Overall: 
Informative and concise Civil War fact! "The soldiers at Milliken's Bend had no prior experience with firearms before joining the Union Army, and demonstrated very poor marksmanship during training. Colonel Hermann Lieb commanded the camp, which was manned by an infantry brigade of African Americans soldiers and some cavalry from Illinois." appears to be missing a citation (unless the intended citation is Miller, which is separated by a paragraph break and may need to be repeated for good measure). Accepting offline sources in good faith. GeneralPoxter (talk) 21:29, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
- @GeneralPoxter: - Yes, it was suppose to be Miller - a copy editor split the paragraph and evidently didn't realize they broke a reference away from its text. I've added the reference back to where it was. Hog Farm Talk 21:33, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
