Résumé

In "The Negro as a Soldier, " Christian A. Fleetwood delivers a compelling examination of African American contributions to the U. S. military, particularly during the Civil War era. Written with a resonant clarity that marries historical narrative with persuasive rhetoric, Fleetwood's text navigates the complexities of race, valor, and citizenship. The book is not only a historical document but also serves as a powerful rebuttal against the prevailing attitudes of racial inferiority of the time, firmly situating Black soldiers within the honored annals of American history.
Fleetwood employs a mix of personal anecdotes, military records, and impassioned argumentation, creating a persuasive piece that highlights both individual and collective bravery amidst an oppressive societal backdrop. Christian A. Fleetwood, an African American soldier and Medal of Honor recipient, draws from his own experiences in the United States Colored Troops. His unique perspective as a participant in the events he chronicles lends authenticity and urgency to his arguments.
Fleetwood's commitment to showcasing the courage and capabilities of Black soldiers is deeply rooted in his lived experiences of combat and struggle against racial barriers, allowing him to write with both authority and passion. This book is essential for anyone interested in African American history, military studies, or the social dynamics of the Civil War. Fleetwood'Äôs impassioned defense of the Black soldier is as relevant today as it was in the 19th century, making it a critical read that challenges readers to acknowledge and honor the sacrifices made by African Americans in pursuit of freedom and equality.
