If you count slaves, then yes blacks worked for the Confederacy. Of course, the Nazis used slave labor too, I would called those forced to work in labor camps Nazi soldiers. How many blacks were recognized by the Confederacy as official Confederate soldiers during the Civil War?

Actually, many of the FREE Blacks, including BLACK SLAVE-OWNERS fought, in NON-segregated units, unlike the ALL-black/white-officered Northern units.

Depends on whether you read history, or believe History.
