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.

as i've said art least TWICE on these threads, the PROOF of the 100,000+ volunteer Black CSA veterans is in several places, which cannot be LEGITIMATELY denied:

1. the US Archives,

2. the pension records of the 13 CSA states,

3. the rolls of the UCV &

4. Dr. Blackerby's book, BLACKS IN BLUE & GRASY.

SORRY, but once more, your "drawers are seen to be at 1/2 mast"!
