The “Fighting Ninth”
Massachusetts Infantry: Boston’s Irish
American Regiment and the Civil War Wednesday, November 16, 2011, 6 PM Boston Public Library, Orientation Room. The Ninth Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry was a unit
of Irish Bostonians who chose to bear arms for the Union. Boston's Irish
American soldiers exhibited their loyalty to the United States and acted as
citizens, strengthening their identity as Americans in the process. The wartime
experiences of Irish Americans helped bring about recognition of their full
citizenship through naturalization, and also caused the United States to
pressure Britain to abandon its centuries-old policy of refusing to recognize
the naturalization of British subjects abroad.
Presented by lawyer Christian G. Samito,
instructor at Boston College and Boston University School of Law. http://www.bpl.org/news/local_family_history_series.htm
