Similar to the Darlington statue, the Confederate Soldier's Memorial at Arlington includes a black soldier.

The Jewish sculptur Moses Jacob Ezekiel wanted to show the true composition of the southern army: It depicts an armed, uniformed black Confederate soldier marching in step with his white comrades and a white Confederate soldier handing his small child to a black woman for safe keeping as he goes off to war.

I believe you can see the scene on the right on this picture

Kudos to Moses Jacob Ezekiel.

Therre's no credible evidence that even a handful of blacks fought for the rebellion.
