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.
