There were many roles that women and African Americans had in fighting in the US Civil War war. Women were nurses, and African Americans were slaves in the south. The north had some African American regiments

Some women disguised themselves as men so they could fight in the war. Others became nurses who tended to wounded soldiers. Still others worked as teachers or took over jobs that their husbands, fathers, or brothers once had.

African Americans were able to sign up to fight in the war. They played an important role at the battle at Fort Wagner, even though the Confederates won.
