How many Blacks were there in the Union Army?

180000

It is widely known the fact that the Union Army was the land force that fought for the Union during the American Civil War.  It is interesting to know the fact that nearly 180,000 free black men and escaped slaves served in the Union Army during the Civil War.  The main idea is that at first they were denied the right to fight by a prejudiced public and a reluctant government.  Unfortunately, even after they entered the Union Army, black soldiers continued to struggle for equal treatment.
