African Americans living in the time period directly preceding the
Civil War were influenced by the constant tension between the North
and the South. The aftereffects of the Civil War greatly affected
African-American life as well. However, during the Civil War,
slaves faced a quickly changing environment, caught between the two
sides. While Northern African Americans eventually were permitted
to join the battle for the Union, some Southern African Americans
revolted against their owners. From the new set ""Slavery in the
Americas"", ""African Americans during the Civil War"" explores
this intriguing time in American history. Topics include: African
Americans in the Union Army; the U.S. War Department's Bureau for
Colored Troops; racism in both Northern and Southern forces;
Frederick Douglass and the ""National Convention of Colored Men"";
and African-American soldiers as advocates and spokespeople for
equal rights.
