Some people think that Benedict Arnold is important because he was a traitor in the American Revolutionary War. He was first a great general for the American soldiers but then things all of sudden changed and he went over to be a British Soldier because he thought that the American soldiers would lose against the British. But turns out that he was wrong about that because the American soldiers won the American Revolutionary War between American soldiers and British soldiers. ~Thank You~
The first all-Black regiment of Union soldiers was the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, formed in 1863 during the American Civil War. It was organized in Massachusetts and became famous for its courageous assault on Fort Wagner in South Carolina in July 1863. The regiment played a crucial role in demonstrating the bravery and capabilities of Black soldiers in the fight for freedom and equality.
there were 5,397,000 british soldiers mobilised during ww1.
Well because the 54 Regiment were the first to ever have Blacks fight. It brought lots of joy to many people. Imagine the first African-Americans to fight with the whites and not be treated like slaves but soldiers.
