The black soldiers of the Louisiana Native Guards were never accepted into the rebel military

Not true. As I have previously documented for you, the Native Guard divisions recieved official military orders from the provost general's office in Louisiana over the course of several months before the fall of New Orleans. They actively participated in military preparations for the city upon reciept of those orders.

When the rebels pulled out of New Orleans, they refused to take the Louisiana Guards with them!
