Absolutely I believe that the CONFEDERATE state pension boards tried to deny black soldiers their pensions, so if you want to phrase it that way, yes, it's a conspiracy. And My argument is with YOU "pal," not Jordan, and YOU have shown zero evidence to dispute Jordan's claims except the "fact" that racist Confederates would in fact deny rights to blacks (even if soldiers). Wow, imagine that, the South denying rights to black.

And since you cannot apparently do history in any fashion---accepting Confederates' word at face value, but not testimony of black soldiers---then I have to assume you are clueless about how to do history . . . "pal."

Please confirm that you're not too dense to understand that were never any CONFEDERATE state pension boards.

Nonsense. I have presented nothing to support the conclusion that there was a racist conspiracy to deny black confederate soldier their pensions. In fact I was quite clear in stating my belief that the records of the state pension boards are accurate. It is you and your proxy Jordan...bending over backward to invent a multicultural confederacy... who are making that specious claim.

Lol! You are either amusingly ignorant of the history of the CSA pension system or willfully so. I suggest you do some homework.

What cannot be disputed in your brief is the glaring hypocrisy of a southern culture which... according to you and muppets like Jordan... embraced black confederate soldiers as brothers in arms, then denied them their pensions a couple of decades later.
