The Militia Act of 1862 allowed African Americans to serve in the Union Army, formally recognizing their contributions to the war effort. This legislation provided an opportunity for many formerly enslaved individuals to fight for their freedom and the Union cause, leading to the enlistment of approximately 180,000 Black soldiers. However, the act also reflected the broader societal tensions surrounding race and military service, as African Americans faced discrimination and lower pay compared to their white counterparts. Overall, the Militia Act marked a significant step toward the inclusion of African Americans in the fight for their rights and freedoms during the Civil War.
