Ah, got you. So you have no refutation for the fact that almost NONE of the 100,000 "soldiers" never so much as held a weapon. And, yes, they were offered freedom for enlisting. (See Ervin L. Jordan, Jr., Black Confederates and Afro-Yankees in Civil War Virginia). Since you are "from" Virginia, you might actually appreciate a REAL, scholarly study done in your state---which in NO WAY supports your "junk history" conclusions.

So we are left with the fact that 100,000 blacks served as porters, never held (let alone fired) a weapon; while in the north 175,000 trained in firearms (the mark of liberty) and many actually fought; and we have more WHITE SOUTHERNERS who fought for Abe Lincoln than we have blacks who did physical labor (often for emancipation) for the Confederacy.

Thanks for continuing this discussion long enough to make an ass of yourself.

NOPE. as usual you are spewing NONSENSE.

that is NOT what i said AND i note that you have NO sensible refutation of my criticism of your REVISIONIST/LEFTIST bilge & (frankly) LIES told by the statist/elitist LEFT.

PITY.

i expect BETTER from an academic colleague.
