O, how brave the Negro soldiers when the Civil war was fought! Shall they fight such noble battles in the nation's cause for naught? Hark! the battle cry of Charleston! at Fort Wagner is the place!

We expect the right to triumph over evil by and by.....so touching. This is a beautiful poem on blood and war.
Many people don't realize that the blood of Blacks was shed or sacrificed first. Nobody can be more patriotic than a black man or woman. The blood of Blacks has made America what it is today. Haitians fought for America in the battle of Savannah, Georgia.
Twas the war of Revolution, when a Negro's blood was first, To be shed for independence, when a yoke the land had cursed; Crispus Attucks died in Boston, on State street he paid the debt, Liberty his blood has planted and the tree is growing yet. facts and memories well presented. thank u. tony
