Yeah, Sergeant Carney was a member of the 54th Massachusetts Infantry. The action for which he was awarded his medal was the assault on Battery Wagner defending Charleston, S.C. The movie "Glory" is based on the action. The bronze base-relief of the unit located in Massachusetts was defaced by the BLM/Antifa crowd.
