Nick Biddle of Pottsville was a long-time member of the local militia. His unit was mobilized into the First Defenders and sent to Washington to guard the capital. On April 18, 1861, while marching through Baltimore, his unit was attacked by a mob throwing rocks and bricks, and Biddle suffered a severe head wound. The above photograph of the elderly Biddle was sold at the Great Central Fair in June, 1864.
1863 Philadelphia, PA
^In the face of the impending Confederate invasion of Pennsylvania in June of 1863, the young African American educator and activist Octavius Catto worked to organize a black regiment for defense of the state. When they arrived in Harrisburg they were turned back. State authorities were not yet ready or willing to accept black soldiers. This rallying cry is signed by forty-five Philadelphia African American leaders – clergymen, educators, businessmen – joined by Frederick Douglass, touring the north encouraging African American enlistment.
^On June 22nd the Adjutant-General of the Army authorized the recruitment of “three Regiments of Infantry, to be composed of colored men.” On July 6 a mass meeting of African Americans ratified the text of this dramatic broadside, printed on three joined sheets. Frederick Douglass, still busy in town, joined fifty-three local leaders in signing the call to arms.

General Order No. 329: Protection of Slaves
^The document directly above^,
is a recruiting poster directed at black men during the Civil War.
It refers to efforts by the Lincoln administration to provide equal pay for black soldiers and equal protection for black POWs.
General Order No. 329
Issued by the War Department on
October 3, 1863,
was issued to facilitate recruiting in the states of Maryland, Missouri, Tennessee, and Kentucky.
It stated that if a slave was accepted for recruitment they were entitled to compensation for their service and labor but not to exceed more than three hundred dollars.
This issued General Order shows that many slaves would escape their owners to become a part of the United States Colored Troops {USCT} in order to become free from slavery and their owners.
The original poster is located in the Records of the Adjutant General's Office, 1780's–1917, Record Group 94Kentucky 1864
Camp Nelson, 12th Regiment, USCT Recruitment poster, 1864.
Camp Nelson was the third largest recruiting and training camp for African Americans in the United States in which the camp provided the Union Army with over 10,000 troops.
Many African American men brought their families to Camp Nelson to seek refuge and it was here where they finally gained their freedom.
With this gained freedom the camp started to put out recruitment posters specifically to attract African American Troops.
The United States Colored Troops (USCT) were regiments of the United States Army during the American Civil War that were composed of African American ("colored") soldiers.
First recruited in 1863, by the end of the Civil War, the men of the 175 regiments of the USCT constituted approximately one-tenth of the Union Army. The men of the USCT were the forerunners of the well-known Buffalo Soldiers, who fought in the Indian Wars later in the nineteenth century and received their nickname in the American West.

(Philadelphia, 1863 or 1864).
The reverse of this dramatic illustration is a recruiting poster. From its reference to emancipation, and the phrase urging “colored men” to come “to the nearest United States Camp,” (rather than any specific camp) suggests this handbill may have been circulated by Union troops in the South.

Genesis 22:1-24
Abraham’s Faith Confirmed
1/ Now it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!”And he said, “Here I am.” 2/ Then He said, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.” 3/ So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him. 4/ Then on the third day Abraham lifted his eyes and saw the place afar off. 5/ And Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey; the lad and I will go yonder and worship, and
will come back to you.”
6/ So Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and the two of them went together. 7/ But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” Then he said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” 8/ And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So the two of them went together. 9/ Then they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood. 10/ And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. 11/ But the Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” So he said, “Here I am.” 12/ And He said, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.”
13/ Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
14/ And Abraham called the name of the place, The-Lord-Will-Provide {Jehovah-jireh*KJV}; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.”

15/ Then the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, 16/ and said: “By Myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son— 17/ blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. 18/ In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed,
because you have obeyed My voice.”
19/ So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.

The Family of Nahor
20/ Now it came to pass after these things that it was told Abraham, saying, “Indeed Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor: 21/ Huz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram, 22/ Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.” 23 And Bethuel begot Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
24/ His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Thahash, and Maachah.
