I don't know if any of my black relatives had joined the Union and fought during Civil War.
Do you know any of your relatives joined the Union or Confederate Army and fought during Civil War?

I've seen pictures that my grandmother has. She has a picture of her great-uncle who fought for the union army. He did not die in the Civil War, although he was shot in the chin. He's the only one in the family that I know of that fought in the Civil War.
