Do you think heaping one lie on top of another will build a stairway to the truth? It won't. Many masters took their valets with them to the war and many blacks were hired to work for the army but there were very few who FOUGHT for the Cornfederacy. It is an complete falsehood that 100,000 free blacks or ANY blacks fought for the South. There may have been a few but about 1% of your claim.
Peasant revolt led by the aristocracy? Oh, yeah riiiight.
In every war the poor make up the majority of those fighting and dying and you think that PROVES something? All the Germans killed in WWII were not Nazis and some were even Jewish to you that proves the Jews fought for the Nazis I presume.
If your "documentation" is such as I suspect it is not worth my time to examine and PROPERLY interprete. Those trying to defend the RAT Revolt have consistently shown a inclination to ignore facts even after they have been repeatedly pointed out.
KY was the only CSA state to segregate CSA veteran's pensions by RACE (why was KY the only one? who knows?). OVER 20% of their CSA pensions for SOLDIERS,MARINES & CSN SAILORS from KY were paid out to BLACK veterans.
i strongly suspect, but CANNOT prove, that the other CSA states had about the same percentage of BLACK VETERANS. (unless you have PROOF that KY was UNIQUE, i would suggest that you accept my premise.)
Dr Blackerby says in his famous book, BLACKS IN BLUE & GRAY that between 100,000 and 150,000 blacks were armed by and served as soldiers, sailors & marines for the CSA.
as for "ignoring facts", i find that to be MOST TRUE of the hateFILLED, arrogant,self-serving,LEFTIST/SOCIALIST, self-righteous damnyankee academic/social elites.
ANYTHING, no matter how well documented(according to the damnyankees) that causes the reader to learn that the damnyankee coven of thugs surrounding "lincoln, the 1st of damnyankeeland") that shows just how IGNORANT, ARROGANT, SELFISH,DISHONORABLE, CRUEL, MURDEROUS and/or criminal, just MUST be wrong. that is called INTENTIONAL avoidance of the facts or PROPAGANDA.
