During the Civil War, the State of Vermont continued the military tradition, started with the Green Mountain Boys of the Revolutionary War fame, and contributed significant to the war effort. The state sent more than 34,000 to serve.

More than 28,100 Vermonters served in Vermont volunteer units. Vermont fielded 17 infantry regiments, 1 cavalry regiment, 3 light artillery batteries, 1 heavy artillery company, 3 companies of sharpshooters, and 2 companies of frontier cavalry. Instead of replacing units as they were depleted, Vermont regularly provided recruits to bring the units in the field back up to normal strength. The first military action seen by Vermonters was at the Battle of Big Bethel in June of 1861, where a battalion of the 1st Vermont Infantry was engaged. The 1st Vermont Brigade saw action in nearly every major engagement in the Eastern Theater from the First Battle of Bull Run to Appomattox Court House.

The 7th and 8th Vermont Infantry and two Vermont Light Artillery Batteries served in the Department of the Gulf under General Benjamin Butler. The 8th Vermont later saw service in the Shenandoah Valley Campaign in 1864.

The 9th Vermont Infantry suffered ignominious capture at the Battle of Harpers Ferry during the 1862 Maryland Campaign, but later fought well in both Virginia and North Carolina, and was one of the first units to enter Richmond in April 1865. The 10th Vermont Infantry gained its niche in history at the Battle of Monocacy, delaying the Confederate drive to Washington.

Vermonters fought at Gettysburg on the first day of battle and again on the third day, gained lasting credit for its actions in helping stop Pickett's Charge on July 3, 1863. Vermont fielded three companies of sharpshooters, which served with Hiram Berdan in the two U. The 1st Vermont Cavalry Regiment participated in more than 70 engagements.

Albans raid on October 19, 1864, Vermont fielded two companies of Frontier Cavalry, who spent six months on the Canadian border to prevent further incursions from Confederate raiders.
