Civil War buffs can take a hands-on role in preserving the legacy of the “United States Colored Troops” by serving as “citizen archivists,” making sure these soldiers’ military records, and other historical documents, are safeguarded and shared with the public.
“Since the time of the American Revolution, African Americans have volunteered to serve their country in time of war,” wrote National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) volunteer Budge Weidman in an article about the project. “The Civil War was no exception — official sanction was the difficulty.”
The project inviting citizens to help tag, transcribe and comment on the service records of those who served in the USCT grew out of a larger archival effort to microfilm the Civil War records of Union volunteer soldiers, Weidman said. (She noted that NARA records of those who served the Confederacy during the Civil War — which began April 12, 1861, and ended April 9, 1865 — are already on microfilm.)
Archivists estimate that 185,000 people served in the USCT, a figure that includes Black troops and officers who were not Black, according to Weidman.
From slavery to military service
Black History Month is an occasion to share the remarkable story of African American military service uncovered by this volunteer Civil War Conservation Corps and official NARA archivists. Thanks to them, these records are forever more accessible to any student of history, whenever they’re ready to unearth the unsung tales of Black service members’ bravery and sacrifice.
When they do, they’ll discover people like Charles Sprout, an African American born in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, who toiled in servitude on the slave-run farm of J. Horace Lacey.
A simple notation in Sprout’s file, “Free Apl 18/61,” indicates that he fled bondage at age 19 in 1861 — at the start of the war but two years before the 1863 issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation.
At age 21, after just two years as a free man, Sprout on Dec. 12 arrived at Fort Monroe, Virginia, to volunteer for a three-year tour in the Union Army. He became a private in the 1st United States Colored Calvary and served until 1866, his records show.
After the war, Sprout moved to a place called Wilderness Tavern, Virginia, not far from the Fredericksburg plantation he fled in his late teen years, according to a NARA video about his story.
Sprout worked at the tavern and, in 1897, married Fannie Ward. The couple’s only child appeared to have been an adopted son, according to a listing on Find A Grave (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/15938941/charles-sprout).
In the post-war years, Sprout received a small monthly pension of $6 as compensation for his service-related injuries and ailments, which included heart and back problems.
Sprout repeatedly submitted medical evidence to increase that sum, the records show (https://catalog.archives.gov/id/76061018). By 1908, as Sprout entered his 60s, his pension had doubled to $12 a month. By his seventies, he was receiving $50 a month in pension payments.
Following his death on Feb. 13, 1926, Sprout was buried in the Fredericksburg National Cemetery alongside over 15,000 other Union soldiers and sailors laid to rest there.
“I think it’s very important for us to have someone like Charles Sprout here,” a National Park Service ranger says in the video, “because he almost epitomizes what the Civil War was all about.”
Bringing service histories to life
Along with thousands of other African American service members who fought to preserve the Union, Sprout’s story — of fleeing slavery, putting his life on the line to end it, and living and working near where he was once enslaved — is told through original muster rolls, returns, books and morning reports, and medical files.
“To have a file of documents and information like that which exists for Charles Sprout is really integral for us to be able to go ahead and share those stories with the public,” the ranger says.

What of the Black soldiers of the Confederacy??
There were several battles in which colored troops from both sides were engaged in battle.

SPC Will Thorson we're Talking about when Americans fought Americans. From an Historical Perspective. Without the EmOtIoNs you seem to put into it. Once we fully understand a thing, we can make ways to have it not happen again.
Are you this emotional about Politics? If so, you're part of the Problem.
Too many people use their emotions and think it's Life or death that their side/ team/ person/ or even an animal must prevail or all heck's going to break loose. It just ain't so.
Politics goes back and forth. Sometimes one issue being dealt with is singled out by the media... and most people get irate when this issue is raised. Whatever the issue De Jour is at the Time. And we take up sides and argue it out amongst ourselves. Them scare the voters tactics are employed , usually with half truths and propaganda . And emotions come into play. Then we call each-other names and go all out . Even threats of physical harm and inferences of " i wouldn't do that if I were you ! " are made. Over some thing as unimportant as a tweet made by a politician.
Let's stop with the "
Left /Right nonsense and and get back to being Americans FIRST . All the other BS can just be flushed away.
And with dealing with History, don't get emotional when the History is over 50 years ago. Or however many years ago.
Just look at it from the Present. And don't get emotional when any 2 or more peopl are talking about it without Remembering how tragic it was. I hear you complaining but i don't hear any solutions coming from you other than in a round about way saying " shut up , your horrible people discussing " x" just stop and remember the feelings of those involved... "
Get over it. Get past the Emotion of it. Discuss History in a way that you discuss a little league baseball team. Who you don't have a person on it.
It's not Life or death.
It's History.

