    d. Experienced a higher mortality rate than white soldiers.

    Explanation:

    Around 40,000, out of 179,000, African American soldiers died in the civil war. The majority of them (30,000) of infectious disease, not in combat. This was mostly because they were given lower quality equipment, were kept in hazardous conditions, or were given the most dangerous tasks for infection.
