If you are asking about the war for American independance from England, African Americans did fight in the war for independence. I'd recommend reading a little black history starting at wallbuilders.com for more information and links to books on the subject.
During the American Civil War, Union forces offered African Americans the opportunity to enlist in the Union Army and fight for their freedom. The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln, declared that all slaves in Confederate territory were to be set free, further incentivizing African Americans to join the Union cause. On the other hand, the Confederacy did not recruit African Americans initially, but later in the war, they offered freedom to enslaved individuals who were willing to fight for the Confederacy. However, this promise was not widely fulfilled and had little impact on the outcome of the war.
Yes. Black Americans have served in the US Armed Forces well before the 1920s, although, at that time, the military was still segregated.
