African Americans serving in the Union military were primarily assigned the most dangerous tasks. While their contributions were significant, they faced discrimination and often were given the most perilous duties. Additionally, initially, African American soldiers were paid less than their white counterparts, and they did not receive equal treatment throughout the war. They were not placed in the safest battle positions either.
