  • The United States Colored Troops (USCT) at the Battle of Fort Blakeley by Mike Bunn, July 10, 2020 Blueandgrayeducation.Org
    The United States Colored Troops (USCT) at the Battle of Fort Blakeley By Mike Bunn, July 10, 2020 blueandgrayeducation.org Battle of Fort Blakeley | Harper's Weekly The Battle of Fort Blakeley is remembered as the decisive fight in the combined-forces Campaign for Mobile in the spring of 1865. But many people are unaware that the battle featured one of the largest concentrations of African-American soldiers anywhere during the Civil War. Approximately 5,000 troops from nine different regiments—nearly a third of the entire Union force at Blakeley—took part in the siege and assault. Officially designated at the time as United States Colored Troops, the USCT were regiments of the U.S. Army composed of African-American soldiers. While the majority of the men in the ranks of USCT regiments were former slaves, white officers commanded all units in combat. The Federal government had first authorized acceptance of small numbers black regiments in specific locations in the fall of 1862, but after the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect on January 1, 1863, it began actively recruiting African-American soldiers. Organization of these units was overseen by the Bureau of Colored Troops, formed later in 1863, which arranged for the enlistment, outfitting, and training of numerous new black regiments. By April 1865 there were over 180,000 USCT troops in the Federal army, which comprised about 10 percent of its total manpower. USCT regiments participated in most of the major campaigns of the final two years of the Civil War, often being relegated to service as supply and guard details or as manual labor.

    “Please Send Stamps”: The Civil War Letters of William Allen Clark Part IV* Edited by Margaret Black Taturn** From March to August, 1864, William Allen Clark’s letters build in descriptive intensity as Clark grows less fearful of censor- ship and more optimistic about the North’s chances of winning the war. He states his political views more forcefully: “I am a Douglas Democrat & will never vote for the mongrel, kinky headed aboli- tionists. I detest them” (June 5, 1864). He describes battles in greater detail. The letters of this period also contain the words of a man tired of fighting and of seeing war. Huntsville’s civility and the polite tea parties he attended early in 1864 are far behind him as he marches ahead toward the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain and the Seige of Atlanta. During this time, he makes his first admission to his parents of killing a Confederate soldier in an encounter he calls “the narrowest escape I have made” (May 30,1864). Clark is battle weary and longs to return home to Indiana. He writes often of securing a furlough, although he declines leave in April so another soldier with a medical emergency at home can go in his place. Writing remains important, but Clark is forced to use blackberry juice and gunpowder as ink and to scavenge for paper and stamps. Tired of the life of a soldier, the Clark wit is not as evi- dent as in earlier letters, but occasionally his humor surfaces with wonderful imagery: “Dont scold about this writing for it is done with wet gun powder, and it goes by flashes anyway you try it” (August 7, 1864).
