The first major battle for African American troops in the Union Army was the Battle of Port Hudson, fought in Louisiana from May 1863 to July 1863. The 1st Louisiana Native Guard, one of the first African American regiments, played a significant role in this engagement. The battle was crucial in demonstrating the effectiveness and bravery of Black soldiers in combat, helping to change perceptions about their role in the Civil War.
