Over one hundred and eighty thousand black men fought for the Union
during America's Civil War. From infantrymen, to artillerist and
cavalry soldiers, these soldiers combined to form one hundred and
sixty-six Union regiments. On 29 October 1862 at Island Mound,
Missouri, the First Kansas Colored Volunteers, an infantry regiment
comprised mainly of blacks from Kansas and Missouri, became the
first black regiment to experience combat during the Civil War.
Their courage and outstanding performance in battle, as recorded,
are unquestioned. What have been omitted from research thus far are
their contributions to overall Union successes in the
Trans-Mississippi West. Their accomplishments are remarkable, for
they came in the face of extreme obstacles of prejudice and hatred.
'No Quarter' was ever given and 'No Quarter' was asked of the
regiment's black soldiers. The contributions of the First Kansas
Colored Volunteers, in conjunction with those of the many regiments
they served along side of, resulted in a resounding Union victory
in the Trans-Mississippi West.
