[Grand Old Partisan]

Interesting, but where is this from? Somebody's notes from 1912? Remember, it was illegal under CSA law for blacks to be in the rebel army.

Again, enslaving one-third the population nd whipping them into picking cotton -- the cause for which the rebels fought -- is as big a Big Government program there can be.

Again as another poster has pointed out, pieces of paper passing across the desk in Richmond didn't really mean a hill of beans at the front lines. As is evidenced by even yankee reports of Black Confederates. Oh, but I suppose those too are false. Much different from the micromanagement of lincoln over his troops. You see he knew the steps the invasion force was taking. He knew the deaths. He just didn't care. All to save his blasted union. Can't get the myth of lincoln tarnished a bit now can we? I'm suprised y'all just haven't gone ahead and venerated him up next to Christ
