Of course it's the only reason you can think of, Walt. You're very obviously a hatemonger and bigot who sees history through the guise of agenda. I maintain the position that there were black Confederates because there were. I also believe blacks participated the American Revolution, something you must certainly think impossible, given your maniacal hate-driven revisionist thinking. Your revisionism is motivated by hatred, and you have show that very clearly many times. How you must hate Abraham Lincoln for his race prejudice, and how you must hate US Grant for using slaves to care for his children, and how you must hate the US Government for protecting slavery before, during, and after the Civil War (13th amendment came many months AFTER, and the UNION SLAVE STATES held on to thiers till the end). How you must despise the US Government for planning and attempting genocide on the western Indians, an act performed by the same Union Generals that protected slavery before, during, and after the Civil War. Or are you a hypocrite in addition to being a simplistic hatemonger? I have no trouble believing you despise the US Government, after all, you called the Constitution "a pact with the devil".
How many?

I was quoting William Lloyd Garrison, the abolitionist, who said that in a speech on July 4, 1829.
You don't know the history.

No, I understand that there was a whole regiment of black troops in Washington's army, from either Connecticut or Rhode Island, I think. There is also a black figure in the famous painting of Washington crossing the Delaware River.
