A most excellent rebuttal of my point, NOT. Judging from the fact that you reacted like a scalded pig again, Dr. Steiner's observations about black Confederates must have dealt quite a blow to your revisionist fantasies.

Dr. Steiner called the officers and men of the Army of Northern Virginia "filthy and repulsive".

He also thought McClellan a great genius. I'd be careful quoting him.

Like Frederick Douglass, Dr. Steiner was a strong proponent of arming the blacks for --federal-- service, and his comments must be seen in that light.
