During the Revolution, an estimated 20% of the Continental line was made up of black troops, who were integrated with white troops. It is ironic that this was the last time units were integrated until the time of the Korean War in the early 1950's. In the Civil War, over180,000 black troops fought for the Union. The most famous (see the movie "Glory,") was probably the 54th Massachusetts).
