XII Corps

Recruited in July 1862 essentially from New Jersey's Essex (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essex_County,_New_Jersey), Hudson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson_County,_New_Jersey) and Passaic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passaic_County,_New_Jersey) Counties (with large numbers from the cities of Jersey City (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jersey_City,_New_Jersey) and Newark (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newark,_New_Jersey)), it was one of five three-year enlistment units raised by the state that summer. It was mustered into Federal service on August 25, 1862, and was assigned to the Army of the Potomac (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_of_the_Potomac)'s XII Corps (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XII_Corps_(ACW)).
Despite being in existence for less than a month, and with bare rudimentary military training, it was thrown into a combat role at the September 17, 1862, Battle of Antietam (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Antietam). There it fought near the Dunkard Church and performed relatively well considering the unit's inexperience. Its further service would see the regiment take part in the Battles of Chancellorsville (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Chancellorsville), Gettysburg (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Gettysburg), the Atlanta Campaign (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlanta_Campaign) (most notably at the Battle of Peachtree Creek (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Peachtree_Creek)), the March to the Sea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherman%27s_March_to_the_Sea), and Bentonville (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Bentonville). It was mustered out of service on June 8, 1865, at Washington, D.C. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_D.C.).
We are extremely excited to represent this courageous unit in War of Rights and are excited to welcome any and all individuals interested. With many years experience in leadership in game and out, and in reenacting units, our officers are here to provide our members with the very best and most exciting time possible.
