I love it when you rebs bring up Point Lookout. Point Lookout guards were mainly Black. In some cases these guards were ex slaves. It seems the prisoners thought that the guards were insolent and didn't know their place. They didn't want to take orders or be told what to do from Blacks. Needless to say, those ex-slaves didn't take to kindly to insubordination having learned well from their ex-owners.

They(the Confederates) weren't smart enough to figure out they were the insolent prisoners and not the black gaurds.

actually, you are 100% WRONG about that.

over 95% of all the PLPOWC guards were white.

blacks were TRIED, but weren't "severe enough", so they were QUICKLY replaced with white persons, who were MOSTLY being employed as guards rather than confining those same persons as PRISONERS.

may i gently point out that you need to go do some READING from other than REVISIONIST/damnyankee-apologist sources.

are you aware that over 15,000 helpless CSA POWs were MURDERED at Point Lookout DEATH CAMP??
