| | Carter Generations Carter Patriots in the Union Army and Navy for emancipation numbered 863 in the Army and 59 who served in the Navy. How many and which ones were brothers, cousins, fathers or uncles to who, we do not know but it is a certainty they or their fathers and mothers were related in the spiritual desire to be free of chattel slavery. And, regretfully, an estimated 40 percent or more died for America's sins or put another way for the emancipation of "the least of us" and to save the Union for the people, of the people and by the people rather than prevailing financial interests opposing it. | 1 | Carter, Beverly | Union | Infantry | 10th Regiment, United States Colored Infantry
