Answer:

n 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.

artcher [175]
There are alot of factors that make it hard for archeologist and historians to search about the indus valley.the most highlighted factors are the enigmatic nature of Indus valley civilization means there is no clear connection to any continuous literary traditions.they have a much harder time imagining the life of Mohenjo-Daro because there isn't any reliable information about the culture of it. the fact that they cannot read the language(s) of the Indus valley means a lot!
