"German-Americans were the largest ethnic contingent to fight for the Union in the American Civil War. More than 200,000 native Germans served in the Union Army, notably from New York, Wisconsin, and Ohio."

and a piece of trivia I didnt know ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Palatines

(General Custer had German ancestors possibly from the Palatines)

Is king o' men for a' that” Robert Burns
