Really interesting that NH had so few. After the war ended a great many veterans of the war came to NH to settle. This resulted in a kind of cultural pulse that I could still feel when growing up there, especially around the middle of the state. Very strong negative sentiment toward Confederate states and citizens endured for long afterward.

I was surprised by VT as well. Looking at population numbers at the time VT and NH had ~320k people each compared to NY's 3.8M. Adjusting for population the recruitment numbers were pretty similar for all 3 states.
