Stanton, reflecting the Union’s evolving military policy and the federal government’s role in organizing African American regiments during the war’s pivotal middle years. 204 204 Washington, November 16, 1863. U.S. Colored Troops – Civil War Officer Appointment Signed by Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton. Washington, November 16, 1863. U.S. Colored Troops Civil War Officer Appointment. Official War Department printed and manuscript-completed appointment issued during the Union Army’s first year of organized African American regimental expansion, signed by Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton. This appointment commissions a Captain in the 7th Regiment, U.S. Colored Troops, to rank from November 14, 1863, with orders to report for duty in Frederick, Maryland under the authority of the Middle Department, the Union military district overseeing Maryland and surrounding areas. Created within the first year of the Bureau of Colored Troops, established May 22, 1863, early U.S.C.T. commissions are among the most significant administrative acts of the Civil War. The document bears the signature of Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton, whose direct authority over the Bureau of Colored Troops enabled the swift formation and commissioning of U.S.C.T. units. The identity of the officer remains unknown due to a clerical error in which a War Department clerk inserted the word “Captain” in the space reserved for the recipient’s name — an unusual error on an early U.S.C.T. appointment. Additional manuscript notations reference Capt. William Royal of the 7th U.S.C.T. and senior Middle Department officers. Light toning and minor wear consistent with age. A document directly connected to the creation and administration of one of the Union Army’s African American regiments. VF to XF condition. ��Est. $1500-2500
