Title
The letters of Louden S. Langley
Creator
Langley, Louden S.
James Fuller, editor
Description
Langley was an African- American born into a large farm family in Huntington, Vermont. Educated and articulate, he posted many newspaper editorials decrying the colonization schemes of the mid-1800's, the evils of slavery, and the unjust treatment of Black soldiers by the Union Army during the Civil War. In 1863, Langley enlisted into the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment. After the war he returned to the Charleston, South Carolina, area. Three of his letters appear in this article: on colonization (1854), on slavery and the justification of war (1855), and on equal treatment (1864).
