Minnesota in the Civil War

Minnesota was the youngest state only three years old, and
was the first state to offer troops to fight in the Civil War.
This is a fact that we should be very proud of.

Minnesota set a good example to the older states that were


rather slow to come to the aide of the U.S.

From 22,000 to 25,000 men answered the call to arms during


the civil war.

At least 2,500 men from Minnesota died during the Civil War.
