| − | This article, [http://dl.lib.brown.edu/jpegs/1292948033108625.jpg ''A Comrade to Comrades,''] discusses what the African-American soldiers are ultimately fighting for, their "aspirations for racial betterment." Retired Colonel Charles Young states, "Do not follow, but set the pace for others in doing duty, in discipline, in loyalty and leadership." This shows the spirit he has for the African-American soldiers to succeed and in a way feels as if he is giving them a half-time pep talk to finish through and end the war. The war ends 5 months after this edition was published. | + | This article, [http://dl.lib.brown.edu/jpegs/1292948033108625.jpg ''A Comrade to Comrades,''] discusses what the African-American soldiers are ultimately fighting for, their "aspirations for racial betterment."
