You betcha!  Go to the National Park Service's Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System at http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/ and click on "soldiers."  When that comes up, type in the name "Elsasser" (and if you want, "Pennsylvania").  \nI typed in just the name and got a very long list---most from Pennsylvania.

You are going to have to restate your question.  And which civil war are you talking about?  There have been many (not everyone on this service will assume that you are talking about the War of the Roses, like I am).

A confederate is usually someone who participates in a psychological experiment, but is employed by the experimenter to implement some deception.  For instance, in Asch famous conformity experiment, he had different numbers of confederates express incorrect answers to simple questions to see how willing a participant would be to conform and give the incorrect answer.

David Duke tried, but there was one that was actually endorsed by the Klan and won.  Calvin Cooledge.  They ran him in some souther states as Klan Kalvin Kooledge.  No joke, you can even check it out.  So yeah, America had a Klansman as president...ouch

Both were seen as opportunists.\n\nScalawags is a derogatory term (originally describing worthless livestock) applied to native white Southerners who supported the federal reconstruction plan and cooperated with the blacks in order to achieve their ends. Some of the scalawags were entirely above board, having opposed the Confederacy in earlier times and later wanted a new South to emerge from the rubble. Others cooperated with or served in the Republican governments in order to avail themselves of money-making opportunities.\n\nCarpetbaggers is also a term of derision, but applied to Northerners who went South during Reconstruction, motivated by either profit or idealism. The name referred to the cloth bags many of them used for transporting their possessions, but today is applied to any recently arrived opportunist. Despite the negative connotation of the name, many carpetbaggers were sincerely interested in aiding the freedom and education of the former slaves.

If you're talking about the Civil War, then you're referring to the copperheads. Next time just use wikipedia.

This is indeed a question researchers have pondered for decades. There is a substansial amount of evidence that Mrs. Claus was formerly known as Adele von Hoerrneman from the royal Baltic-Prussian family of Herrenhausen. \n\nMs. Hoerrneman was not a member of the royal family, but a beautiful servant girl for the family, probably brought in from the French-Prussian area called Lustasia during the second war of Schleiswig. The Herrenhausen Royal Family resided in a 65 room castle on Lake Masch near Heilbronn, in what is now Germany, from approximately 1400 to 1846. \n\nRumors of magic/wizardry in their family persisted all the way up until the final family member (Baron Ulf Bernard III, his great-grandmother was a Herrenhausen) died in Omsk, Siberia in 1846 while traveling. The story that most of the Herrenhausen family (especially the women) were toy-makers (known as "Spielzeughersteller") is not a rumor and has been verified as fact. \n\nHow the servant girl known as Adele von Hoerrneman became Mrs. Santa Claus is the most debatable story. If anyone has information on this please post it here.

Yes, this was a battle on Christmas day in 1864 by a joint army-navy Union Army force on Fort Filsher... which was a Confedeeracy bstion that, at that time, protected the South's remaining major port of Wilmington, N.C.\n\nAs a result of that fizzled battle, the 10,000 Union attackers suffered 1,338 casualties. The 1,500 Rebels lost about 500 killed and wounded, with the rest captured.
