54th
Massachusetts
The 54th
Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteers was one of the premier
regiments in the Union Army made up of free Northern men of
color; in an age where enslavement and subversion of blacks
was an accepted social norm and an economic necessity. The
men of the 54th; by their uncompromising discipline and steadfast
bravery on the field of battle; had proven forever that black
soldiers were in everyway equal to their white counterparts.
