I had 31 ancestors (including great-great uncles) who fought in the Civil War. They were all in Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi Confederate regiments. Three were killed in action (Chickamauga, the Battle of Atlanta, and the 2nd Battle of Jackson, MS), 5 died of illness or disease (two while in a Union prison), 8 were wounded (some several times) but continued to serve, and 6 were captured at various times during the war with three of them being exchanged. It was a hard war for both sides, and few who participated survived unscathed.
