Dear Sir/Madame:

As the Cultural Resources Specialist/Historian for Ocmulgee National Monument, one of my responsibilities is to research and obtain information, documents and artifacts associated with the current and future interpretive themes designated by the Washington Support Office (WASO) of the National Park Service (NPS). One of the major interpretive themes identified for the NPS by the “Civil War to Civil Rights” program between 2011 and 2015 was the commemoration of the United States Civil War. My initial research for this theme was to compile information relating to the United States Colored Troops (USCT) of the Georgia African Brigade.

Macon, Georgia has been the birth place of numerous historical people and organizations but one organization that is not well known is Georgia’s African Brigade and the 3,000 plus men of color that were members of this military unit. These men were former slaves that were recruited during Wilson’s Raid through the heart of the Confederacy during the later days of the Civil War. This document contains a list of all the former slaves and white Union soldier’s that made up the 136th, 137th and 138th USCT. It identifies their assigned company, rank, place of birth (if known), age at enlistment and on selected members their date of rank or death (if died on active duty).

Wilson’s Raid was originally planned to demoralize the people of the Confederacy but the recruitment, organization and training of these three regiments became the foundation of fulfilling the wording of the United States Declaration of Independence which proclaimed that all men are created equal and the secured blessings of liberty guaranteed by the United States Constitution. Readers of this document may find this information interesting from a historical point of view but they may also be able to utilize the information in this document to trace members of their family that participated. Please do not hesitate to contact me at(478) 752-8257 Ext 224 or Lonnie_Davis@nps.gov if you have any questions or comments about the information in this document.

From 1861 to 1865, the American union was broken as brother fought brother in a Civil War that remains a defining moment in our nation's history. Its causes and consequences, including the continuing struggle for civil rights for all Americans, reverberate to this day. From the battlefields to the home front, the cost of the war was steep...its lessons eternal.

On June 16, 1864, President Abraham Lincoln made one of his rare wartime departures from Washington. He spoke in Philadelphia at a fund-raising fair for the United States Sanitary Commission, a national soldiers' aid society. The preceding six weeks had seen the bloodiest fighting in the Civil War so far, at the carnage-strewn Virginia battlefields of The Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, and Petersburg. "War, at the best, is terrible," Lincoln told the crowd, "and this war of ours, in its magnitude and duration, is one of the most terrible. . . . It has destroyed property, and ruined homes It has carried mourning to almost every home,until it can almost be said that 'the heavens are hung in black.'" When would this cruel war be over? Many were asking. "We accepted this war for an object," said the president, "a worthy object of restoring the national authority over the whole national domain." The war would end only "when that object is attained." During the battle of Spotsylvania, Union General Ulysses S. Grant had said that he intended to fight it out on that line if it took all summer. Lincoln added: "I say we are going through on this line if it takes three years more."

This grim determination to fight on to victory despite the cost characterized Lincoln's leadership in the war. Confederate President Jefferson Davis was no less determined. "We are fighting for INDEPENDENCE and that, or extermination, we will have," he told a Northern journalist in July 1864. "You may 'emancipate' every Negro in the Confederacy, but we will be free. We will govern ourselves if we have to see every Southernplantation sacked, and every Southern city in flames."

Many people in both North and South sometimes faltered in the face of the war's terrible cost in lives and resources. Others opposed the war altogether. But enough supported the contrasting goals of Lincoln and Davis that the war continued four long years, ending only when Southern resources and Confederate armies had been so eviscerated that they were no longer capable of fighting. The toll of more than a million casualties, 620,000 of them dead, was far greater than in any other war this country has fought. The 620,000 dead were 2 percent of the total American population (North and South) in 1861. By way of comparison, if 2 percent of the American people were to die in a war fought today, the number of American deaths would be more than six million. (Note: Recent scholarly studies suggest that at least 750,000 and possibly more died as a direct result of the Civil War.)

