Collection: General Thomas Welsh Family Papers

Title: "Army Correspondence"

Description: "Army Correspondence." Newport News, Virginia, 23 February 1863. This portion of the article discusses disappointment that the Stevens bill for enlisting [men of color] did not become law, men of color serving in the U.S. Army, the draft and use of substitutes, political views on the war and people of color migrating to Pennsylvania, and General Burnside. Incomplete article from The Columbia Spy. 1863.

Admin/Biographical History: Thomas Welsh (1824-1863) was a Lancaster County native (born and raised in Columbia), who rose from hardscrabble origins to local fame, first as a Mexican War hero, and then as a brigadier general during the Civil War. He was well known and well respected as a no nonsense officer, for his leadership and gallantry in battle, for his dedication to the service of his country, and for his concern for the welfare of his men. See MG0828 for more biographical information.

Notes: Pennsylvania Magazine, v. 101, no. 2 (April 1977).; " HISTORIANS have long known that Civil War conscription was greeted with less than unreserved enthusiasm in New York, where draft riots erupted in 1863, in the Middle West, where Copperheadism flourished, and in the border states, where slaveowners and others viewed the Union government with uneasy eyes. But there was at least one more area in which the draft was exceedingly unpopular. This was Pennsylvania. An ex-amination of contemporary newspapers and federal provost marshal records stored in the National Archives strongly suggests that opposition to conscription in the Keystone State was as wide spread as in any other state of the North."
