Free African Americans in the North were treated as inferior even after slavery. They had few rights and considered 3/5 human.
they fought for both sides
Some African-Americans were offered freedom by either the colonists or the British. Volunteers to the Continental Army hoped that a free United States would mean new freedoms for all races. The British offered African-Americans freedom if they fought for them, but slaves risked the chance of being punished if caught running away from their masters.
In many cases, free African Americans were not wholly free. At some points prior to the Civil War, former slaves that had escaped could be recaptured, and after the Civil War, free slaves were limited in their career options, the locations of their homes, and even in where they could shop.
Some Northerners opposed allowing African Americans to fight as soldiers due to prevailing racial prejudices and the belief that they lacked the capability or bravery to serve effectively in combat. Additionally, there were fears that their enlistment would lead to social upheaval or competition for jobs in a post-war society. Furthermore, some Northerners believed that the fight for the Union should primarily involve white soldiers, reflecting a broader reluctance to fully embrace African Americans as equals in society.
It is possible some African Americans were Nazis, just as it is possible some caucasian Americans were Nazis, but in general, African Americans were loyal Americans.
