EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CIVIL WAR: BLACK TROOPS" takes us back to the American Civil War era. The image showcases a group of African American troops diligently working in a Union Army forge. Created through wood engraving by French artists in 1864, this historical piece captures the essence of their contribution to the war effort. In this scene, we witness skilled workers engaged in various tasks within the forge. A blacksmith expertly hammers away at hot metal, shaping it into useful tools for the army. Nearby, a wheelwright focuses on repairing wagon wheels while another troop tends to shoeing horses as a farrier. Each man's dedication and expertise are evident as they work together harmoniously. The presence of these black troops highlights an important aspect of the Civil War that is often overlooked – their significant role in supporting the Union cause. Despite facing discrimination and prejudice, these brave men fought not only for freedom but also for equality on both sides of battle lines. This powerful image serves as a reminder that America's history is rich with diverse contributions from all walks of life. It symbolizes resilience, determination, and unity during one of our nation's most challenging times. As we reflect upon this photograph, let us honor those who played crucial roles behind-the-scenes and recognize their invaluable impact on shaping our country's future.
