    The Fourteenth Regiment Rhode Island Heavy Artillery (Colored) in the War to Preserve the Union, 1861-1865
    An all-African-American volunteer regiment, the 14
    th
    Rhode Island Heavy Artillery served honorably during the Civil War. In 1862, under pressure from African Americans who wished to fight but were denied the opportunity, the War Department announced that states could form regiments “consisting entirely of colored citizens.” Eventually, 179,000 African Americans would serve in the Army, with 19,000 more in the Navy. Rhode Island Governor James Smith obtained permission on July 19, 1863, to enlist and organize a colored company of heavy artillery.
    Due to the high volume of volunteers, the proposed company instead became a regiment of twelve companies. The 14
    th
    RI consisted of nearly 1,800 men, recruited from Rhode Island, Connecticut, and other northern states. Seventy-seven white officers also joined the regiment. They trained at Dexter Training Ground in Providence and later were stationed at Narragansett Bay.In 1863, the 14
    th
    RI’s First Battalion was ordered to Louisiana, soon joined by the Second and Third.
