furthermore, MANY northerners (including a whole regiment from NJ) and "out of country nationals" came to fight for dixie freedom, as they too knew what the war was REALLY about = throwing off the yoke of the northern ELITES from the necks of the common people.
to paraphrase an old grad school prof of mine: NOTHING in history is simple, except to simpletons.
also, sorry but REVISIONIST historiography came out of the northeastern "poison ivy league screwls" - whatever else we southrons are, it is NOT "revisionist".
free dixie,sw
I think you are being the revisionist and I did not need to capitalize whole words to say so.
It’s never too late to call “swattie’s law” (FreeRepublic’s version of Godwin’s law).
Hey swattie - I bet you could prove your claim of “100,ooo- 150,ooo” (whatever that means!) free blacks volunteering if you got a copy of Blackerby’s book and showed us.
What do you say?
A new one! Gee, I can't remember the last time you posted an original lie on one of these threads - that 100,000 to 150,000 free black confederate nonsense is getting soooo old. But now we have an entire regiment of New Jersey soldiers fighting for the rebs. So tell us, Mort, under what designation did they fight? Where they the 1st New Jersey Confederate Volunteers? Or did they go under another name?

And I wonder what he'd think today, knowing that the biggest simpleton on FR is paraphrasing him?

Revisionists generally cling to a grain of truth. What you are are bullsh*t artists.
