Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.

1. Louisiana Brigade
1. Louisiana Brigade or Taylor's/Hay's Brigade.
2. Louisiana Brigade or Starke's/Nicholls' Brigade.
Hays kicked Union butt on Day 1 and broke the Cemetery Hill line for a bit. Others were afraid to help so Union counter charged knocked them back down the hill on Day 2.
1. LA Brigade was also an important part of the Shenandoah Campaign of '62. Which was of course was an epic couple of weeks.
2. LA Brigade fought on Culp's Hill with Jesse Williams in charge since Nicholls was seriously wounded at Chancellorsville (in Jackson's flanking attack). Lost pretty much all of its Brigade commanders during the war. Got beat up good at Antietam (famous photos along the turnpike fencing shows dead members of their Brigade), but stuck it to the Yankees turning their attack into retreat.
