Muslims have been present at every defining moment in American history, including the Civil War.
Malika Bilal, Senior Presenter at Al Jazeera English, tells the story of Muhammad Kahn. Kahn was an Afghan immigrant who came to the United States in 1861.
He fought in the Union Army and left behind a 200-page pension file documenting his experiences.
While uncovering Kahn's story, Malika discovers others who were involved in the Civil War.
Nicholas Said, an African immigrant, fought in the United States Colored Troops. A senior Tunisian official wrote a letter to the U.S. government in 1864, urging the end of slavery.
