In the fwiw department, Black slaves fought for the CSA (about 60 thousand). They were offered their freedom if they survived their enlistment.

Do know the number who survived.

5.56mm

Interesting, since it was against Confederate law to enlist blacks into the Confederate Army.
Would like to know the source that cites 60,000 slaves fought for the Confederacy.
