Fannin County Georgia succeeded from the confederacy too, not sure when they were readmitted back into the state. My 3rd GGF was a captain in the Union Army, lost an eye and an arm at Shiloh, he was from Blue Ridge, GA

My ancestor fought with the 140th Pennsylvania volunteer Infantry Regiment which mustered into service in the summer of 1862. So it’s not just that Pennsylvania sent so many men to war, but also how quickly those units were formed. The 140th was in training into the fall and missed Antietam and Fredericksburg and didn’t see real action until spring of 1863.

Can you update the chart in the article? ty

You should remove Alaska. It wasn't purchased until 1867.

While your statement is true, one of the great Allied intelligence accomplishments of WW2 was tracking the serial numbers on German equipment and estimating production output. Because the Germans didn't obfuscate serial numbers the statisticians working for the Allies were able to gauge German industrial output with incredible accuracy.

I'm curious as to if there is a monuments to any of the 20 Louisiana or 18 Arkansas Union companies in their respective States, since it is 'heritage'?

It just didn’t have many people period

Tennessee also had a county that seceded from the confederacy, it didn't technically rescind its secession until 1986.

Culturally absolutely. Financially, I believe mls has surpassed NCAA basketball

A place of birth is very misleading and pointless.

There is way less than 10.000 Saudis in Canada.

Being born in a country doesn’t make you from that country in almost the majority of Asia, Europe and Africa.

I also had relatives in both of those armies.

Which month is the "right" month definitely changes by culture, but the premise that being the oldest in your childhood cohort confers an early advantage seems to hold across multiple countries.

If it makes you feel any better, the magnitude of the advantage conferred isn't huge. I'm a September baby, was almost always the youngest in my class, and (at the risk of bragging) I'm objectively successful. I was never great at sports, but being several inches below average is probably the culprit. :)

Read the book “Outliers”. talks about this exact thing. are you really naturally good at soccer? or were you born at the right time and thus were a step ahead from the get-go

Not much of a correlation

Oh boy another thing to strengthen my imposter syndrome

How exactly does the 0.2 odds work?
