The History Behind the Image
The 4th U.S. Colored Infantry was organized in Baltimore in the summer of 1863. The regiment fought at the Battle of the Crater, at Chaffin's Farm and New Market Heights in September 1864, where Sergeant Major Christian Fleetwood, Sergeant Alfred B. Hilton, and Corporal Charles Veale earned the Medal of Honor, and at Fort Fisher. The famous photograph of Company E at Fort Lincoln in the District of Columbia, taken around 1865 by William Morris Smith, is held by the Library of Congress. About 179,000 Black soldiers served in the Union Army during the Civil War.
