Illinois contributed 250,000 soldiers to the Union Army, ranking it fourth in terms of the total men fighting for a single state. Troops mainly fought in the Western side of the Appalachian Mountains, but a few regiments played important roles in the East side. Several thousand Illinoisians died during the war. No major battles were fought in the state, although several towns became sites for important supply depots and navy yards. Not everyone in the state supported the war and there were calls for secession in Southern Illinois several residents. However, the movement for secession soon died after the proposal was blocked.

This Act was to restrict the power of the President removing certain office holders without approval of the Senate.

Name Meaning
English: habitational name primarily from High Sunderland in Northowram, Halifax (Yorkshire), but occasionally from other places so called, for example in Durham, Cumberland, Lancashire, and Northumberland. The placenames derive from Old English sundor-land ‘land set apart for some special purpose, private land, detached land’ (sundor ‘asunder, apart’ + land ‘land’). Compare Sunderlin .
