The 107th Regiment, United States Colored Troops, was organized at Louisville, KY from 3 May to 15 September 1864. It participated in the Siege of Petersburg, the bombardment and capture of Fort Fisher, the capture of Wilmington, and the occupation of Raleigh, and saw the surrender of Johnston and his army at Bennett Place near the end of April in 1865. The regiment remained on duty, largely in North Carolina, until mustering out on 22 November 1866.
