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! At Port Hudson and Fort Pillow how the rebel guns they face! #Fight for your rights. Fight until you win, until equality rules the world. tony

A great patriotic song reiterating the patriotism displayed by Negros and martyrdom of many of them during battles for saving the honor of motherland. Well deserved classic of the day.

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
