Union monuments at Gettysburg > Connecticut Monuments
There are monuments at Gettysburg to all five of the Connecticut infantry regiments and the one Connecticut artillery battery that fought on the battlefield. Roughly 1,270 men from Connecticut took part in the Battle of Gettysburg. Around 340 men (27%) became casualties in the battle. (see the States at Gettysburg) One of the army’s eight corps commanders, Major General John Sedgwick of the Sixth Corps, was from Connecticut.
Connecticut sent over 50,000 men to the Union Army during the Civil War. They were organized into thirty regiments of infantry, one of cavalry, two of heavy artillery, and three batteries of light artillery.
