African American were not allowed to enlist in the Union army until after 1862. There were even African Americans that fought on the side of the confederacy most were part of a slave labor force.

In 1862, Congress passed a law to allow African Americans to join the Union Army.
White Southerners were delighted - it meant that slavery was legal in every state of the Union. Those white Northerners who were Abolitionists were horrified, on account of the same verdict. Other white Northerners were simply alarmed that it was driving the two sides further apart, and bringing war closer. African-Americans were, of course, not being consulted much. Some of them may have wondered why Scott did not claim his freedom earlier, when it would have been granted automatically.
During the American Civil War, Union forces offered African Americans the opportunity to enlist in the Union Army and fight for their freedom. The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln, declared that all slaves in Confederate territory were to be set free, further incentivizing African Americans to join the Union cause. On the other hand, the Confederacy did not recruit African Americans initially, but later in the war, they offered freedom to enslaved individuals who were willing to fight for the Confederacy. However, this promise was not widely fulfilled and had little impact on the outcome of the war.
