in point of fact, over 100,000 Black men (and not a few women, btw!) volunteered to serve in the CSA army, navy & marines. by mid-1862 virtually every large unit of the CSA forces was desegregated. in the CSA all soldiers/sailors/marines were paid by rank alone, rather than by their skin color.
in the union forces, Blacks served at HALF pay, in segregated units, under the command of white officers.
of course the "oh, so PC LEFT" & the DAMNyankee apologists want to keep those UNcomfortable facts quiet.
