I may answer this question to the members of CWT.
When the civil war started, many southerners were in the regular army, when the south seceded, they separated from their comrades.
You can see such scenes in some movies (the West Point cadets in "They died with their boots on", "Column South" with Audie Murphy, or even in the series "North and South"...), but how did it happen really ?
Did the south seized the Union forts who were on their land ?
Did the troopers of both sides take their weapons with them when they separate ? Were they allowed to keep their horses ?
Thanks for your answers.
