Lincoln Called, and This State Delivered 500,000 Soldiers

While the Civil War might feel like a lifetime ago, many memories of this conflict still feel very fresh. This remains true as those who fought and died in this conflict are still honored yearly as heroes who went to battle for their country. Among those honored are individuals from many states who contributed their troops to the most terrible conflict in United States history. 

Overall, the Union had more raw manpower and resources to field than the Confederacy. Part of this comes down to simple mathematics, as the North had a stronger industrial base and a denser population. Compared to the agriculture-driven South, the North would always have the numeric advantage.
