Ohio's Black soldiers have always been in the forefront of this nation's wars and the American Civil War is no exception. The state raised two infantry regiments for the United States Colored Troops during this war and then sent recruits to other regiments organizing in the South. Over 6,700 Black Ohioans served in this war and the names of many of these men have been lost until now. The Official Roster of the Soldiers of the State of Ohio in the War of the Rebellion, 1861-1866 has the rosters for the two Black regiments and additionally, the names of 1,007 more men who were listed as being unassigned to a regiment for a total of 5,092 men. This roster simply states "no further record found" for these men. The author has researched each man using the Compiled Military Service Records of Colored Troops and he has been able to identify the regiments in which these other men were assigned. In the process he was also able to identify over 1,600 more Black Ohioans who are not listed in the Official Roster of the Soldiers of the State of Ohio in the War of the Rebellion, 1861-1866. Besides listing the name of each soldier and his regiment, this book also lists the company, rank, age, birth place, enlistment and discharge information, and death and burial information if occurred during the war. The author was also able to identify a number of Blacks who served with Ohio's white volunteers both as combatants and non-combatants.

The 27th United States Colored Troops consisted largely of Ohioans. They served in the Union Army from April 1864 to September 1865 in Virginia and North Carolina. These men who were already free before the war hoped that their participation would lead to increased rights in the northern states. The creation and success of the 166 black regiments during the Civil War served as contradictory evidence against the tenets of nineteenth-century ideals of white racial superiority. Black troops had confidence in their military accomplishments, therefore they believed that their manhood should be recognized as carrying the same birthright of political and social justice as white soldiers. The men of the 27th returned to Ohio after the war. They and their families optimistically sought full access to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments and compensatory citizenship rights for their collective sacrifice. For the rest of their lives black veterans experienced both success and disappointment as they strived to obtain their due. In spite of Ohio's persistently discriminatory atmosphere, they contributed significantly to societal changes in northern communities during the postwar years. This dissertation expands the discussion of black wartime participation to include the postwar results of their involvement. It moves the conversation away from the debate over the degree of significance that can be attributed to black troops concerning Union victory or Confederate loss. Instead this project analyzes how the Civil War and African American participation affected post-bellum society. Specifically, how free Ohio blacks interpreted and understood their own participation in the Civil War. It also reveals how they and their families used their military service to negotiate an increased role in Ohio society and obtain the benefits of federal citizenship. Despite the white resistance to blacks obtaining their rights, African Americans who served in the 27th Regiment understood their role in helping to preserve the Union. Ultimately, they used their position as martial citizens to pursue personal gains. But they also gave the Ohio black community realistic hope of achieving equal status as American citizens through the tangible evidence provided by their receipt of pensions, GAR membership, and participation in Civil War commemorative activities.

In the past two decades, historians have begun to focus attention on the story and struggle of the more than 186,000 African American men who served in the Civil War. While scholars have produced books such as Forged in Battle and Black Soldiers in Blue which have greatly advanced knowledge about the role of these men during the war, relatively little has been written about what happened to these men after they returned home. There are several noteworthy books about the post-war experiences of Union soldiers. However, none of them delve deeply into the topic of African American veterans. A notable exception to this pattern of scholarship is Donald Shaffer's book After the Glory. In this book, Shaffer gives the results of his research into the post-war experience of black veterans. His groundbreaking research compares African American veterans to white veterans and, to a lesser extent, to the African American population as a whole. The goal of "With Diplomas of Patriotism" is to see whether Shaffer's conclusion holds true in Ohio. Using Springfield as a case study, African American veterans were compared with white veterans and with African Americans who did not serve in the Civil War. The results were somewhat surprising.

In 1998, the author learned about a new monument in Washington, D.C., created to honor the black soldiers and sailors who had served in the Civil War. What she was about to learn; however, was that her great grandfather's name would not be among those remembered there. Why not? Because he had not served in one of the segregated units whose members' names are engraved on the memorial wall. Instead, Crowder Pacien/Patience had served in a white regiment. An identifiably "Col'd" man, he had been a private in the 103rd Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. After having been told that there had been no black soldiers serving in white regiments, the author made a hypothesis that if there had been one such black soldier in a white regiment, as she knew, then there might have been others. This series traces the author's journey to such proof. The hundreds of names listed here should be proof enough for the "nay-sayers" to conclude that black men indeed did serve in white regiments. Chapters in Volume II include: Difficulties with Finding Facts, C-Span Book TV Presentation, Mixed Race Regiments, Honoring Civil War Ancestors, Recruitment of Black Soldiers, General Orders No. 323 and the Undercooks, Three Undercooks Garrisoned at Plymouth, N.C., A Trip to the Carlisle Barracks, Finding the Gravesites of Black Soldiers, A Gravesite Lost in North Carolina, One Descendant's Determination, and Conclusion. Chapters are followed by lists: Additional Black Soldiers Alphabetized, Additional Black Soldiers by States, and Final Resting Places. Numerous photographs and illustrations, End Notes, Sources, and an index to full-names, subjects and places add to the value of this work. Historians and Civil War "buffs" alike will find new information revealed in this series, even though so many years have passed since the last shot of the war was fired.