Both sides were willing to sustain such punishment and keep fighting because the stakes were so great: nationality and freedom. If the Confederacy lost the war, it would cease to exist. And by 1863 or 1864, when emancipation of slaves and the abolition of slavery became a Northern war aim, the institution of African- American bondage that was a cornerstone of Southern society would also cease to exist. "This country without slave labor would be completely worthless," wrote a Mississippi soldier to his wife. "We can only live & exist by that species of labor: and hence I am willing to fight to the last." A clerk in the Confederate WarDepartment declared in 1863 that "our men must prevail in combat, or lose their property, country, freedom, everything," while "the enemy, in yielding the contest, may retire into their own country, and possess everything they enjoyed before the war began."

But "the enemy"--Northerners--did not believe they could "retire into their own country" if they lost the war and "possess everything they enjoyed before the war began." Most believed they would no longer have a country worthy of the name. The words "United States" would become an oxymoron. The nation would become two nations, and a fatal precedent would have been created for its further division into several nations until there was no "nation" at all. Two Union infantry officers, one from New York and the other from New Jersey, agreed that "if we lose this war, the country is lost and if we win it is saved. There is no middle ground." Defeat would make the country a "sepulcher in which should be buried our institutions, our nationality, our flag."

For African Americans the stakes were freedom if the North won, or continued slavery if the Confederacy prevailed. Two hundred thousand of them, mostly former slaves, fought for the Union and for their own liberty. A growing number of Northern white soldiers also came to see freedom as a vital issue in the contest. When Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, a soldier from New York State exulted that "the contest is now between Slavery & freedom, & every honest man knows that he is fighting for," while an Iowa sergeant was confident that "the God of battle will be with us . . . now that we are fighting for Liberty and Union and not for Union and Slavery."

Northern victory in the war resolved two festering issues that had been left unresolved by the Revolution of 1776 and the Constitution of 1787 that gave birth to the United States. The first was the nagging question whether this fragile republic, this precarious new democracy, would survive in a world bestrode by monarchs, czars, tyrants, and aristocrats. Americans were painfully aware that most republics through history had collapsed into anarchy or tyranny or had been overthrown by foreign invaders. Some Americans alive in 1860 had seen two French republics rise and fall. Latin American republics seemed to succumb regularly to dictators, military rulers, or anarchy. The hopes for the birth of democratic government in Europe during the revolutions of 1848 had been dashed by counterrevolutions that entrenched the Old Order of monarchy and aristocracy. Could the United States endure as one nation, indivisible, with a government based on majority rule? The secession of eleven states in 1861 represented the greatest challenge to survival. The nation met that challenge and prevailed in 1865. Since then no state has seriously and substantively (as opposed to rhetorically) threatened to secede.

Americans in the first half of the nineteenth century liked to boast of their country as "the land of liberty, a beacon of freedom to the oppressed of other lands." But by midcentury the United States had become the largest slaveholding country in the world. Lincoln took note of this paradox in 1854. "The monstrous injustice of slavery," he said in a speech at Peoria, "deprives our republican example of its just influence in the world-- enables the enemies of free institutions, with plausibility, to taunt us as hypocrites." With the abolition of slavery by the Civil War, embodied in the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution in 1865, that particular monstrous injustice and hypocrisy existed no more.

The abolition of slavery, however, did not end racism, discrimination, and caste segregation of which slavery had been the most extreme manifestation. The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, adopted in 1868 and

5

1870, implanted equal civil and political rights in the Constitution. But for generations the nation failed to live up the promises of these Amendments. The issue of racial justice that came to the fore in the Civil War era is still with us today.

In the process of preserving the Union of 1776 while purging it of slavery, the Civil War also transformed it. Before 1861 the words United States were usually rendered as a plural noun: "The United States are a large country." Since 1865 the United States is a large country. The North went to war to preserve the Union; it ended by creating a nation. This transformation can be traced in Lincoln's wartime speeches. The first inaugural address contained the word Union twenty times and the word nation not once. In Lincoln's first message to Congress, on July 4, 1861, he used Union forty-nine times and nation only three times. But in the Gettysburg Address on November 19, 1863, he did not refer to the Union at all but used the word nation five times. Looking back on the past four years in his second inaugural address, on March 4, 1865, Lincoln spoke of one party seeking to dissolve the Union in 1861 and the other accepting the challenge of war to preserve the nation.

