About 2 million were in the south. Which was 20% of the whole population.
Many blacks did fight in the south but not as much as blacks in the north. Blacks in the south that fought were either free land owners and were fighting to keep their land, or they were slaves of owners who were drafted in the war and they fought alongside their owners.
There was a lot of segregation in the South and many blacks were treated unfairly.
