Answer: B

Explanation: The answer to this question is option B. African American soldiers were given hard menial jobs instead of seeing combat.

During the civil war, black people were racially abused and also suffered from segregation. Instead of being assigned to combat duties, they were given menial jobs such as digging of trenches.

Those blacks that fought only received inferior combat equipment. Whenever they got injured in the field, they received less medical care in their already segregated medical Centre.

Their was also wage differentials between the white soldiers and the blacks who received less pay.
