Well that's somewhat of a nonsensical idea now then, isn't it?

Ah, not really. There were black conscripts in the CSA who were to be granted freedom after hostilities ended. Freeing the slaves would have added many more soldiers to the CSA. There were integrated regiments in 1865 in the CSA, although the war ended before many saw any action.

Reference Black Confederates

It's worth a look anyway.

sscchh

don’t tell them about the thousands of black men who fought about the confederacy as it goes against their narrow view of the war.

I live in St Augustine and here we have dead black soldiers graves and there is still a family who is black who honors their ancestor.

When a dumb ass liberal Yankee came down on vacation he saw a battle flag and got upset.
I turned around and pointed a few facts out to them and even though I tried and tried I just ended up directing them to the graves.

two days later I was walking my dog and saw them on st Georges street.
I went up to them and asked if they went and he reply9ed he did and that he never knew about any of this and for the last two days had picked up some book and talked to a couple of locals.

thankfully that liberal Yankee has now a better idea about the war and I just hope all of the other idiots like them wake up and look at the real history