[quote]SgtMaj Henry Sinclair - I am sincerely grateful for your attention to this matter. I want to share my childhood story. We lived with my parents in the small town of Sedona, in the state of Arizona. Living next to us was an elderly man named Dawit Samuel; he was very kind but lonely. Over time, I became very close to him and learned that he had escaped slavery and, at the age of 18, joined the Civil War. He shared various stories, but what struck me the most was how someone could hate another person solely because of the color of their skin. At that time, I decided to write a novel about him. However, I only remembered this. To not waste any more time, I published my memoir on https://eduhelper/essay-samples/civil-war - free essay examples. It may seem inappropriate to write about such things on the internet. Still, I carefully considered this decision, believing that providing help for students with their assignments could influence the new generation. I'll leave the link below; perhaps someone will be interested in reading it. Please, do not hesitate to share your ideas on how I can improve my essay.[/quote]
You have addressed a truly important topic—what happened to the Black soldiers of the Confederacy after the Civil War. How did they integrate into society, and what was their role during the Reconstruction period?
This topic is worth attention as it allows us to explore the complex aspects of history and the role of African Americans in the Civil War, shedding light on issues of racial relations and socio-cultural aspects of that time.

3.) 1945 Black veterans return from World War II
In many ways returned Black World War II veterans changed the climate of the South by taking up the deliberate and concerted work of dismantling white supremacy. On July 2, 1946, for example, twenty-one-year-old Medgar Evers, his brother Charles, and four other Black World War II veterans, went to the courthouse in Decatur, Mississippi to vote. They had been the first Black people there to attempt to register to vote since Reconstruction. The six veterans had returned home after fighting for democracy in France and England to find that they were still only second-class citizens.
When they arrived at the courthouse that election day, fifteen to twenty armed white men were waiting for them. So, Evers and his comrades went home to get their guns. The mob was still waiting when they returned to the courthouse, and the six veterans decided not to fight or vote that day. But that wasn’t the end. Both Medgar and his brother would go on to become important leaders in Mississippi’s Freedom Movement, Medgar especially, providing crucial support to SNCC and CORE.
While the United States denounced Hitler’s ideas of Aryan “supremacy” in Europe, U.S. hypocrisy was exposed to Black servicemen and Black civilians alike because Black people remained second-class citizens in the military and at home. Across the country, Black Americans adopted the “Double V” campaign, demanding victory abroad against fascism and victory at home over white supremacy.

Amn Dale Preisach
A1C Medrick "Rick" DeVaney comparing a country steeped in keeping the majority of its people undereducated/ uneducated was massive for South Africa. The Black citizens were not even allowed to drive a Car.
The system of Apartheid was so distinct in keeping the White South Africans the only citizens free to do whatever in daily Life and the Black citizens regulated and subordinate, No one could expect them to go from third world subsistence to First world prominence in 50 years, let alone 25.
The amount of progress that they have made is astounding. But more needs to happen. Education and tech schools and affordable colleges are all necessary and more than just in order.
At this point in time, South Africa as a Nation is much like Kenya; both threw off the colonizers , without a sadly necessary transition into the modern World's style of governing and regulations as well as the infrastructure and such that makes a First world country a Modern Country.
The achievements so far have been amazing. But at times tenuous and volatile, the people are enjoying a better way of Life and everything. But the problems of " learning on the job" are many and will take time. So much progress has been made, but more is needed.

