Even assuming that what you say is true, a big, big assumption I might add, how can you even suggest that those camps were segregated when all along you claim that the confederate army was integrated to a standard that the south would not see again for over 100 years?

by 1862 virtually ALL the CS military (less the previously mentioned "mostly coloured regiments" from AL,LA & MS) was DESEGREGATED, at least down to "regimental level".

the US forces partially desegregated during the waning days of WW2.

the CSMC was completely desegregated by Jan 1862 to separate detachment/company level. the USMC finally accepted the first Black marines in 1944 & finally desegregated AFTER WW2!

SORRY that you don't like the TRUTH, but the TRUTH is the TRUTH!
