1860s Amputee Chair Crutch Flag Injured Off Ice Provost Marshal Rifle Salute Union Union Army Veteran Waterman Wood Yankee Troop

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print titled "CIVIL WAR: BLACK TROOPS. The Veteran" captures a significant moment in American history. Created as a wood engraving in 1867, based on an original painting by Thomas Waterman Wood, it depicts the resilience and sacrifice of African American soldiers during the Civil War. In the image, we see a distinguished African American veteran sitting on a chair with his crutch resting against it. Despite being injured and having lost one of his legs in battle, he stands tall and proud, wearing his Union Army uniform. His hat is placed respectfully over his heart as he salutes with great honor. The presence of the American flag behind him symbolizes not only his dedication to preserving unity within America but also represents the ideals for which these brave men fought – freedom and equality for all citizens. This photograph serves as a reminder of the immense contributions made by black troops during this tumultuous period in our nation's history. It highlights their bravery, determination, and unwavering commitment to defending their country despite facing discrimination both on and off the battlefield. As we reflect upon this image, let us remember those who sacrificed so much for our freedom and continue to strive towards creating a more inclusive society where every individual is valued regardless of their race or background.
