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.

According to the 1860 census there were fewer than 25,000 free black males of military age in the entire south. So what happened, did each and every one enlist 4 times?

Your assertions are funny. Not ha ha funny, but fish left in the back of the pickup truck for 4 days funny.

It wasn't the central government that was hostile to the black citizen's interests, it was the Southern state government that were controlled lock stock and barrel by the slavers.

I have previously posted (though not on this thread) the names of many southern regiments that fought for the Union. Do you have reference for a black regiment that fought for the south?

Inquiring minds want to know.
