Lincoln knew that there was still racial distrust of Africans even in the North. He needed the support of border states that still allowed slavery and feared unrest at freeing all of the slaves. Still, he did not always dissuade the inclusion of black volunteer groups in the Union Army, wherever his generals thought proper. By August, 1862, aware of the need for Union enlistees, Congress authorized the formation of "test" regiments, segregated and led by white officers, within the Army proper.
