EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "CIVIL WAR: BLACK TROOPS" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured in 1864, this wood engraving showcases the unwavering determination and resilience of African American troops serving in the Union Army during the Civil War. In this particular scene, we witness these brave men working diligently together to construct a road amidst challenging conditions. With sledgehammers and carts at their disposal, they tirelessly chip away at rocks and clear debris from their path. Their united efforts symbolize not only their commitment to building physical infrastructure but also their fight for freedom and equality. Set against the backdrop of the war-torn South, this image serves as a powerful reminder of the pivotal role played by black soldiers during one of America's darkest periods. Despite facing discrimination and prejudice both on and off the battlefield, these troops remained steadfast in their dedication to preserving the Union. This French wood engraving captures an important chapter in our nation's history – one that highlights not just military prowess but also resilience, unity, and hope for a better future. It stands as a testament to those who fought against injustice while constructing literal pathways towards progress.
