The Louisiana Native Guards, an African American Regiment, entered the Civil War as a militia group in support of the Confederacy. Following the 1862 fall of New Orleans, officers and soldiers from the militia unit combined to form the Guards, becoming the first officially-sanctioned African American regiment in the Union Army.
