Black Confederate Soldier

If that black Confederate soldier had been a slave and had the South won the rebellion then he would have been returned to slavery. Kind of hard to work that fact into a recruiting pitch, isn't it?

actually, you KNOW better. the CSA's 100,000+ black troops were FREE men, fighting for FREEDOM from a faraway central government that they believed was hostile to their interests.

PITY, that you don't admit, what you KNOW to be true.
