Question

When did the Union begin recruiting African American soldiers for formal army units in the Civil War?

Answer 1

African American soldiers in Civil War.

Step-by-step explanation:

Many of the plantation's slaves during the Civil War, ran away and some joined the Union army. President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation allowed African Americans to serve in the Union Army. From 1862 African Americans began to join the Union to fight against the Confederate. They first hired during the American Civil War, and by the end of the war in 1865, regiments constituted for them in the Union Army.
