At first glance, those links give the impression that no black men fought for the Union. Then I guess it is no news that many tens of thousands of freed slaves fought for their freedom in the Union army.

I do have a problem with the concept "fighting for the South". As a southerner, I say that the people who were really fighting for the South in the Civil War was the Union army as they were fighting to free ALL southerners from the tyranny of the Confederate slaveowners.

Sorry, they were fighting to preserve the union. Not to abolish slavery.
