The Confederate had a different view of blacks than the Union.
There were several all black confederate units and occasionally, black officers and noncoms commanded white soldiers, something that would never happen in the Union army.

You bet they had a different view. Black Yankee soldiers were not to be treated as prisoners of war if, captured, they were to treated as if they were run away slaves. White officers in command of black units were to be shot. Yep a different view of blacks than the Union. Cite a source for all black confederate units and black officers and noncoms commanding white Confederate troops.

No. There weren't. Only in your fantasy world. "All black confederate units" were slaves working on roads and bridges and fortifications.
