Well...instead of reverting to your Pee Wee Herman “I know you are, but what am I?” techniques, you might actually address my point. In other words, do what you wanted me to do...address the points on the web site I provided that I will not vouch for. Until you do what you ask others to do...consider your ass kicked....as usual.

Until then..buh bye pissant.

Actually I did look at the website and it's full of the usual stuff. It's been posted or linked to time and again by lost cause adherents; surely you don't think you stumbled on some treasure trove of new material? Or did you even read it?

As for addressing the point's, let's take the first one of the noted examples: "The "Richmond Howitzers" were partially manned by black militiamen. They saw action at 1st Manassas (or 1st Battle of Bull Run) where they operated battery no. 2. In addition two black “regiments”, one free and one slave, participated in the battle on behalf of the South." Here's a Link to a site with the history of the Richmond Howitzers. According to your website, the 2nd battery was partly manned by black militia and served at First Bull Run. According to the history of the unit, only the first battery was present at Bull Run. The second and third batteries were not. Next, there's the claim that there were two black regiments at Bull Runs, one free and one slave. Here's a Link to the confederate order of battle for Bull Run. Can you identify which were the black regiments please?

Or I guess you won't be answering those, will you? You've already declared victory and gone off somewhere. Well buh bye back atcha.
