I believe that only one was broken during the entire Peninsular War , for example.
I’m also trying to remember the mention of squares and the ability of Confederate units to form into them from Fremantle’s ‘Three Months in the Southern States’.
I remember reading about the possibility of squares at Gettysburg on the First Day (possibly in David Martin’s wonderful book) but the breakdown of the accounts in this article is really excellent and helps figure the situation out.
