In comparison to the total population in the United States. a disproportionately high percentage of soldiers of API descent are listed on both the Union and Confederate rosters. By volunteering to serve in the Armed Forces of their adopted homeland. they risked their lives and declared their allegiances as vigorously as any other community. Instead of honoring and recognizing their service. our country denied these veterans the ability to naturalize through the bigoted laws enacted during this period. I believe that for their contribution to our Nations history. and the injustices done to them despite their patriotism. veterans of API descent who fought in the U.S. Civil War are worthy of recognition by the United States House of Representatives.
