The 14th United States Colored Infantry Regiment was an infantry regiment that served in the Union Army during the American Civil War. The regiment was composed of African American enlisted men commanded by white officers and was authorized by the Bureau of Colored Troops which was created by the United States War Department on May 22, 1863.Шаблон:Sfnp

Service

The 14th U.S. Colored Infantry was organized at Camp Stanton in Gallatin, Tennessee beginning November 16, 1863 and mustered in for three-year service under the command of Colonel Thomas Jefferson Morgan.Шаблон:NoteTag

The regiment was attached to Post of Gallatin, Tennessee, to January 1864. Post of Chattanooga, Tennessee, Department of the Cumberland, to November 1864. Unattached, District of the Etowah, Department of the Cumberland, to December 1864. 1st Colored Brigade, District of the Etowah, to May 1865. District of East Tennessee, to August 1865. Department of the Tennessee and Department of Georgia until March 1866.

The men of the 14th were involved in fighting at Dalton, Georgia (August 15, 1864). Company B was on the skirmish line. Following the fight, Col. Morgan noted that the "regiment had been recognized as soldiers . . . After the fight, as we marched into town through a pouring rain, a white regiment standing at rest, swung their hats and gave three rousing cheers for the 14th Colored..."Шаблон:Sfnp On September 27, 1864, the regiment saw action at Pulaski, Tennessee.

Next, the 14th USCI was involved in the Siege of Decatur, Alabama (October 27-28, 1864). Again, their performance was recognized: "As we marched inside the works, the white soldiers, who had watched the maneuver, gave us three rousing cheers."Шаблон:Sfnp Due to these experiences, the 14th was not as green as some historians have written. In late November, MGEN Thomas pulled the regiment from Chattanooga to Nashville as part of his gathering of his army in response to Hood's invasion of Tennessee.Шаблон:Sfnp

On Thursday, December 15, 1864, the 14th fought alongside many other regiments of black and white soldiers in storming and eventually taking the Confederate right flank. The next day, the battle continued and they helped defeat the Confederate Army of Tennessee. They pursued JohnBell Hood's Army back through Franklin and Williamson County - where some of the members had lived before the War. As Col. Morgan described:
