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??

It's a real shame for the general public you could not have been at Fort Lookout as another captured confederate insurgent.
I don't suppose you'd have any evidence of this, would you? Because, oddly enough, the Point Lookout website (hardly a place of anti-southern sentiment), lists the regiments that provided guards at the camp, and about a third of them have "Colored" or "Negro" in their names. And the litany of atrocities cited by former prisoners seem particularly slanted toward specifying black guards as their perpetrators.
