In the mid-1800s, the United States had grown apart. Since the beginning
of the colonies more than 200 years earlier, two regions of the country had
developed in very different ways. They were not the same for many reasons, but
the rising tension was starting to tear the nation apart. By 1860, after years
of compromise on several issues, war could no longer be avoided. The time of
peace and unity would be shattered by the American Civil War.

Cyrus Wright, of
Lake, Berrien, Michigan, 25th Infantry, Co. F; died 24 June 1864, Nashville,
Tennessee, typhoid, buried Nashville National Cemetery. He was only 19 years
old. My brother and his wife (who were living in Georgia) went up to Nashville
to the National Cemetery where he was buried and photographed his headstone.
Poor Cyrus died of typhoid in a Nashville hospital. His uncle, John Wright,
went on with the regiment and poor John was shot during the second day of the
Battle of Resaca, Georgia. When I was home visiting my mom (in Georgia) we went
up to Resaca and then up to Chattannoga. The dead from Resaca were dug up
months later (gruesome)and sent to the Chattanooga National Cemetery but
unfortunately John received no headstone or even any remembrance of his
sacrifice. I have a list of some of my ancestors from Berrien County; it might
not conform to your list as I don’t have enlistment dates - info from
