Manc, IDB, CB, VA, JDN - Seems like Mr. Zak isn't content to just bash the South. Seems he also wants to discredit men of color who served with honor for the confederacy. Shall we give him a history lesson? They seem to want to drop the subject when we provide proof.

They were slaves

Nope, free men of color served also.

Please provide a link to any Confederate Army table of organization listing a unit with African-American soldiers

Actually, a couple are in existance. Hint, check out North Carolina. Also, Tennessee passed legislation authorizing all free male persons of color between the ages of 15 and 50 to be pressed into service. Serving the CSA with state militia units was common since many states refused to surrender their militias to the CSA. It's that states rights thing you see.

Since you appear to promote the idea that Lincoln Rebublicans were for equality for the negroes, please provide a Union Army table listing a NON-SEGREGATED troop of black soldiers.

I’ll take it from your response that you cannot find CSA army listing of African-Amercan troops. Free blacks were also banned until March 1865.

I just posted a few things for our revisionist friend to chew on.

I believe he will find the references, documents and pictures to be authentic and well sourced.

Good night all.
