Never. It would have made the Confederate Army stronger if they had, but racist attitudes in the Confederacy did not allow their enlistment. There were regiments of free black soldiers who wore gray uniforms and fought for the South, but they were militia units and not officially a part of the Confederate Army.

The Southern army was not as organized as the North. The North had special stations where people could enlist. They also had a set age that you had to be to enlist in the army (without much effect). The South was much less organized. In the South as long as you could hold a rifle you could join the army. There were no booths where you could enlist. To enlist all you had to do is go to a military camp or base of operations and tell them you wanted to fight. Then they would hand you a rifle and some gear and you were off to battle.
