Best Answer

Blacks were initially denied the right to serve in the military. However, due to a shortage of manpower, they were accepted. They made up about fifteen percent of the United States Naval Corps. Admiral Perry, while at first not happy having blacks on his ship, later wrote a letter of praise about their bravery during battles.
