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.
"The story of the 4th United States Colored Infantry and their experiences during the Civil War"--
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.
The Corps De Afrique. United States Colored Volunteers, 22nd Regiment Infantry was organized at New Orleans, La., September 30, 1863. For the first nine months the unit served as guards at various points. The Designation of the Regiment was changed to the 92nd United States Colored Troops, April 4, 1864. They participated in various battles including the Red River Campaign and mustered out December 31, 1865.
