Slaves fought for both sides, if they were free they would fight for the North to help free others. If they were slaves they would be forced to go to help the South win. The implementation of having slaves in the South become Confederate soldiers came very late in the war. It did not effect the outcome of the war at all.

It wasn't that slaves were killed during the war, but some were forced to fight during the war.
actually, the lives of slaves became more difficult after civil war. mostly all slaves were in southern side. slave-owners didnt educate them or slaves didnt know how to handle bussines....this made there life difficult

The former slaves should be on the South's side to fight in the Civil War.
Slaves fought on both the north and the south side
Yes, there were units of African Americans that fought on the side of the Union.
No one made slaves go in to war. Slaves chose whether to go in war or not.
Technically slaves could not fight in the war unless they had permission from the owners or there owners had made them fight. But at the end of the Civil War all the slaves were set free this is what the civil war was about the North wanted the slaves to be set free but the south wanted slaves as they relied on them for there economy. this was the Cotton indusrty mainly when the North won the war they decleared all slaves free.

Henry Ravenal did believe that African-Americans would take the side of the North in the Civil War. He believed that slaves would turn on their owners and fight for freedom.

Slaves naturally wanted to fight against the people who had enslaved them, in order to free themselves and to bring an end to slavery.
