Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorial Dear Sir: As you may have seen by the newspapers, I am about to raise a Coloured Regiment in Massachusetts. This I cannot but regard as perhaps the most important corps to be organized during the whole war, in view of what must be the composition of our new levies, and, therefore, I am very anxious to organize it judiciously in order that it may be a model for all future Coloured Regiments. I am desirous to have for its officers, particularly for its field officers, young men of military experience, of firm Antislavery principles, ambitious, superior to a vulgar contempt for colour, and having faith in the capacity of coloured men for military service. Such officers must be necessarily gentlemen of the highest tone and honour, and I shall look for them in those circles of educated Antislavery society, which, next to the coloured race itself, has the greatest interest in the success of this experiment. Reviewing the young men of the character I have described, now in the Massachusetts service, it occurs to me to offer the Colonelcy of such a Regiment to your son, Captain Shaw of the Second Massachusetts Infantry, and the Lieutenant-Colonelcy to Captain Hallowell of the Twentieth Massachusetts Infantry, the son of Mr. Morris L. Hallowell of Philadelphia. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
