Many blacks did fight in the south but not as much as blacks in the north. Blacks in the south that fought were either free land owners and were fighting to keep their land, or they were slaves of owners who were drafted in the war and they fought alongside their owners.
Whites fought back during the Civil Rights Movement by using voilence and by becoming more voilent toward blacks
Some were conscripted [drafted ] and probably did not want to fight, some free Blacks from the North enlisted, and wanted to fight to free enslaved Blacks.
Douglass spent his time as an abolitionist lecturing, writing, and meeting with government officials during the Civil War trying to convince the powers that be ( including Lincoln) to put blacks in uniform and let them fight. Eventually, over 250,000 blacks served in the Union armies.
that would be called the civil war but there were wars earlier in time where they were frontliners
Blacks, or African-Americans should fight openly against segregation. Just as during the Civil Rights Movement, standing up for what they believe is right will bring them results. Nobody should acquiesce to segregation, because equality is a basic human right.
Actually, the South brought their black slaves with them to fight in the war. So it is false that they weren't allowed to fight.
Black people were not allowed to fight because the war was over their freedom -edit- They were believed to be inferior.

Yes they were promised to get there freedom, so the slaves fought for the south.

They WERE alowed to fight, thats why the Confederates were so out-numbered.
Blacks should demand equality and civil rights.

alot because they wanted to help fight for their county too, so blacks were allowed to enter the war...and fight on the front lines.
