AbstractHistory has not been kind to the Eleventh Corps of the Army of the Potomac, the Union's chief fighting force in the eastern theater of the Civil War. today the Eleventh is commonly remembered as a heavily ethnic unit--composed primarily of German-Americans--that compiled a poor battle record when it was routed at Chancellorsville and Gettysburg....Modern historians...have been kinder than their predecessors.
