Most black people in the South were still slaves, until the Emancipation Proclamation led to their freedom. A few mixed-race black people lived in New Orleans as free men and women, but they were in the vast minority in the South, where life for black people was often difficult.
African Americans during the Civil War joined the Northern forces in great numbers. Some northern blacks decided to fight for the Union, and the movie "Glory" is about a regiment of black soldiers, led by their white Colonel Robert Gould Shaw. Northern black people also joined the abolitionist cause to fight for an end to slavery. Northern blacks, while still unable to vote and denied entrance into many occupations, still had a better situation than those who lived in the South. Some northern blacks were educated: they became teachers, craftspeople, and small businessmen (and a few women).It should also be noted that the South had several regiments of black soldiers fighting for them, too.
