Massachusetts and New York were fully ready. Rhode Island, population 140,000 in 1861, was somewhat ready, thanks to their very rich governor, who funded a lot of it himself. Pennsylvania should have been ready, being the closest northern state to Washington, D.C., but Pennsylvania was disastrously unready.

Yeah, that was the New York 7th Regiment. It was a fascinating story. It probably has its roots in the war of 1812, but it became, just to back up for one minute, in the North, military organizations, militias became extravagant. The state governments wouldn't fund them, didn't want to fund them.

They were looked upon by the rest of the societies in the North as extraneous, farcical, unnecessary, social clubs for men. But that was the overview. But there were some militia organizations in the North, especially in the big cities, die sehr aktiv im Norden waren, während der 1840er und 1850er-Jahre, sehr oft Rituale aufzunehmen.

Es klingt sehr seltsam, aber in den alten Tagen war die Regierung nicht geeignet, die lokale, staatliche, federale Regierung war nicht geeignet, um mit diesen sozialen Konflikten und Tiefen zu handeln, die sich ständig aufheben. Sie hielten also auf den staatlichen Militärs, die sie mit Weasel-Force aufsetzten.

So the New York 7th had its roots in that kind of background, but it essentially was a social club for very rich, very connected New York City men. And it took its job seriously and was ready to roll. It had 990 something men in April of 1861, far more than any other regiment.

The New York City Regiments and the Boston ones had to man up, staff up, recruit to get double their size during that month. But 7th New York was ready. General Scott wanted the 7th New York. Yeah, it was probably the most respected military organization in the world at that point.
