The Picayune is a small, dingy half

Negroes in the nev olutio nary war.
Free negroes and negro slaves served
side by side, and marched shoulder to
shoulder, under the command of Wash

in the war of 1912, it is well known that
great many free negroes, and some
slaves, we believe, served in the army un-

and the glory of the battle of New Or
