Germans made up about 10% of Union ranks with immigrants generally making up a little over 23%.

It's notable that the US military outnumbered the Confederate forces about 2-1. Southerners have occasionally also said the North invaded America. As in a foreign invasion. A lot of these German soldiers could not speak English.
