I find the author’s statement that blacks didn’t serve in South Carolina hard to believe.

I have seen Civil war photos of Black units (unknown configuration), from VA, GA and TN. They were fed and paid same as the Whites (for the most part).

If they survived, they were given their freedom.

If SC didn’t have Black units (as the North did), then I learned something new today.

Why?

Can you direct me to some? I have never seen anything documenting a single black unit in the Confederate army prior to March 1865.
