If blacks were respected members of the rebel army then why did they, time after time, refuse to take blacks as prisoners but instead shot them when they tried to surrender?

Because free blacks and "sponsored" freedmen and slaves in Confederate ranks were not the avenging legions of Dessalines and Toussaint L'Ouverture come to America to slaughter Ol' Massa in his bed?

How about that one?

Or does your ideology exclude the possibility of subtlety in Southern political thought?

Or was it the idea of a black man tacking shots at a white man?
