After initially resisting the idea, the Union Army began to allow black soldiers to form fighting units. What all-black regiment gained notoriety for its attack on the Confederates at Fort Wagner?
Answer 54th Massachusetts Infantry
The 54th Massachusetts proved that African Americans could fight, and fight bravely. Their heroism at the battle of Fort Wagner would encourage the formation of further all-black units.
