Better check your Civil War statistics. The Union Army had beaucoup African-American troops. It's beyond belief that none of them died in the war.

This post wins the I'm Not A Genius But I Play One On The Internet Award.

First, you demand that we check our "statistics" and then you cite "beaucoup" as your own statistical example.

Second, the sentence "It's beyond belief that none of them died" leaves the reader wondering:

a) Are you amazed that none of them died?
b) Are you being sarcastic and are certain that many of them died (using the "beaucoup statistical standard" as your measurement test)?

Either way. Your post gets my nomination for an award.

I saw Ferris Buellar lead many Union black soldiers to their deaths in battle.

Check for us, please.

A vast majority were White and the debt (if there ever was one) has been paid for a long, long time.

What about reparations as regards the blacks who fought for the south? Do they pay or do they "git"?