1.) What Is the Difference Between Slavery and Indentured Servitude?
By Staff WriterLast Updated April 3, 2020
Indentured servants can be freed after working for a certain period of time. Slaves are not given their freedom, causing them to remain slaves until their owner releases them. Neither slaves or indentured servants are paid during their service.
Indentured servants willingly enter an agreement to work for a specific period of time, up to six years or longer if there is a breach of contract, in exchange for something such as land. The contract of an indentured servant can be sold to an interested third party, but the servant is not considered property of the contract holder. Once the indentured servant is released from his contract at the end of the term, he becomes a recognized part of the community and can own property or vote.
A slave is considered to be the property of his owner. Slaves are not allowed to own property, earn money for their services or vote. A slave can be bought, sold, left as property in a will and has no rights in society. After the Civil War, laws were changed to allow only the contracts of indentured servants, and not the servants themselves, to be considered real property. Both slaves and indentured servants were often used to work in fields at farms and complete other hard manual labor.

1.) A look at the Casual Killing Act of 1669 that made it legal to kill a slave at will :
1669
Virginia passes an act regarding the casual killing of slaves: "If any slave resist his master (or other by his master’s order correcting him) and by the extremity of the correction should chance to die, that his death shall not be accompted felony."

2.) Slave Patrols: An Early Form of American Policing
July 10, 2019 | Authored by Chelsea Hansen
“I [patroller’s name], do swear, that I will as searcher for guns, swords, and other weapons among the slaves in my district, faithfully, and as privately as I can, discharge the trust reposed in me as the law directs, to the best of my power. So help me, God.”
-Slave Patroller’s Oath, North Carolina, 1828.

What Is the Difference Between Slavery and Indentured Servitude?
Indentured servants can be freed after working for a certain period of time. Slaves are not given their freedom, causing them to remain slaves until their owner releases them. Neither slaves or indentured servants are paid during their service.

I’m not understanding your reply/question about your aunt’s occupation … that’s more of an internal family question.

This includes victims of forced labor, debt bondage, domestic servitude, human trafficking, child labor, forced marriage, and descent-based slavery.

The 13th Amendment Legalization of ongoing Slavery :
The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution declared that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." Formally abolishing slavery in the United States, the 13th Amendment was passed by the Congress on January 31, 1865, and ratified by the states on December 6, 1865.
*The 13th Amendment makes it clear that slavey is legal with one simple word : “Except”.

Article one, section two of the Constitution of the United States declared that any person who was not free would be counted as three-fifths of a free individual for the purposes of determining congressional representation. The "Three-Fifths Clause" thus increased the political power of slaveholding states.

1.) Black Soldiers in the U.S. Military During the Civil War
Background
"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."
Frederick Douglass
Volunteers began to respond, and in May 1863 the Government established the Bureau of Colored Troops to manage the burgeoning numbers of black soldiers.
By the end of the Civil War, roughly 179,000 black men (10% of the Union Army) served as soldiers in the U.S. Army and another 19,000 served in the Navy.
Nearly 40,000 black soldiers died over the course of the war—30,000 of infection or disease. Black soldiers served in artillery and infantry and performed all noncombat support functions that sustain an army, as well. Black carpenters, chaplains, cooks, guards, laborers, nurses, scouts, spies, steamboat pilots, surgeons, and teamsters also contributed to the war cause.
There were nearly 80 black commissioned officers. Black women, who could not formally join the Army, nonetheless served as nurses, spies, and scouts, the most famous being Harriet Tubman (photo citation: 200-HN-PIO-1), who scouted for the 2d South Carolina Volunteers.
Because of prejudice against them, black units were not used in combat as extensively as they might have been.
Nevertheless, the soldiers served with distinction in a number of battles. Black infantrymen fought gallantly at Milliken's Bend, LA; Port Hudson, LA; Petersburg, VA; and Nashville, TN. The July 1863 assault on Fort Wagner, SC, in which the 54th Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteers lost two-thirds of their officers and half of their troops, was memorably dramatized in the film Glory.
By war's end, 16 black soldiers had been awarded the Medal of Honor for their valor.

2.) The Highest Ranking Black Officer in the Civil War
The highest ranking of those Black officers was Alexander Thomas Augusta, who left the U.S. Army in 1866 with the rank of brevet lieutenant colonel.
