dc.description.abstractAlhtough African Americans were determined to fight for the preservation of the Union, at first their participation in the war as soldiers was not allowed. A number of acts were passed during the Civil War which constantly influenced the role of African Americans. When finally the enrollment of colored people was admitted, thousands of African Americans joined the Union Army. During their military life they had to cope with racism, maltreatment, discrimination, disdain, hardship and injustice. The colored soldiers fought in many battles during the war and greatly contributed to the victory of the Union Army. One of the most famous colored regiments was the 54th Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, which demonstrated that African Americans were able to fight well and became an example for the other colored combatants. The heroism of the colored soldiers is still kept alive in public memory; there are many memorials which serve to commemorate the bravery that they showed during the Civil War.hu_HU
