Current estimates 55k Southern men joined out of state regiments. Some of these regiments were Unionist see Current p.105 which picked up non Alabaman recruits in Georgia. Many Unionists joined other non Southern state regiments. Has mentioned at least two Union regiments actively recruited deserters.The regiment I research sent back soldiers (officers mainly) to recruit back home. Their CSR have documentation to that effect for a period of time. Very few soldiers have been recruits from the places they were stationed.
