According to this site, there were African Americans already fighting the Native Americans in the west when the civil war broke out.

The Native people called them "Buffalo Soldiers' because their dark faces reminded them of the dark faces of buffalo.

The Buffalo soldiers were formed in 1866 by an act of Congress. There is a really, really good movie about these brave men...it is called "Glory". You might want to rent it if you are curious.
