the Massachusetts 54th

The 54th Massachusetts was the most famous because of the movie "Glory". However there were 200,000 black soldiers serving in the Union army. There were dozens of regiments and artillery battalions. Most were eventually named with a number and the label Colored Troops such as 8th US Colored Troops.

On the north side of Washington, DC, there is a monument called the African-American Civil War Memorial. It has two rings of walls that has the names of the black troops engraved on it.
