You FALSE STATEMENT (provided in the form of a spurious "question") is historically inaccurate! MANY, MANY, MANY of the African-Americans BOTH enlisted and fought in the American Revolution (often with the promise of 'freedom' in return). In fact, the first soldier to die in the American Revolution was an African-American (AA) named Crispus Attucks and U.S. museums are loaded with memorials of AAs who fought valiantly in EVERY war fought either in or by the United States.
Because they were trying to fight for their freedom.
During the Civil War, free African Americans often chose to enlist in the Union Army, motivated by the desire to fight for their freedom and the abolition of slavery. Enslaved African Americans, on the other hand, made critical decisions to escape to Union lines, seeking liberation and opportunities to support the war effort. Some also engaged in acts of resistance and sabotage against their enslavers. Both groups played pivotal roles in shaping the war's outcomes and advancing the cause of emancipation.
If you are free of the cancer for more then 5+ years, you are allowed to enlist.
African American were not allowed to enlist in the Union army until after 1862. There were even African Americans that fought on the side of the confederacy most were part of a slave labor force. The atmosphere of the south did not change very much after the end of the war despite the slaves being free.
