i DO "have a problem" with N-S constantly claiming that there was NOT 100,ooo-150,ooo Blacks in the CSA military AND also claiming that Dr Blackerby never said that there was. (of course N-S can NEVER admit that fact because then he would be forced to admit that slavery was NOT the SOLE or even a MAJOR issue of war causation.)

stripped of "the slavery was all" (RADICAL REVISIONIST/LEFTIST) position, there is NO "grand crusade" to use as an EXCUSE for the slaughter of a MILLION Americans, except of course that "DIShonest abe" simply was not willing to let the south go free.

fwiw, unlike most here (including N-S, i suspect) i HAVE read the book & know what Dr Blackerby stated.

furthermore, either N-S lied about having read BLACKS IN BLUE AND GRAY (and therefore does NOT know what the book states) and/or he lied about what the author said.= there is NO middle ground between what Blackerby did & did NOT state concerning the number of Black CSA service members. the numbers "in question" is IN his book, for any reader to see.

further, N-S & the rest of "the DAMNyankee coven" are either too DISHONEST and/or too ignorant of the FACTS to refute anyone (NOT just me) on any subject. (Race, the FACT is that "you've thrown in with" a pack of LOSERS, bigots, nitwits & KNOWING liars, if you've taken their side. NOTE: the ones with the most disgusting/VULGAR/hate-FILLED comments toward the southerners on FR are the REAL idiots/BIGOTS.)

Where's the book you moron? So you can prove what you've been blathering about all this time.
