As you might have realized, the Confederate commander at Murfreeborough (where the Union commander reported blacks fighting against the Union troops) was none other than Nathan Bedford Forrest. Here's a link to what he said about them

Yeah, I've read Williams' BS before. Now allowing for the post war Southron revisionism, it'd still be be nice if you could provide something along the lines of the official report you posted for the Union officer. Surely with all the bazillion black confederate soldiers you claim existed someone must have reported something?

Show me where I've claimed that there were huge numbers of black confederate soldiers. You can't, because I haven't. But that hasn't stopped you from making up claims.

Here's the other OR link. Armed and equiped Southern negroes fighting the Federals

The Forrest quote about the blacks who served under him was made after the war as Williams' quote said and as such was, of course, not in the Official Records. But you knew that.
