One might consider that it is brave to contest the president about your own pay. I personally, consider that it was something that one in his situation must do. Gooding help to bring up the hypocrisy of having the African Americans helping with the war while treating them as second class citizens. In the end, Congress did equalize the pay, but sadly, Gooding died as a prisoner of war at Andersonville.