The decentralized antebellum republic, in which the post office was the only agency of the federal government that touched the average citizen, was transformed by the crucible of war into a centralized polity that taxed people directly and established an internal revenue bureau to collect the taxes, expanded the jurisdiction of federal courts, enacted a national currency and a federally chartered banking system, drafted men into the army, and created a Freedmen's Bureau as the first national agency for social welfare. Eleven of the first twelve amendments to the Constitution had limited the powers of the national government. Six of the next seven, starting with the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865, radically expanded those powers at the expense of the states. Controversies over federal-state relations and the legitimate powers of the national government have echoed down the years since the Civil War, and are still very much alive today.

Before 1861 two socioeconomic and cultural systems had competed for dominance within the United States: a rural, agricultural, plantation society in the South based on slave labor and a diversified, industrializing, free- labor capitalist society in the North. Although in retrospect the triumph of free-labor capitalism seems to have been inevitable, that was by no means clear during most of the antebellum era. From 1789 to 1861 a Southern slaveholder had been president of the United States for two-thirds of those years. Likewise, two-thirds of the Speakers of the House and presidents pro tempore of the Senate had also been Southerners. Twenty of the thirty-five Supreme Court justices during that period had been from the South, including the chief justice for sixty-one of those seventy-two years. At all times a majority of the Court were Southerners. The territory of the slave states considerably exceeded that of the Free states before 1859 and the Southern drive for additional territorial expansion was more aggressive than that of the North. Most of the slave states seceded in 1861 not only because they feared the potential threat to the long-term survival of slavery posed byLincoln's election, but also because they looked forward to the expansion of a dynamic, independent Confederacy into new territory by the acquisition of Cuba and perhaps more of Mexico and Central America. If the Confederacy had prevailed in the 1860s, it is quite possible that the emergence of the United States as the

6

world's leading industrial, as well as agricultural producer by the end of the nineteenth century, and the world's most powerful nation in the twentieth century might never have happened.

The institutions and ideology of a plantation society and a slave system that had dominated half the country before 1861 and sought to dominate more went down with a great crash in 1865. They were replaced by the institutions and ideology of free-labor entrepreneurial capitalism. Writing eight years after the war, Mark Twain said it best: the great conflict "uprooted institutions that were centuries old, changed the politics of a people, transformed the social life of half the country, and wrought so profoundly upon the national character that the influence cannot be measured short of two or three generations." At the same time, however, the war left the South impoverished for those three generations, its agricultural economy in shambles, and the freed slaves in a limbo of second-class citizenship. America's postwar economic growth not only excluded the South, but also created new problems of air and water pollution, wasteful exploitation of natural resources, and the travails of an urban-industrial society. For better or for worse, the flames of Civil War forged the framework of modern America. The struggle to define America continues, and all paths to understanding this struggle pass through the cauldron of that conflict. The seventy-five National Park Service battlefields and other Civil War sites preserve many parts of those paths, which can be followed with enhanced understanding by visiting these sites.

The United States Colored Troops

The United States Colored Troops (USCT) were regiments in the United States Army composed ofmainly black (colored) soldiers, although other people of color such as Pacific Islanders, Asian descendants and American Indians also fought under USCT regiments. They were first recruited during the American Civil War, and by the end of that war in April, 1865, the 175 USCT regiments constituted about one-tenth the manpower of the Union Army. In the decades that followed the USCT soldiers fought in the Indian Wars in the American West, where they became known as the Buffalo Soldiers; they received the nickname from Native Americans who compared their hair to the fur of bison.

