So, I’ve been watching alot of atomic bomb test footage from the 1950’s. And almost every single time the background is black, Is this because the cameras are shooting on black and white film?

Yes, and because the cameras are filing through thick dark filters to be able film the test. If they were exposed to the light of the test directly the film would be totally blown out and destroyed.
To film the really intense bright light, it gets filmed through a dark filter. Like taking a picture of the sun through sunglasses.
