Many African Americans in NJ assume that before the 1980's that there were literally NO African Americans in rural Warren County NJ. This article not only disproves that, but shows that they were willing to sign up and fight for the freedom of their enslaved brethren down south. Its amazing to see that some of these men from West Jersey served and died in places like Fort Harrison, one of the last big battles of Civil War and Fort Pickens Florida, where a scurvy epidemic devastated the black troops stationed there. It must have seemed sooo far way from home. I can only imagine how different they were (the warren county men) from their fellow Soldiers of Color that were from VA, the Carolinas, Ohio, Pennsylvania etc. Excellent research. I hope to find the same for Somerset and Morris County.Jack Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16907823428211888357noreply@blogger.com
