At least one Black Confederate was a non-commissioned officer. James Washington, Co. D 35th Texas Cavalry, Confederate States Army, became it’s 3rd Sergeant.
Oh be still my racing heart!!!! One black rebel NCO? So which 35th Texas Cavalry did he serve in? There is no mention in the OR of any 35th Texas Cavalry before December 1863 and after January 1864 so were they kind of home-defense units? Texas Rangers called up? Something like that?
Okay, so the score is: United States: 100 black commissioned officers. Rebels: 1 black non-commissioned officer.