The U.S. Congress passed the Confiscation Act of 1862 in July 1862. On July 17, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln authorized the use of African Americans in federal service by issuing the Second Confiscation and Militia Act. This act freed slaves whose owners were in rebellion against the United States, and a militia act empowered the President to use freed slaves in any capacity in the army. President Abraham Lincoln was concerned with public opinion in the four states that had numerous slaveholders but remained in the Union, as well as the northern Democrats who supported the war but were less supportive of abolition than many northern Republicans. Lincoln opposed early efforts to recruit black soldiers, although he accepted the Army's using them as paid workers.

Union Army setbacks in battles over the summer of 1862 led Lincoln to emancipate all slaves in states at war with the Union. It was not until the Emancipation Proclamation was issued on January 1, 1863, however, that black men could serve in combat. Recruitment of colored regiments began in full force following the Proclamation.

The United States War Department issued General Order Number 143 on May 22, 1863, establishing the Bureau of Colored Troops to facilitate the recruitment of black soldiers to fight for the Union Army. Regiments, including infantry, cavalry, engineers, light artillery, and heavy artillery units, were recruited from all states of the Union and became known as the United States Colored Troops (USCT).

The courage displayed by colored troops during the Civil War played an important role in people of color gaining new rights. As the abolitionist Frederick Douglass wrote:

"[L]et the black man [...] get an eagle on his button, and a musket on his shoulder [...], and there is no power on earth which can deny that he has earned the right to citizenship [...]."

Soon there were 200,000 black soldiers serving in the Union army and navy. These men were paid less than white soldiers, were given old and worn uniforms and poor equipment, and could not become officers.Despite the unfair treatment, black men volunteered to take part in combat. The USCT suffered from racial discrimination despite serving the Union war effort. Seldom seeing active battle, many troops were assigned as laborers, construction workers, and guards on fortifications throughout the Union, including the Defenses of Washington.

USCT regiments fought in all theaters of the war, but mainly served as garrison troops in rear areas. The most famous USCT action took place at the Battle of the Crater during the Siege of Petersburg. Regiments of USCT suffered heavy casualties attempting to break through Confederate lines. Other notable engagements include Fort Wagner, one of their first major tests, and the Battle of Nashville.

USCT soldiers suffered extreme acts of violence at the hands of Confederate soldiers. Often they were victims of battlefield massacres and atrocities, most notably at Fort Pillow in Tennessee. They were at risk of being murdered by Confederate soldiers, rather than being treated as prisoners of war.

The prisoner exchange protocol broke down over the Confederacy's position on black prisoners of war. The Confederacy had passed a law stating that blacks captured in uniform would be tried as slave insurrectionists in civil courts—a capital offense with an automatic sentence of death. USCT soldiers were often murdered by Confederate troops without being taken to court. The law became a stumbling block for prisoner exchange.

USCT soldiers were among the first Union forces to enter Richmond, Virginia, after its fall in April 1865. The 41st USCT regiment was among those present at the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox. Following the war, USCT regiments served among the occupation troops in former Confederate states.

Wilson’s Raid

Union Major General James H. WilsonLibrary of Congress's Prints and Photographs Division

In March of 1865 after his victory at the Battle of Nashville, Union General George H. Thomas, Commander of the Department of the Cumberland with his headquarters located at Nashville, Tennessee made a bold decision to send a mounted cavalry raid against key Confederate locations in the Lower South. Thomas decided to send a force of Union cavalry on a raid to destroy the arsenal at Selma, Alabama, in conjunction with Union Major General Edward Canby's operations against Mobile. Selma was strategically important as one of the key Confederate military facilities remaining in Southern hands. The town contained an arsenal,a naval foundry, gun factories, a powder mill, military warehouses, and railroad repair shops. The man chosen to lead this corps was Union Brevet Major General James Harrison Wilson.

