Confederate Survivors Analysis by a Southern Veteran
Special correspondence from New York on Confederate survivors argues that actual Confederate soldiers alive at war end were about 550000, with over 300000 outlasting the war. The Georgia veteran cites parole lists and census data to claim roughly 150000 Confederates remain today, mostly in the South, while noting many died soon after surrender and that Federal troops outnumber them in the region. The piece weighs whether these figures are accurate and reflects on survivor endurance.
