for starters, KRICK is about as likely as you to print anything that makes "the filth that came down from the north" look like the hatefilled/imperialist/arrogant/racist/frequently anti-semetic horde that they ACTUALLY were.

even you, IF YOU WERE HONEST, would NOT be able to deny the valiant service of tens of thousands of FREE black soldiers,sailors & marines who HONORABLY served the southron cause. but then, of course, you'd HAVE to admit that the WBTS, for the union side, was ONLY about CONQUEST of a smaller, poorer,weaker foreign country, rather than a crusade against slavery OR to "perserve the union".

"came down from the north"?

There were 300,000 southerners in US service at the end of the ACW. Heck, there were more blacks in US service than there were whites in rebel service. That's a hoot, isn't it? At the end of the war:

Total under arms for the so-called CSA: 155,000

Blacks under arms for the USA: 175,000.

If there were 100,000 blacks in the insurgent armies, what happened to them? Lee had less than 8,000 men with him at Appomattox.
