>> Blacks in the rebel army were expressly forbidden by Confederate law until 1865. <<
Technically yes. But many served in the ranks anyway. Recruiters weren’t always very particular, and many manservants, cooks, and others went into battle with the rest of the army. When Jackson’s corp marched through one town, a Union fellow there remarked that there quite a few blacks in Jackson’s army alone. I forgot if his estimate was in the hundreds or the thousands. The fellow was amazed that the blacks and whites where marching side by side. Frederick Douglas himself admitted that there were many blacks fighting in the Confederate army. Some of these black Confederates were captured by the Union army and sent to prisoner of war camps. Some refused to take the oath of allegience to the United States. One manservant was asked why he wouldn’t take the oath when his master had. He replied, “Master has no principles.” Another manservant tolk his captors he was a secessionist Negro. I could give so many more examples....
