How was the battle of fort pillow important?
The Battle of Fort Pillow was a controversal battle. The Union decided it was a massacre and used this to generate support to continue the war. There were many accounts and newspapers that stated all the black soldiers were killed. This is not true; there were nearly 60 taken prisoner. It was one of the first battles where the Confederates had captured black soldiers. How would they treat them? Were they runaway slaves or prisoners of war? The Union soldiers defending Fort Pillow were of two groups. The black soldiers had been slaves in that area of Northern Mississippi or Western Tennessee. The white soldiers were also from Western Tennessee and some had deserted from the Confederate Army. The white troops were part of a cavalry unit that had been terrorizing the local farmers. About half of the Confederate army attacking the fort were from Tennessee and saw the white soldiers as robbers and thieves and saw the blacks as slaves. There was a lot of animosity among them. However, the Confederates did capture 268 men and released another 70 for medical treatment aboard the Union gunboats.
