Explanation:

During the U.S. Civil War, African American soldiers in the Union military faced systemic discrimination. They were paid less than white soldiers initially, not returned to southern slaveholders (the Union fought against slavery), and were often assigned the most dangerous, menial tasks rather than safe positions.

Answer:

D. They were assigned the most dangerous tasks.
