Renard The selection and preparation of white officers for the command of black troops in the American Civil War: A study of the 41st and 100th U.S. Colored Infantry Paul D. Renard ABSTRACT American Civil War officer preparation activities were rooted in the broader practices of antebellum military education as applied at West Point, other military academies, and the state militia system. The arrival of black troops in the Union Army led to a radical, if temporary, transformation in the Army’s process for the selection and preparation of officers—but only for the white officers who served with black regiments. Overtly political or casual processes of the early Civil War were replaced in many cases by formal examinations and the centralized review of results, operating in parallel with more traditional political patronage systems of appointment. This study uses the experiences of officers from several black infantry regiments, and particularly the 41st U.S.

A set of cadet regulations existed and was being used. However, it covered only a small portion of the informa- tion that the cadets should have. This need for a complete booklet of information was addi- tionally noticed by the author in working with cadets in his office, in his classroom, and elsewhere on the campus with such statements as, "Sir, I wish I had known that.'," "I don't know- one person says this, another says that. I don't know where to find the answer about what to do in the Mess Hall. Could you help me?" and "Couldn't there be some way for us to get some of this information brought together?" For the purpose of clarity, a handbook is a book of refer- ence to be carried in the hand, a manual or guide book, as defined In Webster's New International Dictionary, second edition.
