Units Raised Directly by the Confederate States Government with Significant Virginia components.
Note: Confederate units were theoretically raised by the central government. They were considered the backbone of the Confederate regular army. In practice, however, they were not much different than any other unit, except that their members could not easily be identified with anyone particular state.
Additionally, five companies in the 10th Kentucky Cavalry, C.S. were recruited in southwestern Virginia.
