Asian Immigrants

          It is
impossible to know how many Chinese soldiers fought in the Civil War. At the
time, the census only had three racial categories: white, black, or mulatto. Many
Chinese were classified as white when they enlisted.

About 10 years before the Civil War began,
there was a large influx of Chinese immigrants to the United States, who worked
in gold mines, on farms, and in factories. They were also heavily involved in the
development of the American railroad system. Unfortunately, this caused a lot
of tension between Americans and Chinese immigrants due to ethnic
discrimination.

 

Joseph Pierce

 He was born in Canton, China. His father sold
him to an American sea captain who took him to Connecticut. He grew up working
on a farm. He enlisted on July 26th, 1862. He was part of the 14th Connecticut
Volunteer Infantry. After the Battle of Gettysburg he was promoted to corporal.
This made him the highest-ranking Chinese-American in the Union Army.

After the war, he lived in Meriden,
married an American woman, and worked as an engraver in the Meriden Britannia
Company. He didn’t seem to be involved in any of the veteran organizations
after the war.
