What role did they blacks play in the military during the civil war?
Regiments of black soldiers were formed in the Union army, led by white officers and black non-commissioned officers.While Lincoln had originally objected to forming black regiments in 1862, the need for soldiers pushed Union governors and general to enlist black soldiers. In all, six regiments of Colored Cavalry, eleven regiments and four companies of Colored Heavy Artillery, ten batteries of the Colored Light Artillery, and 100 regiments and sixteen companies of Colored Infantry were raised during the war. By the end of the Civil War, 190,000 blacks had served in the Union armed forces.
Why were African Americans turned away from the patriot army in 1775?
Some blacks were refused the chance to serve because southern officers refused to have them in their regiments. Many of the southern officers were slaveholders and believed either (a) that blacks were inferior and could not fight, or (b) that teaching blacks to use guns and swords would only encourage the slaves to revolt. The British Army began accepting free blacks and escaped slaves with various promises of rewards including emancipation, land, etc. Some American regiments began admitting blacks, mainly after 1776. About two-thirds of the black soldiers in the Revolutionary War served for the British and one-third for the Americans.

Were there black soldiers in the civil war?
Thousands of Blacks served the Confederate forces as teamsters, cooks, servants and laborers. Some no doubt "saw the elephant." That number, however, is much disputed. Although some Black Confederate regiments were organized in early 1865, they never saw action. Some websites, however, assert that thousands fought for the South. "There were many Black regiments," they say. The problem with that argument, quite simply, is that there is no proof --- no Confederate records, nothing in the "Southern Historical Society Papers," nothing in the "Official Records," nothing in diaries. If thousands had fought, if there had been Black regiments, somebody somewhere would have made a note of it. Figures for the North are much better documented. According to Boatner, about 300,000 served in some 166 Union regiments. Of these, about 175,000 saw combat.
