Appendixes. Notes. Bibliography. Index. DJ is in a plastic sleeve. James M. Paradis is a former licensed battlefield guide at Gettysburg National Military Park and completed masters and doctoral work at Temple University. He has authored two books on African Americans in the Civil War. This work was based on his doctoral dissertation Temple University. During the Civil War many African Americans were eager to strike a blow for freedom long before American public opinion was ready to support the fighting efforts of the Sable Arm. The 6th Regiment of United States Colored Infantry fought a war against prejudice as well as the Confederacy. At first their mission brought them little recognition and glory as they struggled through rain and mud in a series of grueling marches and faced the arduous task of digging the infamous Dutch Gap Canal moving tons of earth by hand as Confederate shells fell among the workers. At last the regiment became involved in the crucial campaigns against Petersburg and Richmond and took part in the assault against the Confederate Goliath Fort Fisher North Carolina. The African Americans' greatest ordeal and demonstration of courage came during the battle of New Market Heights where their charge through withering opposing fire resulted in frightful casualties and the winning of the Congressional Medal of Honor by three soldiers. The 6th United States Colored Infantry Regiment was an African American unit of the Union Army during the American Civil War. A part of the United States Colored Troops the regiment saw action in Virginia as part of the Richmond-Petersburg Campaign and in North Carolina where it participated in the attacks on Fort Fisher and Wilmington and the Carolinas Campaign. After a month and a half of organization from July 28 to September 12 1863 at Camp William Penn Pennsylvania the 6th Regiment was sent to Fort Monroe Virginia on October 14 1863 and from there to Yorktown Virginia where it remained until April 1864. While at Yorktown the unit was involved in several expeditions as part of the XVIII Corps: Wild's Expedition to South Mills and Camden Court House North Carolina from December 5 to December 24 1863 Wistar's Expedition against Richmond from February 2 to February 6 1864 an expedition to New Kent Court House in aid of Brigadier General Hugh Judson Kilpatrick's cavalry from March 1 to March 4 including action at New Kent Court House on March 2 and at Williamsburg on March 4 an expedition into King and Queen County from March 9 to March 12 and an expedition into Mathews County from March 17 to March 21. Starting on May 4 1864 the 6th Regiment participated in Brigadier General Benjamin F. Butler's operations on the south side of the James River and against Petersburg and Richmond. The unit was involved in the capture of City Point Virginia on May 4 and while in the city served fatigue duty built Fort Converse on the Appomattox River and defended an attack against Fort Converse on May 20. The unit participated in action at Bailor's Farm on June 15 1864 before taking part in the Richmond-Petersburg Campaign until December 17. The 6th served in the trenches around Petersburg up to June 18 and then did fatigue duty at Dutch Gap Canal until August 27 1864. From there the regiment moved to Deep Bottom and later participated in heavy action during the Battle of Chaffin's Farm at Fort Harrison on September 29 and September 30. After taking part in the Battle of Fair Oaks from October 27 to October 28 the unit returned to the trenches this time near Richmond where it remained until December 1864. In December the unit was assigned to the newly formed XXV Corps and took part in the failed attack on Fort Fisher North Carolina from December 7 to December 27 1864 and the successful Second Battle of Fort Fisher from January 7 to January 15 1865 including the bombardment of the fort starting on the 13th and the final assault and capture on the 15th. The 6th then saw action at Sugar Loaf Hill on January 19 and at Sugar Loaf Battery on February 11 before taking part in the Battle of Wilmington at Fort Anderson from February 18 to February 20 and the capture of Wilmington as well as action at Northeast Ferry on February 22 1865. In March 1865 the 6th Regiment was reassigned to the X Corps and took part in General William Tecumseh Sherman's Carolinas Campaign. The unit saw action during the advance on Kinston and Goldsboro North Carolina starting on March 6 and occupied Goldsboro after its capture on March 21. The regiment saw further action at Cox's Bridge on March 23 and March 24 and participated in the advance on Raleigh North Carolina starting on April 9 and the occupation of Raleigh after the city's fall on April 14. With the end of the war at hand the men of the 6th witnessed the surrender of Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston and his army at Bennett Place North Carolina on April 26 1865. The unit served out the rest of its term in the Department of North Carolina. The 6th was mustered out on September 20 1865 after two years of existence. The regiment lost a total of 224 men during its service; eight officers and 79 enlisted men were killed or mortally wounded and five officers and 132 enlisted men died of disease.
