The difference, is those black teamsters and such in the Confederate army were S-L-A-V-E-S.

Negative. There were free blacks serving in these positions, too. Contrary to popular myth, not all blacks in the South were slaves (cruise through New Orleans sometime and vist the historical markers around the city, free blacks were well established). Again, trying to frame this complex event in black and white is a drastic oversimplification of THE most complex event in OUR history.
