Primary Sources:

Clinton, Catherine, and Shane Evans. Hold the Flag High. New York: Katherine Tegen, 2005

This book gave me deep information about my topic so I would say this is my best source by far.

The reason why is because it gave me the start of the 54th Massachusetts a union army that fought

the confederacy in the civil war. It gave the start of colored troops the significant roles they

developed to play.

Hargrove, Hondon B. Black Union Soldiers in the Civil War. Jefferson, NC: McFarland, 1988.

This source out of all the other sources was the best source that I was able to obtain to answer my

topic. The book talked about everything the emancipation proclamation, infantries, and black

union soldiers so it was the greatest help to me to answer the prompt.

This article provided information about the 14th and 44th regiments and how colored people

advanced into playing a role in this story and the article provided amounts information about

the topic.

African American Freedom." Free Pass, The (Kinston, NC) (06-20-2010)

This article did not provide me with very much information. The only important one that I found

was the article significantly describing the Emancipation Proclamation that President Lincoln

had signed.

Johnson, Nancy. A Sweet-sounding Place: a Civil War Story of the Black 54th Regiment.

Camden, Down East, 2007

This book was not the greatest of sources because it only talked about a boy named Moses who

left his home town to fight with the Union against the Confederacy. It was basically a biography

and I was able to grab a little amount information from this source.

This book is a great novel to read it talks a lot of colored soldiers that contributed greatly in the

Indian wars that occurred in 1896. It had major information for me to get a good understanding

about confederate soldiers and black soldiers that did not play a good role in the past.
