Although it is not generally acknowledged, a number of soldiers of Hispanic ancestry fought on behalf of the Confederacy during the American Civil War. As a result of the Spanish colonial settlement of the Gulf Coast states and, during the 19th century, Mexican control of the territories that were to become Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, a significant number of Hispanic-Americans were affected by the outbreak of the Civil War. As John O'Donnell-Rosales explains in the Introduction to his ground-breaking list of Hispanic Confederate soldiers, many of these individuals--including businessmen and sailors living in cities like New Orleans, St Louis, Natchez, Biloxi, and Mobile--would have to choose between their cultural aversion to American slavery (which had been outlawed throughout Latin America prior to 1860) and the natural desire to protect their way of life in the South. After consulting a number of primary and secondary sources, including numerous rosters of Confederate soldiers, the author has compiled the first comprehensive roster of Hispanic Confederate soldiers in print.The list of 3,600 soldiers, which includes Private Kelvin Rosales, the author's Confederate ancestor, is arranged alphabetically by surname and gives each individual's rank, company, and regiment (Infantry, Cavalry, etc.). Included among the soldiers are persons of Jewish descent whose ancestors were expelled from Spain in 1492, as well as a short list of Hispanic Confederate naval personnel. At the back of the volume there is a bibliography of the sources utilized by the author in the compilation of this unique list.

Hispanics Who Fought for The South

Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2017

Verified Purchase

History is what it is, or was, even if all the statues are torn down.

The author lists thousands of Hispanics who fought for their Country-- the Confederate States of America.

Why did they fight for the South? Because it was their Country. Because their Country was invaded.

If you are Hispanic, look for your name in this book, and think about history. Ask yourself what you would have done, had you been in the shoes of your ancestor.

The highest-ranking Hispanic on either side was on the Southern side: Colonel Santos Benevides, commander of the 37th Texas Cavalry, Confederate .

Thrilled to have such a wonderful resource of information. Wow I am very impressed with the author, this takes a lot, a lot of research and I am so thrilled to learn about part of this nation's history that you do not find in schoolbooks. Loving it. I had no idea that Hispanics were part of the Confederate army. Will pass this down to my children as a wonderful source of knowledge. Thank you Mr. Rosales.

This book lists the Hispanic soldiers who took part in the war. It is a good place to find an ancestor.

Very Good, But ...

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2001

The effort in research and documentation of this book is excellent. However the premise that US Hispanics of the War Between the States Era may have been non-Caucasians is simply unrealistic. Most Old Spanish families from Florida and Louisiana and many from Texas, New Mexico and California were Criollos, (of European stock born in the Americas), descendants of the original and subsequent Spanish settlers. Many were slave owners, which was not against their morality or customs.
Although most Latin American countries did free the slaves upon gaining their independence from Spain, Cuba and Puerto Rico did not free their slaves until much later after the War Between the States. Most US Hispanics from the Southeast were Spanish-Cubans and Cuba did not finally free its slaves until 1886.
US Hispanics were patriotic Southerners and were among, if not the first to volunteer when their states seceded from the Union.
Later immigrations from Latin America, particularly the last 25 years or so brought great numbers of non-Caucasians to the US.
Most Hispanic immigrants prior to the 1980's were predominantly White, particulary the large numbers of Cuban emigrees who came in the 1950's and 1960's and unto our days, of whom approximately 95% are White.

A Neglected Niche of Civil War Research Is Filled

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2000

Professor John O'Donnell-Rosales has compiled a comprehensive listing of Hispanic Confederate soldiers and naval personnel.This work will be beneficial to both those of Hispanic origin interested in genealogical research as well as Civil War students looking for further details on the true composition of Confederate forces.
The idea that the Civil War was fought by armies and navies made up only of Caucasian forces is factually incorrect. Minorities participated on both sides in many different roles. This book documents one of those areas in a very informative, effective way. I recommend it!

A Different and Fascinating View

Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2008

The author presents a most informative and fascinating view of the true composition of the Confederate forces. It is an absolute must read for any student researching the Civil War, Confederate History or the Hispanic influences in America. After reading this book, I find myself curious about the demographics of soldiers in various other wars (WWI, WWII and Vietnam) and give the author credit for not only informing through his writing but for stimulating continued thought and research. Highly recommended!
