Confederate Flag Controversy, well NORTH of the M.D. Line

   

Confederate Monument in Montgomery, AL

     USA Today reports on a controversy in upstate New York. A college student hangs a confederate flag in his dorm window, with predictable results.
     He might want to know how many New York State residents died in the Civil War to defeat that flag.
     Then again he's from North Carolina, so maybe he doesn't care?

During the entire war, New York provided more than 370,000 soldiers to the Union armies. Of these, 834 officers were killed in action, as well as 12,142 enlisted men. Another 7,235 officers and men perished from their wounds, and 27,855 died from disease. Another 5,766 were estimated to have perished while incarcerated in Southern prisoner-of-war camps.^[1]
