he Second Confiscation and Militia Act (1862) and the Emancipation Proclamation) both led to increased numbers of African American soldiers serving the Union Army. What caused the United States Government to enact policies to allow African Americans to serve in the Civil War?

The large number of deaths in the Union's army was the main reason for the government to allow the enlistment of African-American citizens.

Explanation:

Lincoln did not approve of the idea of allowing African Americans to be enlisted in the army because he feared that this would infuriate southern states and worsen the polarization that the country faced on their behalf. However, once the civil war started, both armies suffered many deaths, drastically decreasing the number of viable soles for the battle, thereby allowing African Americans to enlist so that the armies had a sufficient number of soldiers.

where is thing if you show me on the map or have a map i can answer your question

the iconic cartoon that you are talking about is probably a man standing on top of a country with his legs spread wide. 

this cartoon suggests that europeans are powerful enough to subdue an entire continent. this was a satirical image that was drawn during the time of the colonization of the british empire in africa.

this image was inspired by the plans of the british empire to create telegraph lines all over africa promoting the further spread of its colonies through faster communication. the picture depicts the colonial mentality of the british empire in general as well as the struggle of africans to claim their own land. hope this !
