    I think I speak for all genealogists that we wish they had the 1890 U.S. Census. They were destroyed in a fire. This is the genealogist library! Very important place!

      Maybe you are asking the wrong entity. Check the National Archives website for what kind of documents they have and until what date. Often, national archives wait decades before receiving certain documents, and they don't archive everything.
      First, you should go to a public library and tell your problem to a librarian - if where you live there are state archives, ask an archivist. Or, ask the Navy. But, I think, people in the local entities could be a better way to find what you need.
      Good luck. ✌

    it’s odd to me when people ask “why is this important” or “why do this” I mean. it’s so simple. you need to be factually educated on history. lol

    it took the certainty for the destcructon of the entire human race
    for them to relent
    except they didnt actually relent, ever
    even in the face of that

      If you care to read books or articles about warfare in 19th century (and before) it was common that armies were followed by women. Wives, lovers - some ladies of the night, or just women who tried to help and serve their cause the best they could. They cooked, they tended to the wounded. Also, they were in the battlefield, giving water to the soldiers. That's why the French (and the Americans, I just found out) called them vivandières, and in Chile they were called cantineras (Chilean here; these ones were uniformed, and some of them fought in battle, like Sgt. Candelaria Pérez).
      Check the 2021 movie Vivandière, set in the Civil War, and the book Swords Around a Throne by John R. Elting, about Napoleon's Army. ✌
