Answer: they were on both
Explanation: this is because most of the Africans were Slaves and they didn’t have a choice of what they could do. So they were basically forced to fight for the side their owners were fighting for or which they were siding with. Even though the Africans may not want to fight on that side or fight at all they didn’t have a voice they had to or else they would die or their owners would hurt them basically punishing them for not doing what they are told. They were inexperienced and still fought and many of them died and some escaped.
