I found this interesting record on an online book from 1897.

Number of white troops from Southern states in the Union Army...86,009

Number of troops from Northern states in the Confederate Army...19,000.

Does anyone have any comments on what these numbers may signify? Does this prove that the South was not as pro-Slavery as history projects or does this mean little at all?
