Kamila [148]

The term for the African American ladies memorial association that arranged the mourning for union soldiers buried in charleston is, “Patriotic Association”.

<h3>Who are African Americans?</h3>

African Americans are the people who are born in America but they have their lineage from Africa. The Africans came to America as slaves to the colonial masters. They started living here in the same conditions and established their families in America itself.

The conditions of the blacks and other colored people in America were miserable for a long time, they were considered American citizens neither by the white people nor by the government.

So, the phrase "Patriotic Association" refers to the African American ladies memorial association that organized the services for the union troops interred in Charleston.
