as i said before, the letter is a (AT BEST!) partial answer (typical of your posts, it is a case of HALF-truths TRYING desperately to make us all believe your DY PROPAGANDA.). REL was NOT a 21st century man, any more than anyone else was. otoh, he was WELL aware of the BRAVE/HONORABLE service of the MANY Black CSA volunteers.

otoh, he was NOT a RACIST as "us grant", "lincoln", "butler" & so MANY others of the "oh, so wunnerful,wunnerful DY elites" WERE!

REL was NOT a 21st century man, any more than anyone else was. otoh, he was WELL aware of the BRAVE/HONORABLE service of the MANY Black CSA volunteers.

The why did he state his preference that the south rely on the white population to staff the army, expressing his opinion that it was dangerous to do otherwise?
