Andrew Jackson Smith was an African American soldier who served in the Union Army during the American Civil War. He is best known for his bravery and contributions to the war effort, particularly in the Siege of Vicksburg. After the war, Smith faced significant challenges due to racial discrimination but became a notable figure in the post-war period for his efforts in advocating for civil rights and the welfare of African Americans. His legacy reflects both the struggles and achievements of African Americans during and after the Civil War.
