False.
While some enslaved men accompanied their masters as servants, teamsters, or laborers and occasionally were forced or used in combat in emergencies, the Confederacy did not officially enlist or arm large numbers of enslaved people. Only in March 1865 did the Confederate Congress authorize limited enlistment of Black soldiers, and very few served as formal Confederate troops.
