HIST221: Interactive essay: Historical discussion on African American Soldiers during the Civil War

I’m working on a History exercise and need support.

Tell the class the history of this person(s) or units as it relates to African American Military History and remember to cite where you found your information. Also read two of your peers Soldier discussions and comment on the units or people they chose in comparison to the ones your wrote about. You will have you investigate the participation of “Your Topic”. The forum will ask you to highlight all the battles or events the one topic you chose from the list participated in the war.

You may use your book and the internet to research sources to help you in your forum. You will need three distinct and solid references to show your research on this topic posted in your forum and you will need to read three of your peers posts to discuss and debate the history of the Reconstruction era.

Remember that this is a formal essay and you need an introduction, body, and conclusion.

Topic: Cathay Williams or a.k.a. William Cathay, a soldier of the 8th Indiana Volunteer Infantry Regiment
