Thought it would be a good idea to start this.
Post any question or answer you have about the civil war below. That way people who don't really know much can learn a few things.

how many engagements were the la tigers involved in

[Legion]

It depends, some of the units were disbanded throughout the war, But the Louisiana troops in the AnV fought in most of the engagements, and all but a few of the major battles in the eastern theater.

I'll give you some numbers later on and I'll list most of the battles that they played an active role in. It's 5am and I haven't been to sleep lol.
I will edit this post and get that info for you as soon as possible.
