My purpose was not to provide "a ringing endorsement." It was to disprove mac_truck's statement that "they were NOT soldiers anymore than they were free."

Lol! Well I sure hope you can do better than an unsourced wikipedia entry to support your claim partner. The Louisiana Native Guard issue has become a textbook example of how confederate revisionists "manufacture" evidence to support their claims. They even sell a t-shirt with a doctored photograph on it.

How embarrassing is that?

Forget the photos and revisionism. I am not familiar with the photos, and I do not support revisionism. My purpose was to inject historical accuracy into the debate where I found it lacking. That is it. You made an incorrect statement, and I corrected it (to wit, posts # 238 and 241). You effectively admitted you were wrong in post # 294. Are you now retracting that admission? What is your real issue: historical accuracy or a dislike of being corrected?
