Why were African Americans serving the union army during the civil war?

They were ex-slaves, liberated by the Union armies during their Southern campaigns.
They had nowhere to go, so they hung around the army camps, doing the heavy labour. Then some lower-ranked white troops saw the point of bringing them into the ranks, to allow the whites to move up.
