The South and most of the North responded with outrage. Southerners vowed to enslave black soldiers captured in battle, while many northerners claimed that blacks lacked the courage to fight. Yet Boston's Brahmins, always eager for a moral crusade, launched one of the greatest experiments in American history. In Thunder at the gates, Douglas R. Egerton chronicles the formation and exploits of the 54th and 55th Massachusetts Infantry and the 5th Massachusetts Cavalry -- regiments led by whites but composed of black men born free or into slavery. 651 0 $a United States $x Participation, African American. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Participation, African American. 651 0 $a Massachusetts $x Participation, African American. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Participation, African American. 610 10 $a United States. $b Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, 54th (1863-1865) $b Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, 54th (1863-1865) 610 10 $a United States. $b Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, 55th (1863-1865) $b Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, 55th (1863-1865) 610 10 $a United States. $b Massachusetts Cavalry Regiment, 5th (1864-1865) $b Massachusetts Cavalry Regiment, 5th (1864-1865) 610 10 $a United States. $b Army $x History $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a African American soldiers $z Massachusetts $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Campaigns. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Campaigns. 610 17 $a United States. $b Army. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00533532 610 17 $a United States. $b Massachusetts Cavalry Regiment, 5th (1864-1865) $b Massachusetts Cavalry Regiment, 5th (1864-1865) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00770215 610 17 $a United States. $b Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, 54th (1863-1865) $b Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, 54th (1863-1865) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00638888 610 17 $a United States. $b Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, 55th (1863-1865) $b Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, 55th (1863-1865) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00717429 611 27 $a American Civil War (1861-1865) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01351658 650 7 $a African American soldiers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799366 650 7 $a Armed Forces $x African American troops. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01351728 650 7 $a Military campaigns. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710190 650 7 $a Military participation $x African American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353696 651 7 $a Massachusetts. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204307 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 15 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430020355.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409024827.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305013146.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018024907.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722053545.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529011628.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204084627.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110070530.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006102705.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720045302.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20171206010800.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170304032603.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20170121011412.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20161216014637.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20161110050043.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E991EDDEA5A211E6B9CB44A718183C5C 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
