1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment (original) (raw)
- The 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment was the very first group of volunteers the Union received in response to the South's assault of Fort Sumter at the beginning of the United States Civil War. Minnesota's Governor Alexander Ramsey offered 1000 men to Lincoln immediately upon learning of the attack on the fort. He just happened to be in Washington when the news broke. Those men volunteered for a five-year commitment (1861–64) which was much longer than other states. During combat actions, the 1st Minnesota sustained substantial casualties at the battles of First Bull Run (20%) and Antietam (28%) and a staggering 82% at the Battle of Gettysburg, where the regiment's most famous actions occurred on the second day of the battle. At a dire moment on the afternoon of July 2, 1863, Major General Winfield Scott Hancock, commander of II Corps ordered the 1st Minnesota to charge into a brigade of roughly 1200 men of James Longstreet's corps and Richard H. Anderson's Division, which it did with roughly 250 men. They were outnumbered by at least 5 to 1, but it was Gen. Hancock's only option to buy time for reinforcements to arrive. One survivor stated afterward that he expected the advance to result in "death or wounds to us all". The regiment immediately obeyed the order and Gen. Hancock was amazed at the unit discipline, valor, and the tremendous casualties taken in carrying out his order. This action blunted the Confederate attack and helped preserve the Union's precarious position on Cemetery Ridge at the end of the second day of the battle. Post war, both General Hancock and U.S. President Calvin Coolidge were unrestrained in their praise for the actions of the 1st Minnesota. Gen. Hancock, who witnessed the action firsthand, placed its heroism highest in the annals of war: "No soldiers on any field, in this or any other country ever displayed grander heroism". Gen. Hancock ascribed unsurpassed gallantry to the famed assault stating: "There is no more gallant deed recorded in history". Emphasizing the critical nature of the circumstances on July 2 at Gettysburg, President Coolidge considered: "Colonel Colvill and those eight companies of the First Minnesota are entitled to rank as the saviors of their country".

- Le 1st Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Regiment est levé pour une durée de trois ans (1861-1864) dans l'armée de l'Union au début de la guerre de Sécession alors que la période habituelle d'enrôlement est de trois mois. Au cours de mouvements offensifs, il subit un pourcentage élevé de pertes lors des batailles du premier Bull Run (20 %) et d'Antietam (28 %) et un taux catastrophique de 82 % à la bataille de Gettysburg. Il est plus connu pour son service lors de la deuxième journée à Gettysburg. À un moment charnière dans les combats de 1863 à Gettysburg, le major-général Winfield Scott Hancock, commandant du II corps, ordonne au 1st Minnesota de charger dans une situation où il est en infériorité numérique par au moins 5 contre 1. L'objectif du général est de gagner des minutes de délai au prix de vies humaines, et un survivant dit par la suite qu'il s'attendait par avance à la « mort ou la blessure de [tous les attaquants] ». Le régiment obéit entièrement et immédiatement à l'ordre, subissant au moins 82 % de pertes parmi ceux qui participent à l'attaque ; cette action contribue de manière significative à la préservation d'une position défensive clé de l'Union sur les hauteurs de Cemetery Ridge. Lorsque l'occasion de s'exprimer sur le régiment, après la guerre, le général Hancock et le président des États-Unis Calvin Coolidge font des louanges sans retenue. Hancock place son héroïsme au niveau le plus élevé dans l'histoire de la guerre et attribue une bravoure inégalée à la célèbre attaque. Mettant l'accent sur la nature critique des circonstances du 2 juillet à Gettysburg, le président Coolidge considère que « le colonel Colvill et ces huit compagnies du 1st Minnesota ont le droit de se classer au rang des sauveurs de leur pays ».
