I’m not ignoring your issue. I just don’t think the racial composition of a force that never reached its authorized strength of 1000 men is particularly relevant to a war in which something around 3.5M to 4.0M men fought.

actually, about 2,500 CS Marines served in the CSMC. and YES, this is RELEVANT in that the CSMC was THE elite force of the CSA & President Davis thought of the marines as HIS "personal regiment" & "The Praetorian Guard" of the CSA. had the CSA been the "slaveocracy" that the RADICAL DY idiots say that the CSA was, there would have been NO Black/AI CS marines.

you don't think it important that the CSMC was DESEGREGATED 80 years BEFORE the USMC "lowered itself" to accept Black/AI volunteers??? could it be that you dismiss this bit of TRUTH because it doesn't "fit the DY template"???
