support of the Union  The “Irish Brigade” was part of the Union Army. It was led by commander Brig. Gen. Thomas Francis Meagher.  The Brigade fought in the first significant, military engagement of the Civil War: the Battle of Bull Run  Notable Local: Colonel Patrick Guiney led the 9 th Massachusetts Regiment  The Massachusetts 28 th Regiment was also part of the Irish Brigade. The 69 th New York State militia (“Irish Brigade”) fights for the ostensibly defeated Unionists

 Despite the fighting of Irish-Americans in the Civil War, many returned the post-war America facing the same anti- Catholicism that was so prevalent antebellum.  The Irish-Americans were the most politically involved of all the immigrant groups.  Irish-American soldiers were able to understand and take action against the same “injustices” as American born soldiers.  How did Irish-Americans share the Unionist soldiers’ sense of nationalism?

The Irish Brigade at the battle of Antietam (flying their flag alongside the American flag!)

 “In the beginning of the [Civil War], many Irish favored the South as they saw the North attempting to act much as the English had in their native land of Ireland. However, when Britain began considering support of the Confederacy, many Irish threw their lot in with the North. ”
