Presentation transcript:

The 54th Massachusetts

January 1, 1863 Lincoln issues the Emancipation Proclamation (frees slaves) Black men throughout the north are encouraged to join the war

Regiment’s leaders All black army regiments were lead by white officers Colonel Robert Gould Shaw became leader of the 54th Massachusetts in March 1863 Recruited men throughout Boston Overwhelming positive response Mainly educated, free black men

Southern Reaction Jefferson Davis issues proclamation All African American soldiers and any white officer leading them should be punished by death

Tension within Regiment Black soldiers were being paid $10 per month Then $3 was withheld for clothing This was NOT withheld from white soldiers Many members of the 54th Massachusetts frequently refused their pay in protest of the inequality

Notable Fighting Fort Wagner (July 18, 1863) Charleston, SC 272 casualties Colonel Shaw killed in action Union unable to take over the fort

Legacy Word of the regiment’s bravery at Fort Wagner inspires black men to join the army Lessens racial tension in the north Colonel Shaw is buried with his men, all black, at Fort Wagner William Harvey Carney awarded Medal of Honor

The Robert Gould Shaw and Massachusetts 54th Regiment Memorial, located across Beacon Street from the State House, serves as a reminder of the heavy cost paid by individuals and families during the Civil War