James Harrison Wilson graduated from West Point near the top of his class in 1860. After the war broke out, he served as topographical engineer for the Port Royal Expeditionary Force from September 1861 to March 1862. For his service at the Battle of Fort Pulaski, Wilson received a brevet promotion to major in the regular army. He then served as aide-de-camp to Major General George McClellan and topographical engineer to McClellan's Army of the Potomac from April 1862 through the Maryland Campaign. Wilson joined Major

9

General Ulysses S. Grant's Army of the Tennessee, serving as topographical engineer and inspector general during the Vicksburg Campaign. After being promoted to brigadier general of volunteers, he became chief engineer under Major General William T. Sherman.

In early 1864, Wilson was assigned to lead the newly formed Cavalry Bureau in Washington, D.C. where he lobbied the War Department to equip the cavalry with fast-loading Spencer repeating carbines. General Grant then promoted Wilson to brevet major general in May 1864, and assigned him to command Third Division in Major General Philip H. Sheridan's cavalry corps. He led his cavalry troops in both the Overland and Valley Campaigns of 1864. In October 1864, Grant promoted Wilson to major general of volunteers and assigned him to the Military Division of the Mississippi as commander of Sherman's cavalry corps.

On 22 March 1865, Wilson departed Gravely Springs leading a Cavalry Corp composed of three divisions (13,500 troops) commanded by Brigadier Generals: Edward M. McCook, Eli Long, and Emory Upton. Each cavalryman was armed with the formidable 7-shot Spencer repeating rifle. His principal opponent was Confederate Lieutenant General Nathan Bedford Forrest, commander of the Cavalry Corps of the Department of Alabama, Mississippi, and East Louisiana.

Wilson’s mission was to conduct an invasion of Lower Alabama with the primary objective of neutralizing the strategically important Confederate arsenal at Selma. On March 31, Confederate forces under Bedford Forrest command were routed by the larger, better-armed Union force at Montevallo. The cavalrymen under Chalmers had not arrived to reinforce Forrest, but he could not wait. During the action, Forrest's headquarters was overrun and documents captured that gave valuable intelligence concerning his plans. Wilson dispatched McCook to link up with Croxton's brigade at Trion (now Vance) and then led the remainder of his force rapidly toward Selma. Forrest made a stand on April 1 at Plantersville, Alabama near Ebenezer Church, and was routed once again. The Confederates raced toward Selma and deployed into a three-mile, semicircular defensive line anchored at both ends by the Alabama River.

The Battle of Selma took place on April 2. The Union Divisions under the command of General Eli Long and General Emory Upton assaulted General Bedford Forrest's hastily constructed works. The dismounted Union troopers broke through the Confederate lines by that afternoon, after brief periods of hand-to-hand combat; the inexperienced militiamen abandoning their positions. The fleeing of these Confederate soldiers was the primary reason for the entire line breaking. General Harrison Wilson personally led a mounted charge of the 4th U.S. Cavalry against an unfinished portion of the line. General Eli Long was severely wounded in the head during the assault. General Forrest, who was also wounded, and whose corps was severely damaged, regrouped at Marion, where he finally rejoined with General Chalmers.

General Wilson had directed that the columns be cleared of all contraband negroes; and such of the able- bodied ones as were able to enlist, to be organized into regiments, one to each division. These former slaves would be outfitted with muskets in the supply caravan and captured confederate arms. Enough horses were

1

secured on the march to and at Selma to mount all of the dismounted men. In order to eliminate the column of every unnecessary impediment, orders were given that all surplus wagons should be destroyed, and all of the bridge train except enough for twelve boys. The bridge trains were no longer needed now that the Corp had crossed the Alabama River.

