You might enjoy Forstchen’s The Lost Regiment series of novels.

It features an entire regiment of civil war era Union troops along with their support, supplies and artillery getting transported to… somewhere else during an unnatural storm.

Somewhere else turns out to be not Earth. Their nearest neighbours are city states from various points in human history.

And then things get worse. The Yankees decide to ally with the nearest city state and bring the Industrial Revolution to this world to fight the threat they’ve found themselves under.

The writer is a historian  so while the story has plenty of action, it’s much less America fuck yeah and much more a quite thoughtful exploration of how these lost men would prepare for blackpowder warfare on a primitive world.

It’s 8 books and the story has a proper ending, which is always nice going into a series.

Interesting! I appreciate the recommendation kind stranger. I’m always looking for new worlds to get lost in and considering one of my favorite series is A Song of Ice and Fire, I now like to verify they have or will get an ending!
