Talladega was one of two camps of
instruction established in Alabama for
collecting recruits. The Confederacy was
faced with a serious manpower shortage
in the winter of 1862, and Congress
determined on a compulsory military
service law which went into effect in
April 1862. Most men between the ages of
18 and 35 would be obliged to enroll,
with exceptions for certain professions
and other situations. Talladega and
Notasulga were selected as camp sites to
collect recruits, which had been
volunteers up to this time. Enrolling
officers in each county collected men
and took them to camp, where they were
enrolled and eventually assigned to a
front-line unit.
Note: Some of these men were
transferred to other Regiments, and some
were unfit for service and never served
in the war, and some were Indian Wars
soldiers who were called upon to train
the men.
