Delaware Directory of African American Civil War Veterans

This Directory documents the names, companies, and regiments of 1,868 African American Delaware residents in 49 regiments who were veterans of the Civil War. The total encompasses 1,446 native-born residents and 422 veterans who moved to Delaware after the war.

This Directory does not document all African American veterans. For example, new post-war residents who did not file for a pension are not recorded in any records. There are many other examples. There is no known confirmed archived information that documents the number of Delaware’s African American veterans of the Civil War. This Directory research, therefore, is designed to focus only on soldiers with documented confirmation of service.

For more detail about the Directory, see About this Directory.
