Download or read book United States Colored Troop written by Willie Brown and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-03-30 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African American History was always interesting because an important part of it happened in the Civil War. My book will try and clarify many areas that will assist with a better understanding of what actually happened to the USCT. The writer will try and give a complete explanation of what made the USCT unique. This subject was made popular because of the Emancipation Proclamation, which created the United States Colored Troops. Even though it was created by President Lincoln, there were many obstacles to succeed and to fight as soldier. They were to be commanded by a white commanding officer and could not arise above the rank of sergeant. There are several Medal of Honor recipients from the USCT and the US Navy and a list of African American women that made a tremendous contribution to the Union Army. The Civil War couldnt have been won without the infusion of two hundred thousand enlistees of African descent.

This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Civil War, African American war correspondent Thomas Morris Chester was so inspired by the men of the 36th United States Colored Troops that he declared the group to be "a model regiment." Composed primarily of former slaves recruited from Union-occupied areas of eastern North Carolina and southeastern Virginia, the 36th USCT participated in large-scale expeditions to liberate slaves, guarded Confederate prisoners at major POW camps, served in the trenches before Petersburg and Richmond, and stood as one of the first units to enter the abandoned Confederate capital on April 3, 1865. This volume, which includes a complete regimental roster, explores the background of these former slaves and their families, examines their initial recruitment and chronicles their military contributions throughout the war. More than a unit history, the story of the 36th USCT offers a vivid portrait of the challenging transition from slavery to freedom.

This book was released on 2021-08-24 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronicles the Civil War experience of a representative African American regiment The Black Civil War Soldiers of Illinois tells the story of the Twenty-ninth United States Colored Infantry, one of almost 150 African American regiments to fight in the Civil War and the only such unit assembled by the state of Illinois. The Twenty-ninth took part in the famous Battle of the Crater at Petersburg, joined Grant's forces in the siege of Richmond, and stood on the battlefield when Lee surrendered at Appomattox. In this comprehensive examination of the unit's composition, contribution, and postwar fate, Edward A. Miller, Jr., demonstrates the value of the Twenty-ninth as a means of understanding the Civil War experience of African American soldiers, including the prejudice that shaped their service. Miller details the formation of the Twenty-ninth, its commendable performance but incompetent leadership during the Petersburg battle, and the refilling of its ranks, mostly by black enlistees who served as substitutes for drafted white men. He recounts the unit's role in the final campaign against the Army of Northern Virginia; its final, needless mission to the Texas border; the tragic postwar fate of most of its officers; and the continued discrimination and economic hardship endured after the war by the soldiers.

Download or read book Strike the Blow for Freedom written by James M. Paradis and published by White Mane Publishing Company. This book was released on 1998 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Civil War, many African Americans were eager to strike a blow for freedom long before American public opinion was ready to support the fighting efforts of the Sable Arm. The 6th Regiment of United States Colored Infantry fought a war against prejudice as well as the Confederacy. At first, their mission brought them little recognition and glory as they struggled through rain and mud in a series of grueling marches and faced the arduous task of digging the infamous Dutch Gap Canal, moving tons of earth by hand as Confederate shells fell among the workers. At last, the regiment became involved in the crucial campaigns against Petersburg and Richmond, and took part in the assault against the Confederate Goliath, Fort Fisher, North Carolina. The African Americans' greatest ordeal and demonstration of courage came during the battle of New Market Heights, where their charge through withering opposing fire resulted in frightful casualties and the winning of the Congressional Medal of Honor by three soldiers.
Download or read book Eagles on Their Buttons written by Versalle F. Washington and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eagles on Their Buttons is a fascinating examination of the Fifth Regiment of Infantry, United States Colored Troops -- the Union Army's first black regiment from Ohio. Although the Fifth USCT was one of more than 150 regiments of black troops making up more than 10 percent of the Union Army at the end of the war, it was unique. The majority of USCT regiments were made up of freed men who viewed the army as an escape from slavery and a chance to take up arms against their former masters. The men serving in the 5th USCT, however, were freemen who were raised in a northern state and saw serving in the army both as a way to gain equal rights under the law and as an opportunity to prove their worth as men.
