Alabama seceded from the United States January 11, 1861. Though Alabama did not have any major battles within its borders, it did contribute about 120,000 white men to the Confederate armed forces. Most served with others from their local areas. Unknown numbers of slaves were pressed into service to build or repair roads, railroads, and defenses, while others took care of the cooking and cleaning for the armies. About 10,000 slaves escaped and joined the Union forces as well as about 2700 white men who remained loyal to the Union.<ref name="wikipedia">Wikipedia.com, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alabama_in_the_American_Civil_War Alabama in the American Civil War], (accessed 19 March 2011).</ref><br> | Alabama seceded from the United States January 11, 1861.
