It has been estimated that over 65,000 free blacks where in the Confederate Ranks.

So now we're down to 65,000? Regardless, if you look at the 1860 census data, available Here, you will see that there were at best fewer than 23,000 free black males of military age in the entire south. So I'll ask you, did each of them enlist twice?

actually, the DOCUMENTED number of FREE Blacks in CSA uniforms was about 100,000, as you KNOW. (UNLIKE the rest of your team, you are neither ignorant or a FOOL.)

we all know your JOB is spewing out DAMNyankee PROPAGANDA, to cover-up the TENS of THOUSANDS of yankee atrocities, but you KNOW the TRUTH.
