You would be surprised at the number of body servants who actually grabbed guns and joined the fight once the battle began. There are many historical accounts of this.

And historical fact that legally there were no Black Confederate combat soldiers until March 1865.

Well pretty much, because most of them were not listed on the official rosters, as it was against regulation. Didn’t keep them from serving though.
