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.

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?
