Who fought for both sides in the Civil War?

Can the lines of conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia be heard?

“In some areas the lines are so close they can hear and potentially talk to one another.” Azerbaijan is majority Muslim and Armenia is majority Christian, and some elements on both sides seek to cast the conflict in religious terms, though analysts say this angle is exaggerated (Azerbaijan, for example, maintains strong defence ties with Israel).

Did Daniel Dare change sides in the Civil War?

He accepted their invitation to change sides—we don’t know how willingly—and on October 1, 1864 joined K Company, 13 th Tennessee Volunteer Cavalry (irony of a volunteer unit noted) and served the Union until September 5, 1865. 8 Daniel’s story of “loyalty issues” only gets more interesting, however, after the war ends.
