[Grand Old Partisan]

Show me evidence of a just one black man among the tens of thousands of rebel prisoners held or paroled by the United States Army during the Civil War.

You are in denial about Black Confederates? Perhaps you should read some of the links/titles posted in this thread. William C. Davis who is quite critical of the Confederate government, in his book "Look Away!" even cited examples where Southern Blacks raised money, donated services and supported the Confederate war effort.

A quick websearch turns up many accounts, this being one of them:

The following is from "To Die in Chicago"

Three of these men were undoubtedly servants, and four appeared
to be soldiers. The army was not reluctant to jain black prisoners.
Racism in the North was widespread and society discriminated against
blacks in education, employment, and civil rights. Black children
attended segregated shools in Chicago, for example. Tucker did not
even list slaves owned by Confederate officers.
...
The seven blacks remained at Camp Douglas because three belonged
to enlistted men, and the rest were either free men or slaves without
masters. Some claimed to be soldiers. Others denied it. "One thing
is certain," the Tribune notd, "that many of them are as well dressed
as the commissioned officers we have seen."
