Many fought for the union. There were African American units. A good movie on this is GLORY. Many who weren't soldiers followed the troops and helped in the camps. When union troops came through an area they freed slaves they found on plantations. Many of those freed slaves stayed with the troops and had a nickname called " contraband ". This stems from an event when a confederate officer asked a union officer for the slaves that he had freed. In war contraband doesn't have to be returned so the union officer called the freed slaves contraband to keep from returning them. The name stuck through the war.
