[Non-Sequitur]

Nonsense. I am fully aware of the fact that the confederate congress authorized black combat troops about 4 weeks before Lee surrendered. The interesting thing is that even then, even at the end of the road when they were the most desperate, the confederate congress couldn't bring itself to to anything that might threaten slavery. Those slaves were conscripted into the army and forced to fight for the confederacy and were promised nothing in return. They weren't paid, their masters were. And had the confederacy won the war then they would have been handed back to their owners.

Well, at least you have moved up to "blacks did serve the CSA, but they really didn't want to". That is a step forward. As an aside, when Wlat insists something didn't happen, then that is pretty good evidence it happened.
