1. First, note that during the Civil War, African-American soldiers were integral to the Union Army, but they faced several discriminatory practices.

2. One major issue was that, although they risked their lives in service of the Union, they were compensated at a lower rate compared to their white fellow soldiers. This wage disparity led to significant discontent and protests among African-American troops.

3. While other issues, such as not being allowed to serve as officers or being assigned to segregated units, affected them, the primary catalyst for widespread protest was the fact that they were paid less than their white counterparts.

4. Hence, the correct answer is:  
   $$ 	ext{the fact that they were paid less than their white counterparts} $$
The main issue leading to protests was that African-American soldiers were paid less than white soldiers.
