Many Confederate soldiers did not consider Colored Troops* as humans, and were thus far more willing to kill them. Eye-witnesses on both sides record times when Confederates murdered Colored Troops AFTER the latter had attempted to surrender.
* Yes, that was the officialname at the time, and the initials "C.T." on a military tomb was badge of honor for the surviving family.
institutional racism (apex)
Because this was the highest level of education for blacks. if they had more professional people graduating with degrees there would be more blacks available to serve and defend other blacks seeing that the whites often time didnt.
Blacks and whites were segregated socially and politically. Although not illegal (most places), interracial marriage was frowned upon, and whites typically did not hang around blacks (or vice versa). Blacks also had different jobs than whites, typically more hardworking for less pay. Blacks also had very little political liberties. Although granted the right to vote in 1865, blacks were hindered from voting (especially in the Southern US) in various ways until 1957. Segregation means separation, and whites and blacks were separated from many aspects of society. There were white and black neighborhoods, white and black schools, white and black restaurants, white and black bathrooms, etc.
Mostly because the whites did not want to do the hard work so they just brought blacks to do it.
Whites were probably better equipped since they had more legal access to weapons.They were more likely to be acquitted since a lot of juries were all whites.They better stuff on their side like the police, fire department, and the military.

Whites fought back during the Civil Rights Movement by using voilence and by becoming more voilent toward blacks
Either way you're stereotyping a whole race of people and that's wrong.

No more, but no less.
No. We are equally intelligent
No, but there are more blacks and Latinos combined than whites. As of 2009, Latinos make up 27.4% of the total population, and blacks make up 25.2%. By comparison, Caucasians (whites) make up 44.1% of the total population.
blacks contribute to the civil war by being part of the war many of them died on the side of the union because the union was against slavery and most of them wanted to be free and have rights. More black people volunteered to be in war than whites
Cause whites are white they live different and have more money and food and more fancy stuff to build with and blacks are poor

After the Civil War was over, all was still not well. Everything that had been destroyed by the war had to be rebuilt, including the government in the South. Laws were passed to give equal rights to blacks, but blacks continued to be treated differently. Read more about Reconstruction, the time after the Civil War, when the country began to recover from the fighting. After the Civil War, it took over 100 years for blacks to have the same equal rights as whites. Three amendments to the U.S. Constitution helped blacks have the same opportunities as whites and have the same right to vote. The Reconstruction Acts were also part of this fight. These made the South give blacks their political rights.
