There were approximately 500,000 slaves at the end of the colonial period. The American Revolutionary War found slaves fighting on both sides of the conflict.

Slaves fought on both the north and the south side
Yes. The liberated slaves hung around the Union camps performing fatigues, until the white rank-and-file realized they could speed their own promotion by filling the junior ranks with blacks.

both sides (apex)
Slaves fought for both sides, if they were free they would fight for the North to help free others. If they were slaves they would be forced to go to help the South win. The implementation of having slaves in the South become Confederate soldiers came very late in the war. It did not effect the outcome of the war at all.
