The Civil War saw many ethnic units - especially German, Irish, Scottish. Many German regiments came from the Midwest (Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Missouri), whereas Irish units were more common in the East (Pennsylvania, Massachusetts). There was also a smattering of others - Scandinavians from the upper Midwest, Italians mostly from the East. Even British and Canadians, and a few French and Poles. New York, as the immigration hub, fielded units of many nationalities. Many immigrants enlisted with the goal securing for America the freedom that they did not find in their homeland. Germans, especially, had been swarming to American shores after the failed revolution of 1848, and formed dozens of Civil War units.
