The bravery of African American troops on the frontlines directly impacted the lives of the newly freed enslaved people. Using documents, including letters from African American troops and an excerpt of the Emancipation Proclamation, class members consider the fight for freedom by African Americans during the Civil War. Other items in the assessment include a bank of 25 multiple-choice questions.
