This was only allowed to happen right at the end, too late to make any impact.
The Confederate mindset had been strongly against the whole principle, and when one General (Cleburne) suggested putting slaves into uniform, the remark was officially scratched from the minutes of the meeting.
No. But there were some free blacks in the southern states.
The slaves went to the Union because they wanted to fight for their freedom, and the blacks that fought for the Confederacy were mostly forced to.
There were many ways in which Africans were used during the confederacy. These individuals were used as forms of workers.
Allowing free blacks to fight in the Civil War significantly bolstered the Union's manpower, providing much-needed soldiers to combat the Confederacy. Their participation not only increased troop numbers but also served as a powerful symbol of the fight for freedom and equality, helping to galvanize support for the Union cause. Additionally, it undermined the Confederacy's social structure by challenging the institution of slavery and demonstrating the capabilities and commitment of African Americans to the fight for their own liberation. Overall, their involvement contributed to the Union's strategic advantage and moral standing in the war.
Because it was already bad enough what blacks had to go through at that time!

The Confederacy
