How did African Americans on south plantations help the union cause?
As soon as Union troops entered an area the slaves would runaway behind union lines. It was the policy of the army not to turn slaves over to their owners. They were referred as "contraband " because contraband doesn't have to be returned. Nearly 180,000 free black men and escaped slaves served in the union army.
