yes, that's exactly what I said. What FM said is that they landed primarily in the South.
They didn't.

Yep, that's what I quoted several messages back.
Actually, you quoted something different. Your quote came from earlier in the book than mine, and is different
You:
Field quotes an article from an 1870 issue of the Scottish American Journal which describes the uniform of the Union Light Infantry (so-named to honour the Union of England & Scotland in 1707) which wore trews in Government Sett, bonnets and thistle buttons on their coats.
Me:
The Union Light Infantry.......wore trews,or trousers, and a plaid, in Black Watch Tartan, that worn by the British 42nd; his fur bonnet is also based on that worn by the 42nd Highlanders.....This became Co F 1st SC Infantry until 1863 and thereafter Co C 27th SC infantry
