why did the yeoman farmers/poor/free blacks/indians of the CSA militaryfight against the damnyankees?

just one reason = THEY WANTED LIBERTY, from the filth that came down from the north.

i am reminded of the words of a slave captured after shooting at several damnyankee soldiers. when asked why he as a slave was shooting at the union army, he said "because you bastards are still down here". sums up in a few words why most southrons fought to the bitter end.

Because Southerners would shoot them themselves if they didn't.

They didn't want their slavemasters to shoot them.

LOL Sounds like a made-up story.
