Book Synopsis Maryland's Black Civil War Soldiers by : Robert K. Summers
Download or read book Maryland's Black Civil War Soldiers written by Robert K. Summers and published by Robert Summers. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maryland's Black Civil War Soldiers contains information on each of the soldiers in Maryland's 19th Regiment, U.S. Colored Troops, Union Army, during the American Civil War. The information is taken from the soldiers' military and pension files at the U.S. National Archives, and contains letters, medical records, affidavits, and a variety of other information about the soldiers' lives before, during, and after their military service. Most of the soldiers had been slaves before enlisting. When Private Jacob Butler, Company E, was a 4-year-old slave child, he was owned by Richard Gardiner of Charles County, Maryland. When Gardiner died in 1848, an inventory of his estate listed young Jacob as worth $125. Gardiner's brother William purchased Jacob for $100. When William died, Jacob passed to William's sister Frances Helen Gardiner. In 1864, 18-year-old Jacob Butler ran away from the Gardiner farm and enlisted in the 19th Regiment. He survived the war, passing away many years later in 1912. Mildy Finnick, Company K, ran away from his Maryland slave owner to join the 19th Regiment, was taken prisoner during the Battle of the Crater at Petersburg, Virginia, sold back into slavery to a Virginia doctor/farmer, escaped from his new slave owner, found his way back to the regiment, was promoted, finished his service with the regiment in Texas, married, raised children, and is now buried in a place of honor with his comrades at Arlington National Cemetery near the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Lemuel Dobbs, Company C, was shot in the chest at the Battle of the Crater, taken prisoner, sent to the Confederate prison at Columbia, South Carolina, tunneled out of the prison, and made his way to the Union Army lines at Knoxville, Tennessee 41 days later. Asbury Murphy, Company E, and David Mars, Company C, were also taken prisoner at the Battle of the Crater. They were sent to the notorious Salisbury, North Carolina prisoner of war camp where they died and were buried, unmarked, in one of the prison’s mass burial trenches. Richard Combs, Company A, was wounded in the right arm by an exploding shell at the Battle of the Crater. He lived for a while after the war in Washington, D.C., then re-enlisted in the 10th Cavalry (Buffalo Soldiers), and fought in the Indian wars out West. He went with the 10th Cavalry to Cuba where he fought with Teddy Roosevelt’s “Rough Riders” at the battles of Kettle Hill and San Juan Hill. He retired from the Army in 1904, living with his wife in Nebraska until he died in 1911. More than a thousand men served in the 19th Regiment. Each one of them is profiled in this book.

This book was released on 2017-02-23 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Includes pictures*Includes accounts of the battles written by black soldiers*Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading*Includes a table of contents"Who would be free themselves must strike the blow....I urge you to fly to arms and smite to death the power that would bury the Government and your liberty in the same hopeless grave. This is your golden opportunity." - Frederick DouglassAfter the Battle of Fort Sumter made clear that there would be war between the North and South, support for both the Union and Confederacy rose. Two days after the surrender of the fort, President Abraham Lincoln issued a call-to-arms asking for 75,000 volunteers, a request that would rely on Northern states to organize and train their men. While most Americans had hoped to avert war, many abolitionists had come to view war as inevitable, and the news from Fort Sumter suggested a chance to rectify the country's original sin through the defeat of the South. Though abolitionists were a minority that was mostly confined to New England and often branded as radicals, they had long sought to end slavery and secure basic civil rights for blacks. One of the most famous abolitionists, the escaped slave Frederick Douglass, realized immediately what kind of opportunity the Civil War presented to all blacks, whether they were slaves or free: "Once let the black man get upon his person the brass letter, U.S., let him get an eagle on his button, and a musket on his shoulder and bullets in his pocket, there is no power on earth that can deny that he has earned the right to citizenship."In 1861, Lincoln was particularly concerned about alienating the border slave states that had not joined the Confederacy, particularly Kentucky and Missouri. The fighting at Fort Sumter had already driven Virginia into the Confederacy, and Lincoln rightly worried that the conscription of black soldiers might alienate whites in the North and the border states. As he famously put it, "I hope to have God on my side, but I must have Kentucky." When Generals John C. Fr�mont and David Hunter issued proclamations emancipating slaves in their military regions and permitting them to sign up for active duty, the Lincoln Administration swiftly and sternly revoked their orders. Ultimately, and perhaps not surprisingly, the War Department would only change its tune once it felt that doing so was a military necessity. Most notably, even before Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, the Union had organized its first black regiment; in July of 1862, General David Hunter, the same one whose emancipation order had caused a political crisis in 1861, impressed slaves in the South Carolina Sea Islands and enlisted them in the Union Army to deprive the Confederates of the ability to rely on them. While it was obviously a sensitive issue to emancipate slaves in border states, Lincoln clearly understood the military value gained by adding Southern slaves to the Union war effort, and it was a logical stepping stone from Hunter's actions to simply recruiting blacks to aid the North.In time, the addition of black soldiers would help turn the tide of the war, adding hundreds of thousands of soldiers to the ranks, and the U.S. Colored Troops would fight in some of the most famous battles of the war, including at Fort Wagner, Fort Pillow, and at the Battle of the Crater during the siege of Petersburg. While there continues to be controversy over the way Southern slaves were utilized by the Confederacy, it's unquestionable that freedmen and escaped slaves were crucial to lifting the North to victory from 1863-1865.The United States Colored Troops: The History and Legacy of the Black Soldiers Who Fought in the American Civil War traces the development of black regiments during the war and the impact they had on the second half of it.
Book Synopsis Ohio's Black Soldiers who Served in the Civil War by : Eric Eugene Johnson
Download or read book Ohio's Black Soldiers who Served in the Civil War written by Eric Eugene Johnson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ohio's Black soldiers have always been in the forefront of this nation's wars and the American Civil War is no exception. The state raised two infantry regiments for the United States Colored Troops during this war and then sent recruits to other regiments organizing in the South. Over 6,700 Black Ohioans served in this war and the names of many of these men have been lost until now. The Official Roster of the Soldiers of the State of Ohio in the War of the Rebellion, 1861-1866 has the rosters for the two Black regiments and additionally, the names of 1,007 more men who were listed as being unassigned to a regiment for a total of 5,092 men. This roster simply states "no further record found" for these men. The author has researched each man using the Compiled Military Service Records of Colored Troops and he has been able to identify the regiments in which these other men were assigned. In the process he was also able to identify over 1,600 more Black Ohioans who are not listed in the Official Roster of the Soldiers of the State of Ohio in the War of the Rebellion, 1861-1866. Besides listing the name of each soldier and his regiment, this book also lists the company, rank, age, birth place, enlistment and discharge information, and death and burial information if occurred during the war. The author was also able to identify a number of Blacks who served with Ohio's white volunteers both as combatants and non-combatants.

