Aaron Anderson-- Part 5: Blacks in the Navy and Medal of Honor Recipients


The U.S. navy during the Civil War was not as segregated as the Army.  However, blacks almost always held the lowest ranks.  Aaron Anderson was a landsman, one of those.

Even so, many Blacks served in the Navy and 25 of them were Medal of Honor recipients.
