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"!

I don't doubt that 50,000 to 65,000 blacks served the Confederate army. I also suggest that most of them were the mixed race children of raped slave women. Often those were the only children that many (younger) slave owners had.

I asked for a Black Regiment that fought for the Confederacy. I got no answer from you on that. I don't think there is one, but not being an expert on the subject, would love to be shown to be wrong.
