The American Civil War is often called Ireland's forgotten conflict. During the war about 150,000 Irish men fought for the Union, with another 20,000 joining the Confederacy. Although exact death figures are unknown, thousands of Irish soldiers likely died. Despite their significant involvement, their experiences remain largely overlooked. Register.
