(14)  Sergeant George Johnson (1800's) - A member of the 35th United 
States Colored Infantry (U.S.C.I.) Johnson was one of almost 200,000 
black soldiers who fought for the Union during the Civil War. He was 
seriously wounded but survived the war. Many former slaves were anxious 
to prove that they deserved freedom and equality by fighting alongside 
the white soldiers. By the end of the war, almost a quarter of the 
Union Army was made up of black soldiers.