In the march from Selma, Colonel LaGrange's brigade of the first division was given the advance. The recent rains had rendered the roads extremely muddy and a small body of Confederate cavalry while falling back before LaGrange, destroyed several bridges, so that the union forces progress was necessarily slow. At 7 A.M., April 12, the advanced guard reached Montgomery, and received the surrender of the city from the Mayor and Council. Confederate General Adams, with a small force, after falling back from Montgomery burned 125,000 bales of cotton, and then continued his retreat to Mount Meigs on the Columbus road. Five guns and large quantities of small arms, stores, etc., were left in the hands of the union forces. General McCook assigned Colonel Cooper, of the Fourth Kentucky Cavalry, to the command of the city, and immediately began the destruction of the public stores. Major Weston, of the Fourth Kentucky, with a small detachment of his command, made a rapid march toward Wetumpka, swam the Coosa and Tallapoosa Rivers, and captured five steamboats and their cargoes, which were taken to Montgomery and destroyed. Early on the 14th the march was resumed. General Upton was directed to move with his own division directly upon Columbus, and to order Colonel LaGrange’s brigade to move quickly to the city of West Point, destroying the railroad bridgesalong the line of his march.

Colonel Minty followed General Upton by the way of Tuskegee. General McCook, with a part of his division, remained a few hours at Montgomery to complete the destruction of the public stores. Shortly after leaving the camp near Montgomery, Colonel LaGrange engaged a force of Confederate soldiers under Colonel Buford and Colonel Clanton, and drove them in confusion, capturing 150 prisoners.

On the afternoon of the 17th, Colonel Minty resumed the march with his entire division on the Thomaston road toward Macon, and sent a detachment forward that night to seize the double bridges across Flint River. This task was assigned to Captain Hudson, of the Fourth Michigan. Early in the morning of the next day he had reached the bridges, 56 miles from Columbus, scattered the party defending them, and took 40 prisoners.

Before leaving Columbus General Winslow destroyed the Confederates “Ram Jackson”, which was almost ready for sea. This vessel was outfitted with six seven-inch guns. He also burned 15 locomotives, 250 railroad cars, railroad and foot bridges, 115,000 bales of cotton, 4 cotton factories, the navy-yard, 2 foundries, one armory, a sword and pistol manufactory, two accoutrement shops, three paper-mills, over a hundred thousand rounds of artillery ammunition, and immense quartermaster and commissary stores of all kinds.

The Confederates abandoned and burned the gunboat “Chattahoochee”, twelve miles below Columbus. On the morning of the 18th the Union Corp resumed the march on the route pursued by the Second Division. On the evening of the 20th, when within twenty miles of Macon, the advanced guard, the Seventeenth Indiana

1

Mounted Infantry under Colonel White, encountered about two hundred Confederate cavalry, but successfully drove them away and saved the Echeconee and Tobesofkee bridges.

When within thirteen miles of Macon, Colonel White met a flag of truce in charge of General Robertson the commander of the Confederate forces, bearing a written communication addressed to the commanding officer of the United States forces. Colonel White halted the flag and party, and sent the communication to Colonel Minty, who was now commanding the division. After reading the letter Colonel Minty forwarded it to General Wilson and gave instructions to Colonel White to continue his advance. Colonel White waited five minutes for the flag of truce to get out of the way, and sent a note to General Robertson informing him of his action.

General Wilson received the communication late in the afternoon, nineteen miles from Macon, and upon examination, found that it was a letter from General Howell Cobb. General Cobb was the commander of the Confederate forces at Macon and the tenor of which was that a truce for the purpose of a final settlement, had been agreed upon between General Sherman and General Johnston. He also stated that the Union forces should occupy their present positions with a forty-eight hour notice being given in the event of a resumption of hostilities.

Without giving entire credence to the communication, General Wilson rode quickly to the front, with the determination to halt the Corp’s advance at the defenses of the city and talk directly to General Cobb in order to confirm the authenticity before giving his consent to the armistice. Before he could overtake the advance, however, or arrest it, through an order carried by a staff officer Colonel White had dashed into the city and received its surrender. The garrison made a slight show of resistance, but laid down their arms promptly at the summons of Colonel White. General Cobb protested to what he professed to regard a violation of the alleged armistice, forgetting that a subordinate could not acknowledge him as a channel of communication, nor assume the responsibility of suspending their operations.