Book Synopsis Edward A. Wild and the African Brigade in the Civil War by : Frances Harding Casstevens
Download or read book Edward A. Wild and the African Brigade in the Civil War written by Frances Harding Casstevens and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward Wild, the controversial Union general who headed the all-black African Brigade in the Civil War, was one of the most loved and most hated figures of the 19th century. The man was neither understood nor appreciated by military or civilian, black or white, Northerner or Southerner. After enlisting at the outbreak of the war, Wild was promoted to Brigadier General and placed in charge of the United States Colored Troops. In fulfilling his assignment to free slaves and gain recruits, he took three women as hostages and ordered a great deal of property destruction. He freed hundreds, perhaps thousands, of slaves and settled them safely on Roanoke Island. Wild then not only recruited the newly freed blacks but trained them and gave them the opportunity to prove their worth in battle. Nobody, it seems, was happy about serving with them, but the African Brigade performed courageously in several battles. Wild did some inexplicable things. Were his actions typical of the 19th century or did he act outside the norm? Was the criticism he suffered from his fellow Union officers valid--or was it due to personality conflicts? Did he deserve to be arrested, court-martialed, and even wiped from the history books--or was he the victim of discrimination? This work draws its answers from extensive research and includes many rare letters to and from Wild, including one from one of the North Carolinian hostages.

Download or read book Maryland's Black Civil War Soldiers written by Robert Summers and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-31 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of Maryland's 19th Regiment, U.S. Colored Troops, during the Civil War. The enlisted men were black, mostly escaped slaves. The officers were white. They suffered and died together. Many were killed in action, died from their wounds, died in prisoner of war camps, or died from disease. Many of those who survived their service suffered for the rest of their lives from battlefield wounds and amputations, or the effects of malaria, scurvy, cholera, chronic dysentery, typhoid fever, acute rheumatic fever, pneumonia, measles, blindness, hearing loss, and other illnesses contracted during their service. The 19th Regiment trained in Maryland during the winter of 1863-64, and fought in Virginia until General Lee surrendered. The regiment took part in the bloody Battle of the Crater at Petersburg, Virginia, and was among the first units to enter and occupy Richmond when Lee abandoned it. After the war, the regiment was posted to Texas where it kept the peace along the Mexican border. The men returned to Maryland when the regiment was disbanded in January 1867, but not everyone stayed home. Alfred Dennis (Company K) enlisted in the 10th Cavalry, known as the Buffalo Soldiers, and served five years in Oklahoma Indian Territory. Richard Combs (Company A) also joined the 10th Cavalry. He fought the Indians in Texas, and went to Cuba in 1898 with the 10th Cavalry and Teddy Roosevelt to fight at San Juan Hill. Others also returned to live out their final years in Texas.The book includes similar profiles on the lives of each of the 1,142 soldiers who served in the 19th Regiment.
