I asked for a Black Regiment that fought for the Confederacy.

Unlike the north, the South didn't segregate blacks and whites into racially divided units.

Segregation didn't exist in the South, in it's northern institutionalized version, until after Redestruction.

I am sure you are right, that the blacks lived in the big house, and the whites lived in the slave cabins often as not.

I am also sure, since race didn't matter, that blacks owned white slaved.


Right.
