Black soldiers, in fact, had a difficult time enlisting in the Northern army, which at first did not welcome them; when the Unionists finally changed their mind, African Americans often responded to the earlier slight by refusing to join. Of the 186,107 black soldiers in the Union army, 37,300 died; many of them were front-line men in the most dangerous positions. Seventy-five years after the Civil War, during World War II, many blacks still fought in segregated regiments.
