Re: US Volunteers vs US Regulars vs USCT
That would really suck to spend 3-4 years digging latrines and building forts or being used for cannon fodder once in awhile just to find out you were going to be free anyway. On the other hand, USCT veterans probably got offered 40 acres and a mule to go live in Ohio or Illinois. Wonder why almost all blacks stayed in the South until WWII was over?
