The Civil War was the bloodiest war in American history that involved people of one nation fighting each other. It was a desperate struggle to preserve the Union. The war also gave social groups such as blacks and women, deprived in American history since the founding of the country, a chance to participate in the government.

Your task is to examine the role of women and blacks in the Civil War. Be certain to include their prior status before the war and how they participated in the war efforts. Make inferences from the Movie Glory and information from lectures to support your ideas.
