The Chicago Board of Trade is the only exchange that can claim to have raised a standing army.
Time for a thread 
1/ On July 6, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln sent out a call for 300,000 volunteers to join the Union Army. 15 days later, the CBOT mustered an artillery battery with 180 soldiers and donated $15,000 (~$400K today)pic.twitter.com/mzrntyc9dG
2/ The CBOT battery joined multiple key battles, including the battle of Stone's River, Chickamauga, and Sherman's march on Atlanta. During the army's service, 10 soldiers were killed in battle and 9 others died of disease, a low number of casualties relative to other units.
3/ After helping secure victory in the Battle of Stone's River, a top Union general gave the CBOT battery special privilege to carry its own colors & flag, the first time such a privilege was given. B.T.B = Board of Trade Battery:pic.twitter.com/c2BxGE6Fbs
4/ The battery continued fighting until April 20th, 1865 - 11 days after the war had officially ended. They finally heard the news after fighting in Macon Georgia that the Confederacy had surrendered.pic.twitter.com/QFwol7ryxG
