at the BEGINNING of the WBTS, there were THREE "all black" CSA units (these were STATE MILITIA UNITS. two of the units had GRANDSONS of men, who fought in the War of 1812 with Andrew Jackson.), with BLACK, elected, officers. (at least five sets of OFFICER's SERVICE RECORDS still exist. the others have "conveniently disappeared" from the Archives.
by 1862, MOST large CSA units were DESEGREGATED in the CSA forces, with essentially EVERY job open to ALL, regardless of skin color.
otoh, in the union military, Blacks served in MOSTLY "unskilled labor" jobs ( the BRAVE 54th MASS IN BDE being the ONLY exception i can think of, offhand.), FAR from direct combat, under white officers & at HALF pay, because the union high command DEVALUED their service and did NOT trust the Black soldiers to "stand & fight".

Black soldiers fought in the battle of the crater, In Kansas, and in several important fights in South Carolina.
Rather a lot for one brigade. Boy, those guys must have been all over the map.
Your comments are so far off, they are ridiculous. By the end of the war 1/3rd of the Union army was black units. Or if you prefer, by the end of the war, the Union black units outnumbered the entire so called "Confederate Army".
Fought better, too!
