"By 1862 there were more than 3,000 members of colored military units. This is a surprisingly large number, as the entire colored population of the state (Louisiana) was only 18,547, nearly 11,00 lived in New Orleans."

Would very much like to know the anmes of these units or individuals who may have served. Any help appreciated.
