Talladega Camp of
Instruction, Surname O
Talladega was
one of two camps of instruction established in Alabama for
collecting recruits. The Confederacy was faced with a serious
manpower shortage in the winter of 1862, and Congress determined
on a compulsory military service law which went into effect in
April 1862. Most men between the ages of 18 and 35 would be
obliged to enroll, with exceptions for certain professions and
other situations. Talladega and Notasulga were selected as camp
sites to collect recruits, which had been volunteers up to this
time. Enrolling officers in each county collected men and took
them to camp, where they were enrolled and eventually assigned
to a front-line unit.
Note: Some of these men were
transferred to other Regiments, and some were unfit for service
and never served in the war, and some were Indian Wars soldiers
who were called upon to train the men.
