Though due to circumstances the regiment was never fully formed, they still serve as an example (typical or not, I don't know) of Confederates from the border states.
And judging by the song, they were going off to war for something other than home and hearth.
Adventure may have been a motivation, but why did they join the Confederate army if they merely wanted adventure?
Hoping this doesn't disappear from apathy, since there were enough Missouri and Kentucky (if not so many Maryland) Confederates going south that their views should not be overlooked.
