There is no such conflict as the African American War. You might be thinking of the Mexican-American War.
African Americans distinguished themselves even in segregated units. The Tuskegee Airmen earned several unit and individual citations for service escorting bomber groups.

Truman ended segregation in the military.
Yes, African Americans faced discrimination in the military. They were placed in all-black units, of which only 10 percent were sent to combat. Most African American troops were confined to such noncombat duties as unloading ships, working in kitchens, or constructing barracks.
