Christian Fleetwood's Eye Witness Account
This story states the actions of a soldier fighting in the Civil War along with 350 other colored soldiers.One of the sergeants went down and another sergeant, grabbed the flag he was holding, now wielding two flags, and was then shot. He went down saying “Boys, save the colors!”. This shows how the civil war was really a war that determined the outcome of slavery in the United States. Slaves fought for the union because the union was against slavery.
