b. the troops were european.
c. the troops were from a border state.
d. the troops were former confederate soldiers.

The correct answer is A. The attack on Fort Wagner in 1863 was carried out by African American troops.

The Union forces that fought in the attack belonged to the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, completely made up of African Americans from the northern states.

Massachusetts 54 was born thanks to the insistence of the Republican governor of Massachusetts, John Andrew, who had been one of the most enthusiastic supporters of the idea of ​​recruiting African-Americans to fight the rebels. Governor Andrew, with the inestimable support of Frederick Douglas, Harriet Beecher and other famous abolitionists, convinced the war department to carry out his plan to recruit a regiment of free black men from Massachusetts, with the only condition that the officers were white.
