Michael Hopcroft Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 One difference is that the British Army was made up largely of "professionals" who were kept in service in the event of an emergency. The armies of the US Civil War were raised and recruited haphazardly, and eventually filled out with conscripts. There were very few professional soldiers -- even many of the officers were civilian volunteers hurriedly trained and rushed into battle. It is amazing they were able to do as well as they did with what were, by comparison to the British, unruly mobs who fought as much out of desperation and fear as out of patriotism. Little wonder Lincoln was desperate to keep Britain out of the war (he needn't have worried quite so much -- the UK had little interest in backing a "nation" that was built entirely around slavery). Up until the war, the Americans had a great distrust of standard armies and preferred to raise regiments as needed. The War of 1812 showed that that was a bad idea -- the Redcoats repulsed the invasion of Canada almost effortlessly. (The war itself was a bad idea, and once it became clear that the British were beating them with a minuscule portion of their military assets the Americans were more than happy to negotiate a peace treaty before the bulk of Britain's forces could be brought to bear).I'm surprised American textbooks still glorify what was essentially an effort to swipe valuable territory quickly while the British were occupied with fighting Napoleon in Spain.
