Veteranized, (To Be) – When a soldier had fulfilled his enlistment and service to the army and now was heading back home.
Vedette or Vidette – This was a sentry on horseback that was positioned ahead of a picket line as a guard.
Veal – When a soldier had no experience of fighting in a battle, he was called this.
Used Up – A unit (a company, regiment, or brigade, for example) in the army was Used Up when its ranks had fallen low. Common causes of attrition were illness, death, wounds, capture, and desertion.
United States Sanitary Commission – This was a Federal government organization of women volunteers. It raised funds by staging Sanitary Fairs. The women took on duties such as being cooks, nursing, and sewing uniforms.
United States Christian Commission – This organization gave food, Bibles, and writing supplies to Yankee soldiers. It promoted good moral character to the men.
Unhorsed – You were unhorsed in the Civil War when you had to temporarily walk instead of riding a horse. It may be that the horse threw you and you had to walk until the animal was caught. Perhaps too, the horse was injured or had become lame and could not be ridden.
Typhoid – A disease that causes fever, diarrhea, and physical exhaustion. It is a bacterial infection that spread easily in the Civil War and killed many soldiers and civilians.
Turnspit – A soldier who proved himself to always be not up to the task. A useless fellow, a screw up.
Total War – A way of fighting the enemy that included destroying homes and crops of civilians in order to demoralize the civilian base and curtail its military supply. General William Tecumseh Sherman practiced Total War in his March to the Sea.
Tosspot – Slang for a soldier who was drunk.
Torpedo/Infernal Machine – In the Civil War, what we call mines were called torpedoes or Infernal Machines.
Tom Fool – Before the Civil War Thomas Jonathan Jackson taught at the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia. Jackson was an odd character and his teaching style was awkward. Because of this, the VMI cadets derisively called him Tom Fool.
Thumb Hanging – A cruel form of punishment used in some Civil War POW camps. The unfortunate POW would be strung up by rope tied to each of his thumbs until his feet were just above the ground.
Timberclad – A boat that was covered with wood for protection instead of with iron.
Ticket to Dixie – For a Northern man who was drafted to fight in the Civil War, he had received his Ticket to Dixie.
Hundreds of Union soldiers killed in Fort Pillow Massacre on April 12, 1864: buff.ly/3Q1JD5T
On April 12, 1861, the Civil War begins as Confederate forces fire on Fort Sumter: buff.ly/2v9w7WZ
Three Days Rations – When a battle was expected, food for three days was issued to Union soldiers. Usually these rations would not last for three days and it was sometimes eaten as a single meal by hungry soldiers.
“Those People” – This is how Confederate General Robert E. Lee at times referred to Yankee soldiers and Northern civilians.

@CivilWarHistory A lot of southerners would be surprised at how many of their ancestors fought for the union or vice versa. Many black folks would also be surprised that they have confederate ancestry too. It's a strange history once you look at it for what it is and not what we'd like it to be
