The fact that the confederate army depended heavily on black labor as cooks, servants, teamsters, laborers, and the like is unquestionable. The suggestion that tens of thousands of blacks fought in confederate ranks as infantry or cavalry or artllerymen, shoulder to shoulder whith their white bretheren is nonsense. Confederate legislation did not allow blacks to be enlisted in supporting roles until early 1864, and did not authorize the enlistment of blacks into the combat arms until March 1865.
