During the Civil War the digging works were carried out by:

The units of Engineers Corps of both Armies,

The slaves, employed by the Confederates to set up entrenched camps and lines,field fortifications, repair roads, bridges, railroads etc.

The escaped slaves, employed by the Federals, though not in the same number as the Confederates did with the slaves.
