that the total number of soldiers in
the southern army during the four
years OF the war did not exceed Co.,
wv, mat at no time were there more
than 100000 men on the roll-muster

strength Of the army was never
greater than 100000 men. At the
time OF Lees surrender but 100. 600
Confederates We're i'm the field, i'm on
position TO the Union army a million

completely the Confederacy was used
