Question 2 options:

They were the first all-African American Civil War regiment


it was the last regiment of men to enlist in the Civil War


it was the group of soldiers that defeated the south at Gettysburg

Answer 1

Question 1 - about half of what the white soldiers earned
Question 2 - They were the first all-African American civil war regiment

Answer 2

Question 1: African American soldiers were payed 10$ with the deduction of 3$ for clothing therefore, it's definitely not A or D and they were African American so, they weren't treated fair so it's not B and since we know Blacks and Whites were not equal we can infer that they most likely got half of what the whites earned 'aka' C.
Question 2: The 54th Volunteer Infantry was the first all- African American regiment and was led by Robert Gould Shaw.
"Massachusetts Governor John A. Andrew, a strong abolitionist, recruited Shaw in March of 1863 to raise and command one of the first regiments of African American troops in the Union army, the 54th Massachusetts Infantry."
