Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Always in need of more men, the Union Army began enlisting African Americans about half way through the 1861-65 Civil War. Most were runaway slaves, but there were also a number of free black men, some who had been drafted, and some who had been paid to substitute for someone else, a controversial practice allowed during the war. The new African American units were designated the U. S.Colored Troops, consisting of 120 Infantry Regiments, 12 Heavy Artillery Regiments, 10 Heavy Artillery Batteries, and 7 Cavalry Regiments. This book profiles the 1,151 soldiers in one of the infantry regiments, Maryland's 19th Regiment. The information is taken from the soldiers' military service and pension records at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. Training of the 19th Regiment took place during the winter of 1863-64 at Camp Stanton near the port town of Benedict, Maryland on the Patuxent River, followed by two months in Baltimore in the Spring of 1864. In mid-April, the regiment marched to Washington, crossed the Potomac River into Virginia, and joined up with General Grant's Army of the Potomac. As Grant's army fought its way south towards Richmond and Petersburg during May and June 1864, the 19th Regiment saw action at the battles of the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Topolotomy Creek, North Anna, Cold Harbor, and Old Church. Arriving at Petersburg, the 19th Regiment joined other Union troops in the trenches outside that besieged city. During the siege of Petersburg, the regiment saw action at the battles of Weldon Railroad, Poplar Grove Church, Bermuda Hundred, Chapin's Farm, and Hatcher's Run. The regiment's largest battle was as part of the Union Army's July 30, 1864 assault against Confederate forces outside Petersburg, Virginia. Many of its men were killed, wounded, or taken prisoner. The assault was recorded in military records at the time as the Battle of Cemetery Hill or the Battle of the Mine, but in later years was popularized as the Battle of the Crater. The fall of Petersburg came eight months later. On April 1st, General Grant sent the 19th and other regiments from Petersburg to attack Richmond. Sensing defeat, General Lee pulled his Confederate troops from Petersburg and Richmond the next day, retreating westward towards Appomattox. Early in the morning of April 3rd, the 19th Regiment's soldiers were among the first to enter Richmond. Captain James H. Rickard, commanding Company G, wrote in his company report that day: Advanced on the enemy's works at 6 AM. Found they had evacuated Richmond. On April 9th, General Lee surrendered his army to General Grant about 50 miles west of Richmond at Appomattox Courthouse. All remaining Confederate Army units still in the field surrendered over the course of the next two weeks, and the great Civil War was over. But military service was not over for the men of the 19th Regiment. Their term of enlistment was three years. Unlike most white regiments that had been formed earlier in the war, the men of the 19th Regiment had served barely half their three-year enlistment when the war ended. Instead of disbanding the regiment as the men had hoped, the regiment was sent to Texas as an occupation force to preserve order in the formerly Confederate state, and to protect the rights of the former slaves in that state. The regiment served in Texas from June 24, 1865 to January 15, 1867. It then sailed back to Baltimore, arriving on February 7, 1867. The men disembarked, received their final pay and discharge papers, and went home. Free at last. The entire number of men serving in the U.S. Colored Troops during the Civil War was 186,097. By the time the war was over, 68,178 of these brave men were lost from all causes.
Book Synopsis Freedom by the Sword by : William A. Dobak
Download or read book Freedom by the Sword written by William A. Dobak and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Civil War changed the United States in many ways—economic, political, and social. Of these changes, none was more important than Emancipation. Besides freeing nearly four million slaves, it brought agricultural wage labor to a reluctant South and gave a vote to black adult males in the former slave states. It also offered former slaves new opportunities in education, property ownership—and military service. From late 1862 to the spring of 1865, as the Civil War raged on, the federal government accepted more than 180,000 black men as soldiers, something it had never done before on such a scale. Known collectively as the United States Colored Troops and organized in segregated regiments led by white officers, some of these soldiers guarded army posts along major rivers; others fought Confederate raiders to protect Union supply trains, and still others took part in major operations like the Siege of Petersburg and the Battle of Nashville. After the war, many of the black regiments took up posts in the former Confederacy to enforce federal Reconstruction policy. Freedom by the Sword tells the story of these soldiers' recruitment, organization, and service. Thanks to its broad focus on every theater of the war and its concentration on what black soldiers actually contributed to Union victory, this volume stands alone among histories of the U.S. Colored Troops.

