Was a entire US army unit awarded the MOH in the ACW
Was an entire US Army regiment ( 834 men ) awarded the Medal of Honor, during the American Civil War ? And is it true that that unit never fired a shot at the Confederate troops ? I know, do you ?
Jim B. Toronto. Ontario. Canada.
During the Civil War, Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton promised a Medal of Honor to every man in the 27th Regiment, Maine Infantry who extended his enlistment beyond the agreed upon date. Many stayed four days extra, and then were discharged. Due to confusion, Stanton awarded a Medal of Honor to all 864 men in the regiment.
Just as an aside…there were 24 Canadians awarded the CMOH during theCivil War.
