Answer:

B. Both sides enlisted the help of African Americans.

Explanation:

During the Civil War, African Americans played an important role in both the Union side and the Confederacy side. Although technically, African Americans were not allowed to enlist in the army until 1862, after the passage of the Second Confiscation and Militia Act, many contributed before that. On the side of the Union, African Americans served in over 160 units and in many suppport positions. In the Confederacy, most African Americans served in labor positions, as they were still enslaved.
