Is SUBJECT picture of Sept. 25, 1861, the Union Navy "Blacks" that enlisted for service in the Civil War?
As SLAVES ONLY became USA citizens in 1868(14th Amendment)...
Were the African Slaves in 1861 'navy'; called 'slaveNavy guys'?
..I believe History states that It was February 1944 that the Navy commissioned its first African-Americans
..Previously, 'blacks' were barred from the Navy completely or allowed to enlist only as mess cooks.
