Many thousands of Hessian Troops were employed by the British. Several thousands of the colonists were from the Rheinland and Hessen. Did you know that 23% (or 516,000) of the Union Troops in the US Civil War were of German descent with 216,000 of those being German born? Records are far more scarce for the Confederate States Army. Assuming similar percentages for the CSA, there were likely another 230,000 of German descent serving with the Confederacy with 100,000 of those being German born.
