:how do you feel about the 100,000 black men (and NOT a few wonmen) who fought for dixie LIBERTY???"

Don;t even bother eplying to this one. Those 100,000 black rebels are imaginary.

The way I look at it, even if a 100,000 did fight for the Confederacy, would it be any different than American soldiers following orders to fight for an unjust or misunderstood cause in Kosovo?

Didn't some rebel general say that they should have freed the slaves first before seceding? If they had done that, it would have rendered the Rebels morally pure(well, almost.) Instead, their constitution makes their racial hatred pretty well known. Did Lee think that way? Maybe not.

In any event, how can I not be happy that the Union won? My ancestors were freed as a result!! Am I supposed to be sad that slavery didn't get a chance to live on for another 2 decades and that former slaves that put on the blue uniform were re-enslaved?
