Casey’s Drill Manual for the Union Army

Casey’s drill manual was the primary drill manual used by federal troops throughout the Civil War. The manual is largely copied from Hardee’s drill manual with the only change in the school of the solider being “fix bayonet.“ Hardee joined the Confederacy and so the Union sought to rename the manual and fix some of the minor errors. Thus, Casey’s manual was formed. I will go through all the movements for the school of the solider described in Casey’s manual in this video.
