How were the colored troops treated during the Civil War?

The colored troops were sometimes treated horribly by their comrades, on either side of the war. many Southerners were afraid that if the colored troops were given guns, they would retaliate against them and kill all the people in the South. some men looked down upon them because they thought that since their skin color was darker, they were slower to learn things. Not True!! Some documented journals say that the colored troops were just as good, if not better, than the white troops.
