The article where the suggestion was raised, The UDC, Black Confederates, and the Manipulation of the Past, had a commenter named Tim Lacy advocating that laws like European "Holocaust denial" laws, be enacted in the US to cover people who have politically incorrect opinions about 19th Century slavery in the South.

The writer was incensed about the idea that anybody would claim that blacks had freely served in the Confederate Army. (BTW, it is historical record that blacks did serve in the Confederate Army).

You are correct. However, the context, in this case, is really irrelevant. It’s the very idea that anyone would even suggest criminalizing someone’s opinion. Utterly astounding.
