  • The Burial of United States Colored Troops at Arlington National Cemetery
    THE BURIAL OF UNITED STATES COLORED TROOPS AT ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY by George W. Dodge Medal of Honor Recipients On May 22, 1863, the United States War Department established the Bureau of Colored Troops for recruiting African-Americans, commissioning officers and organizing federal regiments. During the Civil War, approximately 179,000 African- Americans served in the U.S. Army as members of the United States Colored Troops and an additional 10,000 served in the U.S. Navy. 1 This repre­ sented about 10% of all Union forces. Hundreds of United States Colored Troops are buried at Arlington National Cemetery. The following is a story of certain African- American soldiers and sailors (hereinafter referred to as colored or black soldiers and sailors consistent with the terminology of the Civil War era) that eternally rest at the nation's most renowned military cemetery. The Medal of Honor was awarded to sixteen black infantrymen for their conduct during the Civil War. Two recipients are buried in Arlington National Cemetery: Sergeant James H. Harris of the 38th United States Colored Troops . in Section 27 and Sergeant Milton M. Holland of the 5th United States Col­ ored Troops in Section 23, grave 21713. Harris, a native of St. Mary's County, Maryland, was bestowed the Medal of Honor for "gallantry in the assault" at New Market Heights, Virginia, on September 29, 1864. Leading Company C of the 5th USCT to victory at the Battle of New Market Heights, or Chaffin's Farm, was Milton Holland, a former slave.2 Milton Holland was born in 1844 at Austin, Texas.

  • African American Soldiers at the Battle of Fort Wagner, 1863 Introduction
    1 African American soldiers at the Battle of Fort Wagner, 1863 Introduction On July 18, 1863, on Morris Island near Charleston, South Carolina, the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, a Union regiment of free African American men, began their assault on Fort Wagner, a Confederate stronghold. After the Civil War, a sergeant of the 54th, William Harvey Carney, became the first African American to be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for taking up the fallen Union flag and carrying it to the fort’s walls. Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, the commander of the regiment, was killed in the charge, along with 116 of his men, and the Union forces failed to capture the fort. Shaw, an abolitionist born to a prominent Boston family, had been recruited by Massachusetts governor John Andrew to raise and command the all-black regiment, the first regiment of African Americans recruited in the North. Shortly after the battle, the printing firm of Currier and Ives commemorated the 54th’s charge, portraying black soldiers carrying the Union flag over the fort’s ramparts and into the Confederate phalanx. The Gilder Lehrman Collection has one of the few surviving copies of this print. Questions for Discussion Read the introduction, look at the image, and apply your knowledge of American history in order to answer these questions. You may also wish to discuss the image with an art teacher. 1. What techniques did Currier and Ives use to illustrate the courage of the combatants and the intensity of the battle at Fort Wagner? 2. Why was the Massachusetts 54th selected to spearhead the charge against the rebel fortifications? 3.

NULTY A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1985 Copyright 1985 by William H. Nulty ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my chairman, Dr. Samuel Proctor, for his guidance, encouragement, patience, tolerance, and generosity with his time. Without his enthusiasm, incisive criticism, and many suggestions, this project would have faltered. I would also like to thank my graduate committee members, Drs. Lyle McAlister, Bertram Wyatt-Brown, Harry W. Paul of the History Department and Dr. J. W. Longstreth of the College of Education. Their professional accomplishments and attitudes have set standards I hope to emulate. I wish to express my gratitude to Elizabeth Alexander, Stephen Kerber, and the staff of the P.K. Yonge Library of Florida History, University of Florida, the St. Augustine Historical Society, the Florida Historical Society in Tampa, the Florida State Library at Tallahassee, Charlotte Ray of the Georgia State Archives, and Franklin M. Garrett of the Atlanta Historical Society. All were of great assistance in my research and consistently courteous and helpful. I wish to thank the other graduate students for their professional comraderie and assistance in so many ways. I am indebted to Dr. Kermit Hall of the History Department who was particularly inspirational in his instruction and encouraging in his assistance. PREFACE There are numerous references within this work to persons of African descent. Within the context of events during the nineteenth century, the word "colored" appears in several references to certain military units or personages as was common usage during that period.
