http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mo/county/stlouis/blackcs.htmQuote: It has been estimated that over 65,000 Southern blacks were in the Confederate ranks. Over 13,000 of these, “saw the elephant” also known as meeting the enemy in combat. These Black Confederates included both slave and free. The Confederate Congress did not approve blacks to be officially enlisted as soldiers (except as musicians), until late in the war. But in the ranks it was a different story. Many Confederate officers did not obey the mandates of politicians, they frequently enlisted blacks with the simple criteria, “Will you fight?” Historian Ervin Jordan, explains that “biracial units” were frequently organized “by local Confederate and State militia Commanders in response to immediate threats in the form of Union raids…”. Dr. Leonard Haynes, a African-American professor at Southern University, stated, “When you eliminate the black Confederate soldier, you’ve eliminated the history of the South.” As the war came to an end, the Confederacy took progressive measures to build back up it's army. The creation of the Confederate States Colored Troops, copied after the segregated northern colored troops, came too late to be successful. Had the Confederacy been successful, it would have created the world's largest armies (at the time) consisting of black soldiers, even larger than that of the North. This would have given the future of the Confederacy a vastly different appearance than what modern day racist or anti-Confederate liberals conjecture. Not only did Jefferson Davis envision black Confederate veterans receiving bounty lands for their service, there would have been no future for slavery after the goal of 300,000 armed black CSA veterans came home after the war.

Finally the South shall rise again, Long Live the Confederacy! Long live Robert E.lee and President Jefferson Davis! Hey Majin lives in a Border state he can chose what he wants...wait the confederacy has been dead since ******** gonk .....Long live the North yeah Union! xd

Quote: there would have been no future for slavery after the goal of 300,000 armed black CSA veterans came home after the war. Does this joker really think a single one would actually go back to the Confederacy if they won the war? While not the most abjectly absurd thing I've heard or read about the Civil War, it's pretty high up there.
