In the words of one white officer following the overwhelming Union victory at Nashville, Tennessee: “I have often heard men say that they would not fight beside a Negro soldier but on the 16th the whites and blacks charged together and they fell just as well as we did. When you hear any one say that Negro soldiers won’t fight just tell them that, I have seen a great many fighting for our country.”
