Then by all means post it again and really, really make me look dumb. Show us your evidence that there were enough free black males of military age to make up the 100,000 free black males in confederate ranks that you claimed. Do it now.
Professor H R Blackerby's book, BLACKS IN BLUE & GRAY, has a BIBLIOGRAPHY with a "laundry list" of his sources. (i have told you this at LEAST 2-3 times before!)
i do NOT have my own copy of the book, but it IS available from Interlibrary Loan. GO see for yourself, as i did.
Prof Blackerby states in his book (such that even the Minister of DAMNyankee Propaganda cannot misunderstand) that between 100,000 & 150,000 FREE Black men (and NOT a FEW Black women) were members of the CSA military forces.
