Battle of Pascagoula — 26th New York / 31st USCT, April 12–13, 1865

This premium all-over print tee commemorates the Battle of Pascagoula, fought on April 12–13, 1865, by the 26th New York Infantry and the 31st United States Colored Troops. Just days after Lee's surrender at Appomattox, these regiments engaged Confederate forces in one of the final battles of the Civil War, demonstrating courage and determination even as the war drew to a close.

The 31st USCT, composed of African American soldiers who fought for their freedom and the preservation of the Union, proved their valor alongside the 26th New York in this coastal Mississippi engagement. This tee honors their service and sacrifice during the war's final days.

Why the Battle of Pascagoula Matters

The Battle of Pascagoula represents the determination of Union forces to complete their mission even as the Confederacy collapsed. The 31st USCT, like other United States Colored Troops regiments, faced discrimination even as they served — lower pay, inferior equipment, and the constant threat of execution if captured. Yet they fought with distinction at Pascagoula and throughout the war, proving their courage and commitment to freedom. This tee isn't just apparel — it's a wearable memorial to the nearly 180,000 Black soldiers who served in the USCT and changed the course of American history.
