CIVIL WAR
William Wallace was a Private in Company E, 100th United States Colored Infantry Regiment.
********** BATTLE OF NASHVILLE ***********
On December 15-16, 1864, the 1st Colored Brigade (i.e., the 14th, 16th, 17th, 18th & 44th U. S. Colored Infantry Regiments), as well as the 2nd Colored Brigade (i.e., the 12th, 13th & 100th USCI Regiments) fought and provided substantial combat action(s) in defeating Lt Gen. John Bell Hood, Commander - Army Of Tennessee (C.S.A.), at the Battle Of Nashville.
Between December 17-27, 1864 the 1st & 2nd Colored Brigades continued fighting and chased Gen. Hood's Army all the way across the Tennessee River into the City Of Decatur AL (i.e., a distance of one 115 miles from Nashville TN).
On December 28, 1864, the 1st & 2nd Colored Brigades continued combat action(s) against Hood's Army in the City of Decatur AL., and, thereafter, all USCI Regiments, except for the 17th USCI, returned to Nashville.
On December 29-30, 1864, the 17th USCI Regiment continued fighting in the Battle Of Decatur AL, and, the Union Troops succeeded in causing Hood's Army to further retreat (i.e., to Toopelo MS).
Hood's "Army Of Tennessee, CSA" was completely decimated. When Hood started his "Middle Tennessee Campaign" he had 38,000 troops. However, his performance at the Battles Of Spring Hill TN (Nov 29, 1864), Franklin TN (Nov 30, 1864) & Nashville TN (Dec 15-16, 1864) dramatically reduced his Army from 38,000 troops down to only 15,000 troops.
Consequently, on January 13, 1865, Lt Gen. John Bell Hood, C.S.A. resigned his command and was not given another field command, and, also, a few months thereafter General Robert E. Lee, Commanding General, C.S.A., surrendered his entire Confederate Army at Appomattox VA.
