William F. Fox, Lt. Col. U. S. V., Regimental Losses in the American Civil War, 1861-1865: A Treatise on the extent and nature of the mortuary losses in the Union regiments, with full and exhaustive statistics compiled from the official records on file in the state military bureaus and at Washington

[534] by the National Government. In justice to the States which did not fill the quotas asked for, it should be stated that they either took exception to the figures upon which their quotas were based; or, that they claimed that they had furnished men which were not credited to them, or had been credited to other States.

The quotas demanded of the States in 1861 and 1862 were computed on a basis of the entire population, instead of the military class, and, consequently, bore harder on some of the Eastern States than on the newly-settled Western States, which had a larger military population, proportionately, to draw from. Subsequent levies, however, were based on a military enrollment made in each Congressional District by the officials of the Provost-Marshal-General.

But the results obtained in Table F require modification in order that the statement may be complete and fair. The figures for the number of men furnished include the long and short enlistments, and favor certain States whose troops contained a larger proportion of three months men or regiments with other short terms of enlistment. Some States, also, furnished money in commutation for soldiers, and in statistics like those of Table F it may be deemed that money was not a complete offset for men. Then, again, the military population, as enumerated in the census of 1860, embraced white males only, while the troops credited in Table F to the various States include the colored soldiers from those States; and although these colored troops were, in some States, a serious drain upon the agricultural resources of the community, they formed no part of the military population in question, and might be considered as unfairly influencing the comparative percentages.
