A look at three United States Colored Troop regiments in the last days of the Civil War and beyond.
As the Confederacy collapsed, the men of the United States Colored Troops (USCT) continued to serve their community and their country. From marching through the country-side to free enslaved people from "owners" keeping them illegally, to putting out the fires Confederates set that threatened to destroy Richmond, the last days of the war saw the USCT greeted as liberators in many parts of the South. In the post-war world, the USCT would build schools and orphanages for children once held as slaves and work for racial equality in the South and North.
