confederate soldiers after the war

[riaju]

What happened to soldiers from the south in the us army prior to seccesion who left the army to fight for the confederacy? Where there reprocussions like today? Where they just left alone? I know the more important officers had a tough time getting citizens rights after but what about the average soldier?

Have a look at the Time Life book, The Nation Reunited.
