ROTFLMAO!!!!! You all were so 'grateful' to those stalwart sable souls who fought and died for your noble cause that how did you repay them? By enacting black codes in every single rebellious state that attempted to return all blacks, even those who had been free for decades or those who served the confederate army, to a condition as closely approximating slavery as you could possibly get. By denying them the right to vote. By denying them access to schools or decent housing. By sending the Klan after them and lynching them. Oh yeah, you all were soooooo appreciative of their service.

Typical yankee

Would this be one of those Southern areas of hatred?

I'm going to play lentulusgracchus here and call misdirection on your sorry ass. The subject is black confederates and how grateful the South allegedly is for their faithful service. So if you were so grateful and if you valued their service, and if there were all that many black confederates to begin with, then why did the South treat them so abysmally after the rebellion ended? Surely someone as well-versed in confederate lore as you are can answer that?
