So, a) Jordan DID say it, contrary to what you stated, meaning I was right, and b) you question his sources. Very, very different.

To clarify, there was nothing published by Jordan to substantiate his claim of 100,000 black confederates or 10,000 black confederate soldiers. Not sure I would include such unsubstantiated claims in the catagory of 'scholarly' or 'peer reviewed' either.

I don't recall any claims of a "cover up." Evidence? Pages?

I was assuming a familiarity with Jordan and his research on your part based on your positive comments of his work. One need only search on 'Elvin Jordan+ cover-up' to find an example of his oft-repeated claim that there was a conspiracy to white wash black involvement in the confederacy.
