Union regiment of fugitive slaves debated in 1862
Stanton transmits a Civil War era exchange about whether Gen. Hontér in South Carolina organized a regiment of fugitive slaves for Union defense. The letter from Adjutant General to Secretary Cameron asks if such a force exists and about authority to arm clothing and employ slaves, while Sherman’s instructions permit using loyal persons without color restrictions.
