There was an increase of Afro-Americans in many areas of civilian and military life after the US Civil War.

Certainly the "West" was a good place for freed slaves to go inasmuch as much of the new territories either had farmlands in which freed slaves had experience as well as handling livestock. Both these types of work were found in the South before the US Civil War.
