The War was becoming very unpopular because of the loss of life. The Army saw that blacks could be used to fill the ranks and keep the war going. The Blacks needed work and money which attracted them to the army. They also wanted to be free and go with the US Army. Some followed the army so they would be protected and eventually joined it. However there was a high desertion rate among blacks probably because they could not adjust to the discipline of the Army and they were mistreated.
