"Blacks who filled these roles for the rebel army."

We are getting off track of the original contention of the article, which was they wanted the section in the text regarding black CSA soldiers removed because they contend it is false.

It is not "false" per se, but rather makes what may be a contentious claim as to the number.

The statement: "African Americans served in uniform on the side of the CSA."

Is a true statement, as you have now acknowledged.

True.

I would agree with that as well.

It is, and I acknowledge it.
