List of American Civil War legions
This is a list of American Civil War legions, legions being defined as combined arms units of infantry, cavalry and artillery. The popularity of this type of unit had declined by the time of the American Civil War owing to the difficulty of organizing and maintaining its disparate elements; nevertheless, the Confederate Congress authorized the raising of at least ten legions.〔 Units called legions for other reasons are also included.
==Confederate legions==

*Cobb's Legion or Georgia Legion, raised in the summer of 1861 by Colonel Thomas Reade Rootes Cobb
*Hampton's Legion, raised in the summer of 1861 by Wade Hampton III
*Hilliard's Legion, organized in Montgomery, Alabama in June 1862, under the command of Colonel Henry Washington Hilliard. It was composed of five battalions: three infantry, one cavalry, and one artillery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hilliard's Legion )〕 It suffered heavy losses at the Battle of Chickamauga.
*Louisiana Legion. Established in 1821, it was "the oldest brigade in the city ''(Orleans )''. By the beginning of 1861 this consisted of the Orleans Battalion of Artillery, containing French and Spanish citizens; the Regiment of Light Infantry, composed of Germans; and the newly formed battalion of Chasseurs à Pied de la Louisiane."
*Miles' Legion, organized May 16 or 17, 1862 at Camp Moore, Louisiana, with an infantry and a cavalry battalion under the command of Colonel William R. Miles〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Miles Legion Volunteer Infantry )
*Phillips' Legion, organized circa June 1861 in Georgia, with one infantry and one cavalry battalion. The battalions were assigned to different units in 1862 and thereafter served apart.
*Thomas' Legion, also known as Thomas' Legion of Cherokee Indians and Highlanders, and the 69th North Carolina. It was raised on September 27, 1862 by William Holland Thomas and incorporated a large number of Cherokee Indians. It fought in the last skirmish in North Carolina before surrendering on May 9, 1865.
