Answer:

Not being allowed to serve

Step-by-step explanation:

During the first half of the war African Americans were not allowed to serve, as the war wasn't about freeing the slaves, it was about preservation of the Union. It wasn't about slaves until Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation.
