African Americans contributed to the Union war effort on the home front by working as carpenters and surgeons.
During the American Civil War, the Union, also denominated the North, referred to the United States of America and particularly to the national government of President Abraham Lincoln and the 20 free states and four border and slave states that provided their support.

Answer:
Between 1200 and 1450 CE, trans-Saharan trade networks significantly supported the development of large states in West Africa. Opportunities for the taxation of trade and the control of trade goods generated wealth and resources to support the development of sophisticated government. Also, these networks encouraged the development of thriving urban centers, which increased the power and renown of states in the region.
As trans-Saharan trade developed, empires in the region repeatedly taxed and controlled trade. For example, the historical record shows that the mansas of Mali directly controlled the trade of specific goods such as metals and horses, two goods that were crucial in establishing strong military forces. Mali’s mansas also taxed the trade of key goods such as salt and copper. Similarly, other empires in the region levied heavy taxes on merchants and used the funds to support the state. The control over the trade of gold by Ghana’s rulers enabled the funds to establish and sustain a large administrative bureaucracy.
The effects of the development of trans-Saharan trade networks on West African states can be better understood by considering the earlier development of cities and states in the region. Due to the difficulty of raising livestock and growing crops in the hot Sahara, the economy of West Africa lagged behind that of North Africa until the growth of trade. Likewise, while a sophisticated civilization developed in the Niger Valley after 300 BCE, growing trade cities at the time were not joined into a larger empire. The ongoing development of trans-Saharan trade, however, provided the resources for economic and political change in the region.
