Yes, the South did have African American soldiers during the Civil War, although their numbers were significantly lower than in the Union. Initially, the Confederacy did not enlist Black soldiers, but as the war progressed and manpower shortages became critical, some southern states began to accept African Americans into their ranks, particularly toward the war's end. These soldiers often faced harsh conditions and discrimination, and many served in non-combat roles. Overall, their participation was not as widespread or formally recognized as in the Union Army.
