there is no record of any dead black rebel soldier or black POW or pensioner or any black regiment

Wrong.

Sons Dalton and Lee received Henderson's first and last Tennessee Colored Confederate pension check upon their father's death in September 1926.

the KY CSA Pension Records disclose that about 20% of all Confederate Veterans Pensions were paid to Black CSA veterans.

you may NOT like that INFORMATION,"1854' but it is DOCUMENTED FACT! (i would suggest to you that ALL the other state's CSA Pension Records would reveal the same thing had the states listed RACE as one of their "pieces of identification". ONLY Kentucky used "RACE or COLOUR".)

also there are MANY Black CSA veterans who "fell in the defense of Atlanta", who are buried UNDER Graves Hall at Morehouse College. the SCV is planning a JOINT memorial with the college administration, to those HONORABLE Soldiers, who fell, BRAVELY in battle, for LIBERTY & defense of their home & state.