In the largest, and arguably most successful, cavalry raid of the war, General Wilson led his disciplined troops 300 miles in 12 days and defeated General Nathan Bedford Forrest's Confederate troops at Ebenezer Church, Alabama, on April 1, 1865, and then again at Selma two days later. His forces captured Montgomery, Alabama's capital, on April 12th, followed by Columbus, Georgia, on the 16th. 18 April 1865 accompanied Colonel Robert H.G. Minty’s Second Division on a force march to seize the important Double Bridges across the Flint River, fifty-four miles from Columbus, (Wilson, 1865) and two days later capturing Macon, Georgia's capital, on April 20th. Wilson's Raid resulted in the capture of over 7,000 combatants and 300 cannons. On May 10, 1865, his troops also captured Confederate President Jefferson Davis, which earned Wilson a promotion to major general in the regular army.

During his march through Alabama, Wilson ordered each of his three divisions to recruit and organize a regiment of former slaves. Colonel Robert Horatio George Minty began to organize the regiment assigned to his 2nd Division, and appointed Major Martin Archer to command it. Major Archer was assisted by eight

1

troopers detailed by the division to help organize the men into companies. By the time Col Minty’s division reached Columbus, the regiment had recruited 1,400 former slaves, of whom about 1,200 were mounted on horses and mules. Upon arrival in Macon, the number of former slaves recruited by Minty’s 2nd Division and Upton’s 4th Division was now well over 2,700. On 24 and 25 April, all of the former slaves recruited by the Corp were examined by the surgeon and organized into three regiments consisting of 1,100 men each. They were outfitted with captured Confederate uniforms and equipment and on 1 May ordered back to their respective divisions.

On 18 May Secretary of War Stanton sent a message to Wilson approving the organization of three colored units and directing him to muster them in for three years. The unit assigned to the 1st Division was designated as the 136th Infantry Regiment USCT, the 2nd Division was designated as the 137th Infantry Regiment USCT and the 4th Division was designated as the 138th Infantry Regiment USCT. On 21 May the three regiments were organized into the African Brigade under the command of General Andrew J. Alexander

136th Infantry Regiment, United States Colored Troops

The 136th Infantry Regiment of U.S. Colored Troops was organized at Macon, Georgia in June of 1865 and was one of the last three units to be mustered into the Union Army under the Bureau of Colored Troops during the Civil War. Some of the men had ben medically screened and formed into companies on April 24 and 25, 1865.

The recruits were originally outfitted with captured Confederate uniforms and equipment, afterwards the regiment relocated to a camp South of Atlanta under the command of Colonel Richard Root. Upon completing initial training the men were mustered into Federal Service at Atlanta, Georgia on July 15, 1865. The entire regiment was mustered out of service on January 4, 1866. These are the men of the 136th Infantry Regiment:

137th Infantry Regiment, United States Colored Troops

The 137th Infantry Regiment of U.S. Colored Troops basic organization began in Selma, Alabama on April 8, 1865. All of the men were medically screened and formed into companies at Macon, Georgia on April 24 and 25, 1865. The recruits were originally outfitted with captured Confederate uniforms except the blue Kepi or trumpeter hat and equipment, afterwards the regiment was relocated to a camp site designated as CERES (Colored Enlistment Reorganization and Enumeration Site), 21 miles West of Macon on May 1, 1865. The men were organized into companies and began their individual training. Upon completing initial training the men were mustered into Federal Service at Macon, Georgia on June 1, 1865. Some of the units were assigned to cleanup and burial details in and near the Andersonville, Georgia Confederate prison. These are the men of the 137th Infantry Regiment:

138th Infantry Regiment, United States Colored Troops

The 138th Infantry Regiment of U.S. Colored Troops was the last regiment authorized under the Second Confiscation Act. The regiment’s organization began in Macon, Georgia on June 30, 1865 and was the last units to be mustered into the Union Army under the Bureau of Colored Troops during the Civil War. The recruits mostly farmers and laborers were ex-slaves born throughout the southern states. Just as the other two regiments of the brigade, the recruits were outfitted with captured Confederate uniforms and equipment, afterwards the regiment relocated to a camp site designated as Camp Cur Kendall South of Atlanta on 10 July, 1865. The men were mustered into Federal Service at Atlanta, Georgia on July 16, 1865. Most of the members of this regiment were utilized by the Commander of Union Forces to repair railroads, bridges and telegraph lines which had been destroyed during the war. These are the men of the 138th Infantry Regiment:

