Black in the Confederate Army serving as soldiers was a fact of history that I never knew was in dispute or even controversial until I started visiting Free Republic. There are some real revisionist liberals on this site.

It’s a fact which the left and blacks ignore as it does not fit their narrative of the south.
Course they ignore the racism in Boston , NY City Detroit during then and recently.

I’m sure someone , usual suspects will be on to denounce this .

My Father in Law was a long time member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the chapter in Florida and later the one in North Carolina include Negro members. As with the DAR, to be a member you have to prove a direct ancestor served to be a member.

I had family on both sides of the campaign at Vicksburg.

They're just a part of the progressive's movement of infiltration, subversion and destruction of America's culture and society.

The truth of the matter is that Jeff Davis was utterly opposed to usage of blacks in any military capacity...one of many unfortunate notions that contributed to the Confederacy missing out on opportunities to field stronger armies...

Hey General, you’re arguing a non-sequitur here. No one disputes this. If it’s possible to any dumber you’ve just done it.
