The worst whup’n that Custer received during “The War of Northern Aggression” happened when he made his first attempt to destroy a Confederate wagon train being escorted by an all black unit during the retreat from Richmond. The repulse so shocked Custer that he got together an over whelming force to destroy the train and succeeded only after a series of attacks.

I'm gonna call 'Southron fairy tale' on that one. Got any details?

Did you ever come up with any documentation on that?

It's a nice story, and I vaguely remember something about Custer having been taught a lesson by Confederate escort troops, but don't recall a Black unit in the story.
