Is the image of Storming Fort Wagner reversed? Avalon 00:10, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

If you were refering to the older version of the image [1], then yes, it was reversed. A newer, correct, version of the image has since been uploaded [2]. Jatkins 19:08, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Current pictures?

Can someone lead me to pics of what it looks like now? The only images I can seem to find are artwork of the battles. Hanz ofbyotch (talk) 21:03, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Sections

I've divided this into sections and re-arranged the content a bit, but it should all still be there. Does anyone know what the current situation is? I thought I saw somewhere the site was being built on. Xyl 54 (talk) 13:20, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Extended Quote

I’ve moved a large chunk of text to here; it’s in the wrong place (it should be at Second Battle of Fort Wagner) but I’m not even sure if it should be included anywhere. See discussion here on the subject. Xyl 54 (talk) 12:58, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

The 54th Regiment

The regiment that fought in the battle of Fort Wagner is the 54'th regiment. The 54'th regiment was the first African-American regiment in the war. This regiment also fought for the union but was still a heated discution among the North. Many people were open to the idea of free African-Americans but not the idea of rights for all.

This battle prooved to the north that all races have the same spirit and pride of their country on the battle field.

At the end of the battle the south burried the caucation general with his army (the 54'th regiment) because they viewed this as an insult. But instead the general's parents thanked the south for doing so. As thoughtfully shown in the movie Glory.

• Actually the 1st Kansas Cavalry (colored) was in action in the West before the 54th saw combat. And the 1st South Carolina (U.S.) and 1st North Carolina (U.S.) were also formed, although unofficially. People just think the 54th was the first African-American regiment because they got all the press.Thomas R. Fasulo (talk) 02:42, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Irrelevant opinions of treatment of blacks after WW2

I have removed this since it has no place in the article. The article is for facts, not opinions on the treatments of blacks leading up to the present day.
