All men were 'fallen'(being against Eru's original plan for them) and they were also born in M-E, which was tarnished by Morgoth, who had spread his power and defiled the earth. Men had free will,but they were also the most corrupted of all races, as a result, and Tolkien notes htat men needed Sauron and Morogth as it joined them togtether in a fight against a single incarnate form of evil.As Tolkien shows in 'A new shadow' men can easily be swayed and bored.
