In fact, 200,000 southern blacks and 100,000 southern whites fought for the United States of America while millions of northern Democrats collaborated with their rebel brethren of the Confederacy.

Wow. Maybe 300,000 Southerners sided with the yankees, while MILLIONS of Northerners sided with the Confederacy. That ought to tell you something.

Yes, it does tell you something. The northerners who sided with the Confederates were all Democrats, and the southerners who sided with the United States Government (the blacks and the white Unionists) voted Republican as soon as they could.

Exactly, and Partisan's stats aren't even right. There were not even 200,000 blacks in the entire federal army, much less southern blacks. Yet do you think that stops him from posting that number incessantly?

Millions of Yankees did not fight in Southern armies, not even the rabid RATS. That was a pretty inept attempt at sophistry.
