There was an Army of Tennessee (confederate), and an Army of the Tennessee (union)! (I had ggg grandfathers in both)

All of my Tennessee kin fought for the Union.

Eastern Tennessee, at least, was fairly pro-Union.

I also had relatives in both of those armies.

I can only imagine the shenanigans that caused on occasion. I’m just imaging a union depo somehow getting a shipment of confederate uniforms from a private shipping company.

I had a g'g'grandfather in the 82nd Indiana which was in the Army of the Tennessee.
