CSA – Confederate States Army
To get the discussion going, there is a Clinton C. Armstrong. who enlisted on October 2, 1862, in Hawkins County, Tennessee in the 39th Mounted Infantry under Col. W.M. Bradford. He was captured and paroled at Vicksburg, Mississippi on July 10, 1863, after agreeing not to take up arms against the United States again. https://www.fold3.com/image/78162800
