In serving in the military, what other contributions did African Americans make to the Union war effort?
Please provide the best answer for the statement.
The ideal answer should:
1. Define noncombat roles—liberators, spies, and guides—and note that many black women combined all three roles.
2. Define slave vs. free contributions: free black women were often nurses; enslaved black women were more often the spies and the guides for the Union.
3. Outline liberators, such as black women like Harriet Tubman, and list the details of her role as liberator, spy, and guide.
4. Conclude that African Americans, both free and enslaved, did what they could to advance the Union cause and move closer to the abolition of slavery.
