<span>In 1862, President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation opened the door for African Americans to enlist in the Union Army. Although many had wanted to join the war effort earlier, they were prohibited from enlisting by a federal law dating back to 1792. President Lincoln had also feared that if he authorized their recruitment, border states would secede from the Union. By the end of the war, approximately 180,000 African-American soldiers had joined the fight.</span>

Correct answer:  Were paid less than white soldiers.

Details:

According to a National Archives article on "Black Soldiers in the U.S. Military during the Civil War" -

  • <em>In addition to the perils of war faced by all Civil War soldiers, black soldiers faced additional problems stemming from racial prejudice. Racial discrimination was prevalent even in the North, and discriminatory practices permeated the U.S. military. Segregated units were formed with black enlisted men and typically commanded by white officers and black noncommissioned officers. ... Black soldiers were initially paid $10 per month from which $3 was automatically deducted for clothing, resulting in a net pay of $7. In contrast, white soldiers received $13 per month from which no clothing allowance was drawn.</em>

In 1864, however, the US Congress corrected the problem of unequal pay, and made the measure they passed retroactive, so that black soldiers would receive retroactive wages to compensate for that previous inequality.

Create a story where you had to take over the moon
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

oh okay???

Explanation:

if I was able to take over the moon...I would make it so humans can safely go on the moon and case the world is about to explode or a big huge asteroid hits Earth or something like that. and or I would probably do nothing with it. because to be honest I care about our world and I would do everything I can to protect it and ones outside of Earth. because space is a scary place. that can destroy Earth in a Split Second. so basically what I'm saying is if I was able to take over the moon out just protect it. :)
