GenFriends Genealogy Chat Show: Black Soldiers in the Revolutionary and Civil Wars

 


On this episode of GenFriends, Melissa and Shelly help Jenny, Laura, and me learn how Black soldiers fought for freedom, independence, and the future of a nation long before their stories were fully recognized. We explore the lives of Black Revolutionary War and Civil War soldiers, the records they left behind, and how their service continues to shape family and American history today.
