Possibly three of the
residents in Mount Olive Cemetery were present for Juneteenth ... The 29th
United States Colored Infantry was an infantry regiment of United States Colored
Troops from Illinois that served in the Union Army during the American Civil
War. The unit transferred to Texas and was probably present in Galveston when
Union General Gordon Granger announced emancipation on Juneteenth (19 June
1865). The regiment was mustered out in November 1865. The 29th Connecticut
Colored Infantry Regiment alongside their compatriots from the CT 31st
Colored Infantry Regiments were sent to enforce the emancipation of enslaved people
and oversee the peaceful transition of power from the Confederacy. The
two units, who had seen action throughout the war, arrived in Texas on June
10th and remained until they were mustered out of service in November of
1865. |
