Confederate Ambulance service was basically an all black service.

I've never seen any documentation about them. But as has been pointed out before, the Confederate army used slaves as teamsters throughout much of the war and they could well have driven some of the ambulances too.

Just about anything blacks did in the South at that time was considered a ‘’service’’ by most. Most others north of the Mason-Dixon Line called it slavery.
