- 2nd Rhode Island Infantry
The Second Rhode Island Infantry Regiment was a infantry regiment composed of volunteers from the state of Rhode Island that served with the Union Army in the American Civil War.
The regiment was organized in June 1861 in Providence. The regiment was initially assigned to the IV Corps of the Army of Northeastern Virginia (later became the Army of the Potomac) and saw its first combat action at the First Battle of Bull Run. The IV Corps later became the 6th Corps of the Army of the Shenandoah, and the 2nd Rhode Island participated in several fights in the Shenandoah Valley. The regiment was mustered out of service at Hall's Hill, Virginia, on July 13, 1865.
