True False
After emancipation, blacks joined the Confederate Army in droves.
I guess this would be true but, much more African Americans joined the Union Army.
Do you know what "in droves" means?

False.
After emancipation, African-Americans did not join the Confederate Army in droves. It is important to note that the Confederacy was fighting to preserve slavery, so there was little incentive for African-Americans to support their cause. In fact, the Confederacy initially resisted enlisting African-Americans, as they feared it would undermine the institution of slavery. It wasn't until the later stages of the Civil War that some Confederate states reluctantly began considering the recruitment of African-American soldiers, but it was a limited and largely ineffective effort.
On the other hand, many African-Americans did indeed join the Union Army in significant numbers. The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, freed slaves in Confederate-held territories, and it laid the groundwork for African-Americans to enlist in the Union Army. Around 180,000 African-Americans served in the Union Army and Navy during the Civil War. These soldiers played a crucial role in the Union's victory and the eventual abolition of slavery.
