until you do, you'd look smarter to find a new ax to grind.
there are THOUSANDS of CSA pension records marked "coloured". do you think the states were too blind to know what color the CSA veterans, who were receiving those pensions, were???

Let's be honest, you really only want to find information that supports your thesis that somehow the south was a complete victim in the Civil War. The fact you sign all your postings with FREE DIXIE makes that fairly clear. You keep quoting obscure books as if somehow because someone wrote something in a book it must be true. If you would use your common sense instead of simply trying to promote your agenda of a victimized south you might learn something. The South as you want it to be probably never existed and certainly does not exist today, and while you cling to this mythological south, the rest of the people in the south continue to move forward and think of themselves as Americans and not as Southerners. The idea of 5 to 7 percent of the southern army being comprised of black soldiers is so totally idiotic only someone like yourself, blinded by your own feelings of victimhood, could possibly believe. Next you are going to tell me there were Jewish regiments in the Nazi SS.
