There were several reasons why African Americans decided to join the US military even when their conditions were so much worse than those of white Americans.

Some African Americans joined because they had no alternative back home. They were unemployed, or uneducated, and the military provided a viable option for them to achieve some progress. Others joined because, despite the injustices they would face, they wanted to serve their country. However, many also joined because they believed this would help their cause back home.

They hoped that this was going to help end segregation and bring about equal citizenship rights.
