The Missouri in the Civil War Message Board

USCT, LU, and Miller County Missouri

If anyone has a similar interest here's a link to some info I compiled on slaves in Miller County that enlisted in the US Colored Troops. http://cammilpulhistory.blogspot.com/
One compelling story is George Alfred, a soldier who was part of the founding of Lincoln Institute where his slaveholder's descendants probably have gone to college today.
Next posts are slaves in Pulaski and Camden Counties. If anyone has knowledge about using a slave as substitute during the Civil War Draft it would be helpful.
