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

Excellent sources:)

MZ - 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

MZ - It appears you don't understand the hint I provided you. It also appears that you don't know to look for individual service records. That means CSA soldiers would be in integrated troops. I'll be waiting for you to post the U.S. troop list for a NON-SEGREGATED unit.

Also, as I mentioned, Tennessee authorized free men of color in 1861. These men saw service w/the CSA. You see, not every state wanted to hand over their militia to federal authority however, their units did serve w/CSA. It's that states right's issue that I'm not quite sure you comprehend.

Now I'm back to bed, but I'm sure when I log on tomorrow you'll have posted the non-segregated Union troops roster. Why, I'll bet you'll have even mastered the little hint thingy too.

Somebody should have told Howell Cobb about all those black Confederates because he wrote in Jan. 1865 that:

"...the moment you resort to negro soldiers your white soldiers will be lost to you."

Than again, that might have been the reason that so many thousands of reb soldiers deserted. :)

for TN then a perfect example was Bedford Forest who had blacks with him