Book Synopsis Camp Nelson, Kentucky by : Richard D. Sears
Download or read book Camp Nelson, Kentucky written by Richard D. Sears and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-07-11 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Camp Nelson, Kentucky, was designed in 1863 as a military supply depot for the Union Army. Later it became one of the country's most important recruiting stations and training camps for black soldiers and Kentucky's chief center for issuing emancipation papers to former slaves. Richard D. Sears tells the story of the rise and fall of the camp through the shifting perspective of a changing cast of characters -- teachers, civilians, missionaries such as the Reverend John G. Fee, and fleeing slaves and enlisted blacks who describe their pitiless treatment at the hands of slave owners and Confederate sympathizers. Sears fully documents the story of Camp Nelson through carefully selected military orders, letters, newspaper articles, and other correspondence, most inaccessible until now. His introduction provides a historical overview, and textual notes identify individuals and detail the course of events.
Book Synopsis The Fifth Massachusetts Colored Cavalry in the Civil War by : Steven M. LaBarre
Download or read book The Fifth Massachusetts Colored Cavalry in the Civil War written by Steven M. LaBarre and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-07-13 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In January 1863, a long-anticipated military order arrived on the desk of Massachusetts Governor John Andrew. President Lincoln's secretary of war, Edwin Stanton, had granted the governor authority to raise regiments of black soldiers. Two units--the 54th and 55th Massachusetts Infantry--were soon mustered and in December, Andrew issued General Order No. 44, announcing "a Regiment of Cavalry Volunteers, to be composed of men of color...is now in the process of recruitment in the Commonwealth." Drawing on letters, diaries, memoirs and official reports, this book provides the first full-length regimental history of the Fifth Massachusetts Cavalry--its organization, participation in the Petersburg campaign and the guarding of prisoners at Point Lookout, Maryland, and its triumphant ride into Richmond. Accounts of the postwar lives of many of the men are included.
Book Synopsis The Army and Reconstruction, 1865-1877 by : United States Army
Download or read book The Army and Reconstruction, 1865-1877 written by United States Army and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-05-15 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within two months of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House on 9 April 1865, the Confederacy had collapsed, and its armed forces had ceased to exist. In the spring of 1865, the U.S. Army faced the unprecedented task of occupying eleven conquered Southern states and administering "Reconstruction"-the process by which the former rebellious states would be restored to the Union. But a rapid demobilization of the Army placed the remaining occupation troops at a disadvantage almost from the start.This brochure traces the Army's law enforcement, stability, and peacekeeping roles in the South from May 1865 to the end of Reconstruction in 1877, marking a unique period in American history. During that time, the Southern states remained under military occupation, and for several years, they were also ruled by military government. Veteran Army commanders such as Philip H. Sheridan, John M. Schofield, Daniel E. Sickles, Edward R. S. Canby, and Winfield S. Hancock may have found the work of Reconstruction less dangerous than fighting the Civil War had been, but they also found it no less challenging.
Book Synopsis Forgotten Black Soldiers Who Served in White Regiments During the Civil War by : Juanita Patience Moss
Download or read book Forgotten Black Soldiers Who Served in White Regiments During the Civil War written by Juanita Patience Moss and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1998, the author learned about a new monument in Washington, D.C., created to honor the black soldiers and sailors who had served in the Civil War. What she was about to learn; however, was that her great grandfather's name would not be among those remembered there. Why not? Because he had not served in one of the segregated units whose members' names are engraved on the memorial wall. Instead, Crowder Pacien/Patience had served in a white regiment. An identifiably "Col'd" man, he had been a private in the 103rd Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. After having been told that there had been no black soldiers serving in white regiments, the author made a hypothesis that if there had been one such black soldier in a white regiment, as she knew, then there might have been others. This series traces the author's journey to such proof. The hundreds of names listed here should be proof enough for the "nay-sayers" to conclude that black men indeed did serve in white regiments. Chapters in Volume II include: Difficulties with Finding Facts, C-Span Book TV Presentation, Mixed Race Regiments, Honoring Civil War Ancestors, Recruitment of Black Soldiers, General Orders No. 323 and the Undercooks, Three Undercooks Garrisoned at Plymouth, N.C., A Trip to the Carlisle Barracks, Finding the Gravesites of Black Soldiers, A Gravesite Lost in North Carolina, One Descendant's Determination, and Conclusion. Chapters are followed by lists: Additional Black Soldiers Alphabetized, Additional Black Soldiers by States, and Final Resting Places. Numerous photographs and illustrations, End Notes, Sources, and an index to full-names, subjects and places add to the value of this work. Historians and Civil War "buffs" alike will find new information revealed in this series, even though so many years have passed since the last shot of the war was fired.
