I’ve often wondered what would have happened had the South won the war against the conscripted North whose ranks were packed with newly-arrived foreigners.

Neither of these claims is a valid criticism of the Union Army.

The South started using conscription first.

The percentage of foreign-born Union soldiers was less than their percentage in population of the Union states.
