The United States Colored Troops
[ send me this paper ]
This 8 page report discusses the involvement of African-American troops and regiments in the Civil War. The struggle for the right to become a "Colored Yankee Soldier" lasted for two years of the Civil War before President Lincoln knew that the time had finally come to take advantage of the many "colored" soldiers willing but not allowed to fight. Initially, the president and his advisors hesitated as to whether or not it was "safe" to place guns in the hands of black men. Doing so might elevate them to a status white America would be unwilling to abide. In 1863, soon after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, Frederick Douglass called out: "Men of Color, to arms!" Approximately 200,000 answered that call. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
