Fact: Outnumbered, the CS Army contracted thousands of black laborer to build fortifications; especially around Atalanta and Richmond. Cooks, musicians, ambulance drivers were almost all black. So when you read the south had 45K troops and the north had 60k troop at some battle, in reality the south probably had close to parity when you add in support from blacks in logistical roles.
Another myth: Central_va can read what’s typed instead of what he wants to read.
I didn’t say the CSA didn’t use black soldiers, poor, misguided souls that they were. I SAID they used blacks as slave labor and 99% of the possible soldiers they COULD HAVE USED from the black population were exactly that.
Fail.
