i have no idea, IF in fact, he did.

I provided a link earlier that gave the entire letter. Are you saying you didn't bother to read it before denying Lee said what he said?

he was NOT BLIND & could SEE for himself the MANY "freemen of colour" in the CSA ranks.

Or not.

100,00+ FREE Black men (and NOT a few Black women!) fought for dixie

Why not say 200,000? Or 300,000? Heck, why not go for half a million, any one of those figures is no more ridiculous than the other ones you bandy about. And why stop with women? Hey, why not say that black children as young as three or four hoisted muskets and went off and shot themselves a Yankee or two? If you're going to tell whoppers then make them big ones.

why do you CONTINUE to DENY the OBVIOUS TRUTH. i don't believe that spreading PROPAGANDA for the radical, northeastern elitists/REVISIONISTS does you honor. (i don't say some other figure than @100,000 for volunteer Blacks in gray, because it would be a lie. 100, 000 is DEMONSTRABLY not a lie.)

you are NOT like SOME members of the "unionist coven", either a dunce or 1/2-educated.

you KNOW better. (i guess that's what bothers me about your denials. you KNOW better.)

YES, i read the letter. what i do NOT know, without doing a lot of research, which i don't have time to do in the midst of this political campaign, is whether the purported letter was written by Lee or not. the so-called OR has numerous KNOWN errors & fictions.
