The Sixth Regiment of the United States Colored Troops was a military unit that was formed during the Civil War in Trenton, New Jersey. The regiment was composed primarily of African American soldiers who were recruited from various parts of the state. The regiment was organized in October 1863 and included over 1,000 enlisted men and officers.

The Sixth Regiment was initially assigned to garrison duty in Maryland and Virginia, where they provided support to Union forces operating in the area. The unit was later transferred to the Army of the James, which was engaged in operations in the Richmond-Petersburg area.

The Sixth Regiment saw action in several major battles, including the Battle of Drewry's Bluff and the Battle of Cold Harbor. The unit also participated in the siege of Petersburg and the subsequent pursuit of Confederate forces as they retreated towards Appomattox.

The Sixth Regiment was disbanded in November 1865, following the end of the Civil War. The unit had a distinguished record of service, and its members received numerous awards and commendations for their bravery and valor in battle. The Sixth Regiment played an important role in the Union's victory in the Civil War and helped to pave the way for the eventual abolition of slavery in the United States.
