[Non-Sequitur]

deceiving the forum members isn't DECENT. we've talked about this & the location of the service records has been posted on another WBTS thread. you DYs just don't like the FACTS.

I memory serves I called you out on that thead too. Facts are facts, census data is available, and it all serves to show that you claims of 100,000 free blacks serving in confederate ranks to be totally bogus.

"How many Black soldiers served for the Confederacy in the War Between the States? Perhaps no one will ever know. Estimates run anywhere from 30,000 to 100,000. However, because the victors - the north - needed to give the world the impression the War was fought over slavery, a concerted scheme was put into motion to suppress the figures by destroying records, thus giving credence to heir 'the war was fought over slavery' mantra. While a large number of government records were distorted or destroyed, thousands of 'other' records in the form of letters and photos remain."

since the NUMBERS, state pension records & the AVAILABLE CSA service records agree with DR Blackerby's figure of 100,000-150,000 BLACK CSA veterans,your post is FALSE.
