"First and Last Dress Review of 1st Regiment South Carolinian (Negro) Volunteers," 1862
Add to SetSummary
As the Civil War wore on, the Union army desperately needed reinforcements and began to actively recruit African Americans. Separated into their own regiments, African Americans fought bravely--often surprising those who led them. This, the first South Carolina Volunteer Infantry, was praised by its leaders after raiding Confederate picket posts, salt works, and sawmills along the Georgia/Florida coast.
