The Massachusetts 54th was the first Civil-War regiment of African Americans, thus they were the first Union Regiment to be all-black (albeit heavily segregated, with white officers). In a literal sense, by adding black men to US Army ranks, the 'face' was no longer white-only. Clarification: African Americans, including both slaves and freedmen had fought in all American wars since the revolution, albeit not in race-organized units.
