The black soldiers of the Louisiana Native Guards were never accepted into the rebel military, and as a unit they deserted to the U.S. Army as soon as possible.

But aren't they part of the 100,000 slaves who cheerfully fought for the South?

(Where's the dang sarcasm tag?)

Not true. As I have previously documented for you, the Native Guard divisions recieved official military orders from the provost general's office in Louisiana over the course of several months before the fall of New Orleans. They actively participated in military preparations for the city upon reciept of those orders.
