Re: The Congressional Debate - March 1865
The first group listed, the 18th Ga. BATALLION, as opposed to the 18th Ga. REGIMENT, surrendered a total of 16 men and one officer. Thus the 8 black musicians and cooks comprised 50 percent of those surrenderd. The 18th Regiment surrendered 52 men, if memory serves, and three officers. I don't know their racial makeup. Stan
