Yes, actually, many African-Americans worked for the Confederate Army during the Civil War, as the army officials most likely promised them freedom, food, and good shelter for as long as they won they war. Of course, the Confederate Army did not win the war, and were freed anyway. This would exclude Texas, whose slaves did not know they were free until June 19th of the next year, which is now the National Holiday "Juneteenth."
