Just for ONE reference, try reading "Black Confederates and Afro-Yankees," a look at blacks in Virginia (which had, on the whole, some of the better treatment of slaves in the slavocracy). If it was even remotely true that such "loyalty" was the case, the South wouldn't have needed extensive travel laws, restrictions on the movement of slaves, and held countless "slave revolt" trials because there would have been no need. The slaves, as Sherman well knew, couldn't wait to join his army---which was a problem; he had trained professionals, and neither the food nor the guns for such "irregular" forces. Please, read something before you post such utter nonsense.
You have been snowed by advocates of a point of view, making out a case. But the reality is much closer to that which Booker T. Washington recounted than what you have been given to believe.
Again, I accept your claimed evidence. It does not prove your point. Indeed, so extensive was the acceptance of Southern culture, among the Southern Negro population, that to this day, it provides a major ingredient in cultural habits. (And in fact, it works both ways.)
