Some have claimed that his character in F Troop Bugler Hannibal Dobbs, should not have been a part of the unit, since after the war ended, most Southern white males were ineligible for service in the United States Army. However, Dobbs could have been one of the Southerners who remained loyal to the United States and joined the Union Army--Texas had a rather large contingent of them, one of them being cavalry General John Buford, who helped win the battle of Gettysburg.

Also, since the South was pretty much devastated after the war, many ex-rebels returned home to find no jobs available, so they traveled west and enlisted in the army under a fake name.
