  8. Input • African Americans Help the Union • African Americans fought for the Union and made other contributions to the war effort. • African American soldiers were not permitted to join the Union army until after the Emancipation Proclamation. • Ultimately, 189,000 African Americans served in the Union army or navy. • Thousands supported the Union in noncombat roles. • They often worked for Union armies as cooks, wagon drivers, and hospital aides.

Later changed to 17 and 50. • In the South, a man who held at least 20 enslaved people did not have to serve. • Both sides allowed draftees to hire substitutes. • Northerners could avoid the draft by paying the government $300.
