Here's a link to a post that I just published on my pancocojams cultural blog.
http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2012/01/two-songs-civil-war-colored-soldiers.html Two Songs Civil War Colored Soldiers Sung*


That post features lyrics and videos of these two Civil War songs:

"GIVE US A FLAG" (also known as "The Colored Volunteer"

and

"MARCHING SONG OF THE FIRST ARKANSAS"

*"Colored" was the referent of respect for African Americans during that time. However, that referent has been retired since at least th late 1960s.
