The ground was open. The enemy was entrenched. The officers had been ordered to the rear — the men would advance without them, led only by their sergeants and their own resolve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey crossed the open field under withering fire. They took the works. And in a single morning of combat, \u003cstrong\u003efourteen Black soldiers earned the Medal of Honor\u003c\/strong\u003e — the most awarded to any unit in a single engagement in the Civil War.

They fought in the final campaigns of the Civil War around Petersburg and Richmond, and were among the first Union troops to enter Richmond when the Confederate capital fell on April 3, 1865. The Battle of New Market Heights, fought just weeks before the corps was formally organized, stands as the defining moment of their legacy — a charge that cost them dearly and proved everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePremium All-Over-Print Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% polyester\u003c\/strong\u003e — durable, quick-drying, and built for lasting wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo weight options:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.0 oz\/yd² (lightweight) or 6.0 oz\/yd² (structured feel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide seams \u0026amp;
