The new states, like California, did not want slavery, but the new territories, like Texas, did. This drove a wedge right through the heart of nineteenth century America.…

    In 1860, just a few years preceding the Civil war, the Union Army numbers totaled in about 16,000 men (Newell, 2014). To prepare for the unavoidable conflict with the Confederate States, President Abraham Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers to enlist and in the next three years, congress authorized the acceptance of one million soldiers (Calabresi & Bobbit, 1978).

Following the Militia Act, Congress passed the…

    Serving in the United States Military comes with great responsibility as well as pressure and liability. Freed African American slaves served in the U.S. military as early as the 18th century, but it wasn’t until after WWII that these troops were racially desegregated.
