No sh*t, Sherlock. All legislation is congressional legislation.

The point is, Watson, is that blacks weren't allowed to participate in your precious union until your precious union was on the brink of collapse. disHonest Abe and the damnyankee congress, in a panic, changed the rules to protect their financial interests and sent blacks, whom they used as tools to initiate an illegal war, to their deaths.

I would point out that the Union being 'on the brink of collapse' at any time during the rebellion is a figment of your imagination. Like most of you posts.

The first black regiment was raised in Kansas starting in July 1862, less than 18 months after the rebellion began. The first black unit in the rebel army was raised in March 1865, 47 months after the rebellion began. A bit of a difference, wouldn't you agree?

Calm down and wipe the foam off your mouth, you're becoming incoherent. "Initiate illegal war"? "In a panic"?
