That is much debated topic. There are several websites that seem addresses this. There seems to be many individual cases where one black person did go with his master but he was mainly a servant. There are several documented cases where a Black man applied for benefits after the war but the local State would not recognize that he actually was in the service of the military. However there are several documented cases of blacks serving with Gen Nathan B. Forrest. This seems ironic in that many say Forrest founded the KKK after the war. Officially, the Confederate government decided in March 1865 to allow Blacks to serve. It is said that a regiment(or company) marched through Richmond to go to war before the city fell.

Yes, there were some. The orignal issue was more of the rights of each state over the rule of their territory. Slavery was certainly central to that issue in the south, but the basic belief in the south was that states rights were primary over federal rights. The north believed that all good things came from the federal government.

Both sides had troops that were black. A tour of the southern White House in Richmond is something everyone should do once.... Once is enough, but it is very enlightening.

Who did the black troops of the civil war fight for?

Nearly all of the Black troops in the Civil War fought for the Union. Most were in Black regiments (often with all white officers) but some regiments had Black soldiers mixed in with whites. In the last few months of the war, militias around Richmond and Charleston forced Blacks to fight for the South but this was not a very smart or effective thing to do for pretty obvious reasons.
