Slavery that led to the Civil War, or The War of the Brothers,
The European and Asian immigrant experiences were much different during the early 20th century. One of the most significant examples were the procedures they had to go through in order to gain access to America.
For example, many Europeans came through Ellis Island (located in NY). This resulted in rounds of questioning, a six second medical exam, a citizenship like test, and mental evaluations. For Asian immigrants, they came through Ellis Island (located in San Francisco). These immigrants were subject to humiliating physical exams, that sometimes took several hours and forced them to be without clothes in front of other individuals.
European immigrants, for the most part, had a much easier time entering the US. Asian immigrants were limited based on the Chinese Exclusion Act, which suspended the immigration of Chinese immigrants into America for roughly a decade.

Explanation:
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.
In addition to the problems of war faced by all soldiers, African-American soldiers faced additional difficulties created by racial prejudice. Although many served in the infantry and artillery, discriminatory practices resulted in large numbers of African-American soldiers being assigned to perform non-combat, support duties as cooks, laborers, and teamsters. African-American soldiers were paid $10 per month, from which $3 was deducted for clothing. White soldiers were paid $13 per month, from which no clothing allowance was deducted. If captured by the Confederate Army, African-American soldiers confronted a much greater threat than did their white counterparts.
In spite of their many hardships, African-American soldiers served the Union Army well and distinguished themselves in many battles. Of their service to the nation Frederick Douglass said, "Once let the black man get upon his person the brass letters U.S., let him get an eagle on his button, and a musket on his shoulder and bullets in his pockets, and there is no power on earth which can deny that he has earned the right of citizenship in the United States." African-American soldiers comprised about 10 percent of the Union Army. It is estimated that one-third of all African Americans who enlisted lost their lives.
