Perhaps this is an area of history you could study. Granted there's not a lot of research, but if you could only find 3 academic sources that address black confederates, you're not trying. I consider Dr. Williams scholar, despite this article not being published in a peer-reviewed journal.

I found three sources on the topic with a 5 min search in scholarly databases.

Wilson Quarterly; Summer98, Vol. 22 Issue 3, p127, 1/2p
Human Events; 02/11/2000, Vol. 56 Issue 5, p18, 1/2p
Journal of American History; Jun96, Vol. 83 Issue 1, p219-219, 4/5p

Not to mention a surprising wealth of “dead-tree” references to blacks participating in the Civil War on both sides, with some dating back to Reconstruction (many of which now out of print).

Sigh. You know better. When I say there are three or four or whatever number of scholars who say “x,” I certainly don’t mean that there are ONLY that number. I’m not here to do historiography, merely to make a few suggestions. But feel free to post all the lists you want.