Ethnicity, Race, and the Military

Racial and ethnic groups played an important role in both armies during the Civil War. Many black soldiers fought for the North, enraging Southerners on the battlefield. Hispanic soldiers fought on both sides.American Indians acted as scouts and guides, hoping to regain land and freedom if they aided the victors.

Unfortunately, it would be decades before significant numbers of Americans recognized the considerable contributions of ethnic groups that had suffered chronic discrimination and a racial group that had been alternately enslaved, segregated, or ignored for more than 200 years.

The men of Georgia’s African Brigade which was composed of the 136th, 137th, and 138th, Infantry Regiments USCT are one of those groups that their contribution has not been well publicized. This document was composed with the names of men assigned to the Field and Staff plus the ten companies of the regiments organized after the creation of the brigade. This document also identifies the unit (company) assigned, rank at enlistment or organization, rank when mustered out, place of birth, age at enlistment of organization and date of promotion/appointment or death (if died while on active duty).

Black soldiers’ service varied from headlong assaults on the Confederate lines around Richmond to garrison duty at river ports or along railroad lines that were important to Union strategy. As with white Union troops, their proficiency improved with training and experience. Maj. Gen. Godfrey Weitzel’s ranking of the regiments under his command in 1865 demonstrates the importance to the troops’ abilities of time spent both on the parade ground and in the field. Regimental officers were keenly aware that post commanders’ orders detailing their men to fatigue duty interfered with military instruction, and they sought a remedy through

official complaints. Often, these were successful. The absence of a contiguous front line and the constant threat of violence made it imperative that men knew at least how to load and fire their weapons and to form line of battle. The determinants of performance were training and practical experience.21

The most enduring accomplishment of the Union’s black soldiers was to assert their right to full citizenship and, by extension, that of all their kin. Lincoln recognized this claim as early as March 1864, when he urged the new governor of Louisiana to extend the franchise to “the very intelligent” among the freedmen, “and especially those who have fought gallantly in our ranks.” This was merely a private suggestion, he told the governor, but hundreds of black Southerners reached the same conclusion independently during the months that followed. “We want two more boxes, beside the cartridge box,” Sgt. Henry J. Maxwell told a convention at Nashville in August 1865, “the ballot box and the jury box.” In the years to come, black veterans in other parts of the country would base petitions for full civic participation on their military service during the war.They had answered fully the question that Treasury Agent Edward Pierce had posed in the summer of 1863: “Will they fight for their freedom?” Another century and five more wars would pass before most Americans began to acknowledge the answer.22

In 1865, during his daring raid into the South, Union General James Harrison Wilson directed the commanders of each of his three divisions to recruit and organize a regiment of former slaves during their march through Alabama and Georgia. By the time Wilson’s forces arrived in Columbus, Georgia the Corp had recruited 1,400 and when his forces arrived in Macon, Georgia the recruits were now over 2,700. On 24 and 25 April, all of the former slaves recruited by the Corp were examined by the surgeon and organized into three regiments consisting of 1,100 men each and were outfitted with captured Confederate uniforms and equipment.

William Scarborough recalled, “A new order of things came in many ways with freedom. I recall the coming of colored troops to take the place of white ones in Macon. The former met with much opposition from the Southern white citizens. Some incidents were amusing to onlookers, as many times the white people would go into the gutters and mud, often to the detriment of their attire, rather than acknowledge defeat and be humiliated by walking beneath the Union flags stretched over the sidewalks. Still, although everything was under military rule and ill repressed feeling was ever present, I do not recall any incident of great disorder.”
