Greenwich in the American Civil War

The town of Greenwich, Connecticut, contributed 437 men to twenty-six Connecticut regiments during the American Civil War.〔Hines, pp. 400–401.〕 Greenwich soldiers fought in almost every major Union campaign, including Bull Run, Gettysburg and the siege of Petersburg. Approximately half of the Greenwich soldiers served in two infantry regiments, the 10th Connecticut Infantry and 17th Connecticut Infantry.〔Hines, p. 400.〕
==Greenwich before the Civil War==
On the eve of the Civil War, Greenwich was a small agricultural community with a population just over 6,500. Most Greenwich residents, like those of Connecticut, supported the Union cause. However, there was an undercurrent of anti-war sentiment due to the high volume of trade with the south.
Anti-slavery advocates were well represented in Greenwich and Connecticut in the lead-up to the Civil War. But, attitudes toward slavery were not uniform as many working men feared competition from freed slaves.〔Mead, p. 68.〕 The last slaves in Greenwich were freed by 1823.〔 Freed slaves had lived in Greenwich for many years prior to the Civil War. They worked and lived alongside their white employers on Greenwich farms, performing the same labors and receiving the same pay.〔Mead, p. 67.〕
