African Americans started to be referred to as "colored" people around the time of the Emancipation Proclamation. The term was considered less offensive then the term "negro" or others that were used in the day. Colored is no longer a term used.

Were African-Americans and Native Americans enemies or friends?
From my Native American and African American background, I can tell you that my relative native american and african american families worked along side each other on the plantation. No, they probably didn't enjoy being slaves on a plantation, but it is evidence given from my 100 year old grandmother. She made a book about our family history I never forgot and the native american/ african american mixing was the most recent (meaning 1800's) further mixing of my already west indian family line. So, they were friends and a little more.
