There is no official documentation that African-Americans fought for the South. Researching this topic on the web, I've seen numbers as great as 300,000 of them fighting for the Confederacy. What is known, is that the thousands of slaves were serving in the Confederacy, but not as soldiers. They were in non-combat roles as servants, laborers, teamster, musician, cooks, etc. The conclusion, however, there may have been several hundred African-Americans armed, and not the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands claimed. I am providing you with two sites with opposing point of views and you can decide.
