2nd South Carolina Colored Infantry Regiment

The 2nd South Carolina Colored Infantry Regiment was an African-American infantry regiment that served in the Union Army during the American Civil War. It was among the scores of units raised starting in the middle of the war to augment Federal troop strength by tapping into the large Southern population of former slaves. Harriet Tubman lead the regiment in the Raid at Combahee Ferry in which roughly 800 slaves were freed. It gained notoriety among certain quarters for its actions during the controversial looting and burning of the pro-Confederate town of Darien, Georgia. This operation was part of the Union strategy to damage the Confederate states' ability to supply food and materials towards their war effort.

The regiment and its role in burning Darien are featured in the 1989 Civil War film Glory.
