| Details | Although many black men served during the Revolutionary War, the Militia Act of 1792 made it illegal for Black men to enlist in state militias. the 1862 Militia Act changed all of that, leading to the creation of Connecticut’s 29th and 30th Regiments during the Civil War. During this presentation, John Mills of the Alex Breanne Corporation will delve into the many unknown stories representing the African American men who served during the Revolutionary War and the lineage of service within their families that continued until the Civil War. |
