Exactly, anyone who has read Shelby Foote knows this.

Heck, it's one of the most memorable scenes from Gone with the Wind, which was filmed in 1939!

Indeed, there were black regiments that fought on the side of the Confederacy. There were "uncomfortable" moments when veterans of these regiments showed up at commemorative events in the years after the war.
And, as any serious student of history knows, the Emancipation Proclamation only applied to slaves in the Southern states.

I knew about this when I was just a lad..some 45 years ago..my Dad, a Southerner, explained this to me..it's not "startling" or new.. So did I. It was common knowledge among mainstream history courses, books and documentaries. Don't know what is so revolutionary about this news.

Not, it's not... Just kept swept under the rug because this does not go well with the "reason" the Civil War was fought...

I've known this for a long time, but evidently it was a EUREKA! moment for the professor.

It is common knowledge in the South.

Agreed. Teaching "new" facts to the majority of U.S. Citizens who can't tell you who fought in the Civil War must be a lucrative business.
