ANSWER : The actions that African Americans took before, during, and after the war to secure their freedom and right's as a citizen had many steps, but at the end they accomplished what they planned to do.
Before The War
To secure their freedom rights after the war African Americans enlisted in the army to be part of the Union.There was many reasons for African Americans to join the Civil War.Free slaves could sometimes dress in disguise, they did this to fight for other slaves' freedom.African Americans were allowed in the war until the Emancipation Proclamation.On the Union side, but doesn't happen that often, slaves may have fought their masters on the opposing Confederate side.
During The War
The treatment that a color solider received was substandard, and they often bore the brunt of ridicule and violence.Life of these solider's wasn't that simple and easy.Though they fought as equals they weren't treated like it, they weren't treated like the white soldiers were treated.They were paid fewer than the white soldiers were paid.They were only paid seven dollars per month, unlike the white soldiers who got paid ten dollars per month.The African American unit received the least desirable missions and most dangerous ones. As a result there was a higher percentage of colored soldiers being injured or killed.The amount of African Americans who died during the Civil War was about thirty seven thousand.African Americans in the Civil troops fought for more than the preservation of the Union.It took one hundred years for their dreams to become true, that dream was to be equal and free.These African American soldiers took a big step in the correct path through their service to the country.
After The War
Emancipation at the end of the war meant a renovation of hope to the African Americans - now that they have further economic, social, and political opportunities.Some institutions were centers of debate over what kind of education and preparation African Americans needed to make their new route in the world.They assure their rights by training and educating themselves to create a new position in society.Some of these institutions are Howard University, Tuskegee, and Hampton.
