Irish Confederates: The Civil War’s Forgotten Soldiers

by Phillip Thomas Tucker

Contemporary Civil War scholarship has brought to light the important roles certain ethnic groups played during that tumultuous time in our nation’s history. The axiom that the winners of wars write the histories is especially valid in regard to the story of the Irish who fought for the Confederacy from 1861–1865. Throughout the course of the Civil War, Irish Confederates made invaluable contributions to all aspects of the war effort. Yet, the Irish have largely been the forgotten soldiers of the South. InIrish Confederates: The Civil War’s Forgotten Soldiers, Tucker illuminates these overlooked participants.
