The first African-American to receive a commission from West Point was Henry Ossian Flipper (March 21, 1856 - May 3, 1940) in 1877, becoming a Second Lieutenant in the 10th Calvary.
A United States military commission is awarded in the name of the President of the United States.
William T. Sherman was a West Point graduate and in charge of a military college in Baton Rouge, Louisiana at the start of the war. Confederate President Jefferson Davis offered Sherman a commission in the Southern army. Both men were West Point graduates. Also, generals from both sides had joined the opposition, so there was a precedent for this. Sherman declined the offer.
