Even though they were allowed to serve as soldiers what type of discrimination did African Americans face in the union army?

Answer 1

African Americans in the Union Army still faced discrimination, including unequal pay compared to white soldiers, limited opportunities for advancement and leadership roles, and segregated units. They were often given menial labor tasks rather than being allowed to engage in combat. Additionally, African American soldiers were often treated poorly by their white counterparts and faced racial slurs and mistreatment within the army.
