ABOUT 2nd Maine Volunteer Infantry Reg

2nd Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment

The 2nd Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment is a regiment North & South: 1st Manassas, a mod for Mount And Blade: Warband (And the upcoming game War Of Rights). We strive for maturity and fun in and out of the game.

The 2nd Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment (also known as the Second Maine Regiment, Second Maine Infantry, or The Bangor Regiment) was a Union Army unit during the American Civil War. It was mustered in Bangor, Maine, for two years' service on May 28, 1861, and mustered out in the same place on June 9, 1863.

Five of the ten companies of the regiment were raised in Bangor, including a Gymnasium Company, the Grattan Guards, and a company of Ex-Tigers (firemen). Other companies were from Castine, Milo, and Old Town.

The 2nd Maine was the first Civil War regiment to march out of the state, and was greeted with accolades by civilians as it made its way to Washington, D.C. It engaged in "eleven bloody and hard-fought battles" including the First Battle of Bull Run, where it was the last regiment to leave the field, and Fredericksburg, where it took its greatest number of casualties.

When the regiment was mustered out in Bangor, huge crowds gathered to celebrate its return on Broadway, and a ceremony was held at Norumbega Hall downtown. Survivors who had enlisted for three, rather than two, years were transferred to the 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment under protest.
