LOL!! Well there you go then boys!! There wasn't a slave left in the South!! If we use Mr. Ditto's numbers here and take the smallest possible number EVER SEEN in print, which is these 3000 soldiers, reported on by a yankee doctor I might add, we have 30 MILLION slaves that escaped the Southern 'slaveocracy' as the yank apologists so lovingly put it.
By the numbers available of all possible slaves that means that every single one of them escaped to the North and returned 7 times!! Wow Ditto, with numbers like that it's kind of amazing that anyone had time to fight a war!! Transporting folks back and forth must have put a strain on the nation's infrastructure. Wonder why we never hear about these massive migrations back and forth? Just like a lib, throw out an outrageous number that has no basis in reality and expect it to be taken as the Gospel. That's exactly how the lincoln myth began. The fact is that Black Confederate records are being discovered all the time, either from new documentation found or documentation that has been covered up by the yankee propagandists. lincoln's Tariff War needed a cause by late 1862 with so much unrest in the north so they rallied around the Abolitionist Cause. Slavery was a red herring
