What is the explanation to why the Confederacy did not draft slaves and free blacks into the army?
Your "facts" are in error.Between 65,000 and 100,000 blacks served in the Confederate Army. Let me restate that: as many as 100,000 blacks served in the Army of the South. These men were cooks, musicians, and soldiers.Of the 179,000 blacks who served in all aspects of the Union Army and 19,000 who served in the Navy, 40,000 died in service.Where the majority of Northern blacks volunteered, many of the Southern blacks were pressed into service, although quite a few volunteered to serve in the Confederate cause.

Where there social circumstances that facilitated blacks serving in the Union army during the Civil War?
No. The 'social circumstances' were negative. At the beginning, the troops did not want to serve alongside blacks. Later they saw how the blacks might take some of the fatigue-duties off their shoulders. Then they saw that the blacks could help to fill up the rifle-ranks, enabling whites to earn quicker promotion. By the end of the war, quite a few blacks had earned credibility as front-line soldiers, some of them with distinction.
