How many men deserted in the civil war?

They tried to count them, but they gave up! In the Union army, there were the Bounty-jumpers - the bad Northern draft system effectively encouraged this. The Confederates suffered endless desertions, partly because the poor white trash were naturally lawless people. But in the second half of the war, the Confederates were largely barefoot and starving. And Lee's army in Virginia included many regiments raised in Georgia. When these men heard about Sherman's March to the Sea, they felt they were needed at home, and they deserted, virtually 'en bloc'.

What are 2 mountain groups in northern Africa?

Hard to answer since the general consensus is that Northern Africa only has the Atlas mountains. But if a second range could be added to the list it would be Jebel Akhdar located in Libya. It's technically not a continuation of the Atlas mountains, since it's separated from it by a low lying deserted coastline.


If you suddenly awaken on an deserted island what is one clue that you could use to determine direction?

One clue to determine direction on a deserted island is the position of the sun. In the Northern Hemisphere, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, so observing its path can help you identify cardinal directions. Additionally, if you spot any natural landmarks, like a mountain or a river, you can use their orientation to further confirm your bearings.

Slippery northern men who collected fees?

These sound like the Substitute Brokers who exploited the unfair draft law in the North which allowed rich young men to pay someone else to do their service for them. You have only to look at the logic. Who were these substitutes? Men too young or too old to be drafted in the ordinary way? Men who had been rejected as physically or mentally sub-standard? Or men who had been dodging the draft and had to be dragged along to the recruiting stations? The brokers who supplied these substitutes were deeply cynical types who just wanted their fee, and had no interest in the fate of the armies.
