That African Americans be accepted into the Union military Allowed African-Americans to participate as war laborers and soldiers
True
African American soldiers who fought for the Union during the Civil War were primarily known as United States Colored Troops (USCT). This designation was formalized in 1863, allowing African Americans to serve in combat roles. Approximately 180,000 African American men enlisted in the USCT, playing a crucial role in the Union's victory and in the fight for their own freedom and rights. Their participation significantly contributed to changing perceptions about African Americans and their capabilities.
