African Americans played a crucial role in the Civil War, both as soldiers and as laborers. Approximately 180,000 African American men served in the Union Army, fighting for their freedom and the abolition of slavery. Additionally, countless others contributed by working in support roles, such as cooks, nurses, and laborers, helping to sustain the Union war effort. Their participation not only challenged prevailing racial stereotypes but also laid the groundwork for future civil rights advancements.
