I stand corrected and informed, though I could just blame Google.
Not at all, either one is used. I just posted the more formal quote from the author of the Roman Military manual "De re militari".
It was likely said by others without attribution.

Most countries remained neutral with respect to the American Civil War. However, soldiers from many nationalities participated in the conflict. During the years leading up to the war, immigrants from Britain, Ireland, Germany, Eastern Europe and many other countries flooded into the States. Some of them where already here when war started and others came over to join in the conflict, either from philosophical or economic reasons. There were far more non-Americans who fought on the side of the North than the Confederacy, but that is to be expected as immigrants typically came in through New York harbor and tended to remain in the Northern states, where weather conditions were more like Europe.
