When war broke out in 1861, African Americans were ready. Free African Americans flocked to join the Union army, but were rejected at first for fear of alienating pro-slavery sympathizers in the North and the Border States. With time, though, this position weakened, and African Americans, both free Northerners and escaped Southerners, were allowed to enlist. By the end of the war four years later, more than 186,000 African American soldiers had served, including several officers, making up 10 percent of the Union army. More than 38,000 lost their lives, and 21 were awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, including Sergeant Major Christian Fleetwood. Years later, Fleetwood would write:
<span>Colored pickets on duty,
ca.1861-ca.1865</span> <span> After each war, of 1776, of 1812, and of 1861, history repeats itself in the absolute effacement of remembrance of the gallant deeds done for the country by its brave black defenders and in their relegation to outer darkness. History further repeats itself in the fact that in every war so far known to this country, the first blood, and, in some cases, the last also, has been shed by the faithful Negro, and this in spite of all the years of bondage and oppression, and of wrongs unspeakable. </span>

The Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 marked the official beginning of freedom for enslaved African Americans in the Confederacy, although many did not hear of it for several months. However, much of the slave population of the South had been finding its way to freedom for some time, as African Americans walked off their plantations and farms in vast numbers, many making their way to the Union lines for food and clothing. This slow-spreading freedom eventually brought the Confederate economy to a near-standstill and helped guarantee its defeat at the hands of the Union.

"identify one cause and one effect of spanish settlement in north america"
geniusboy [140]

The main cause of the Spanish settlement in North America was that Christopher Columbus, an Italian who discovered America, was financed and controlled by Spain who wanted to build a colonial empire. The effect was the beginning of many wars, first against the Indians living on the spot, and then against other Europeans, especially English and French, who were also seeking to colonize these far lands.

<h3>Further information</h3>

The Spaniards were the first Europeans to colonize the American continent. They settled mainly in the south of the United States, on the lands of Texas, Florida or South Carolina. The other major European countries were mainly present in the North. The main reason for the settlement of the Spanish in this territory was the appetite for the immense wealth, such as for textile, spices or precious stones. It was for this purpose that Queen Isabella financed Christopher Columbus's trip, gave him only one-tenth of all he could discover, all the rest should have been the property of the Kingdom of Spain.

This settlement in North America was unfortunately made in violence and war. In Florida, the French and the English did not accept that this territory returns to the Spaniards and did not stop attacking them during the 18th century. The Indians also took part in these wars because they were the first inhabitants, so they fought to defend against the invasion and because the English concluded alliances and pushed them to attack their Spanish enemies.
