This is an electronic Monument built by our group to commemorate the Chinese serving in the American Civil War. We would like to honor the Chinese people who fought for freedom for their host, in this new country, the United States of America. Not too many people knew that the Chinese had served in the American Civil War, and we would like to spread this message across the Continents and pay respect to their participation.
Many people have contributed to this effort. This website collects writings from various
writers and researchers on the subject. Credit is given to all contributors, no matter the
contribution is large or small. Credit will be given where credit is due.
The goal of this website is to spread the News that the Chinese people did serve in the American Civil War. Please feel free to send this web site address to your friends.
