New Bern Historical Society: Black Soldiers in the Civil War

Did you know that approximately 198,000 men served in the United States Colored Troops during the Civil War?  And another 20,000 served in the U.S. Navy?  And did you know that  six of those regiments came from North Carolina?

Come and hear their stories from USCT historian Jerilyn Lee. She will share over 100 pictures of USCT soldiers, NCO’s, officers, cavalrymen and U.S. sailors who served during the Civil War.
