You forgot to mention the Confederate Black soldiers who were also highly honored and regarded by their white peers. About 15% of the Confederate Army was black and they served bravely. They knew the war was not about slavery but whether there would be a strong Federal government or not. A strong federal government would be tyrannical.
The big difference, the Northern troops were segregated, the Confederate Army was integrated. Prejudice started in the North, not the South.
What really gets me is that after every battle the USCT's fought in someone always had the quote " the question of whether the negro will fight is settled". Its like how many times did they need to stop bullets just as good as whitemen to show that they were men? Those were sad times!
Keep telling that history; read some great military history.
How do you keep a people down? You 'never' let them 'know' their history.
The 7th Cavalry got their butts in a sling again after the Little Big Horn Massacre, fourteen years later, the day after the Wounded Knee Massacre. If it wasn't for the 9th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers, there would of been a second massacre of the 7th Cavalry. Read the novel, and visit website, rescue at pine ridge. com
Not true. There were thousands of free blacks living in the south during the Civil War. However there wasn't large numbers of them fightying for the south like many CSA apologists claim.
JPfromFlint-- what fucking part of this don't you grasp? You mustnow fucking know of Jeff DavisJan 5 proclamation ---- well, no wonder, the South has fucking hid it for150 years. Davis issued a big ass proclamation to RE-ENSLAVE all freed slaves. Read it -- just stunning. See Jordon's "Black Confederates" Appendix C page 319.
Nice vid. One correction to the statistics thats often misquoted. 36,000 black men died in the civil war. That's where you get the 1 out of 3 black men died in battle stat. The error is that not all these black men died in battle. In fact only 9% of black Civil War deaths were in battle ( about 2,800). The rest were from Disease. Disease was the biggest killer for all troops in the war and it killed over 33,000 black men in the war.

Wonderful! This was beautifully put together. I plan to share it with others so they will know that BLack men and women have fought in EVERY american war since the Revolutionary war and any questions regarding BLACK "patriotism" are MOOT...thanks
Frederick Douglas(ex slave, abolitionist,author)-" There are at the present moment, many colored men in the Confederate Army doing duty not only as cooks, servants and laborers, but as real soldiers, having muskets on their shoulders and bullets in their pockets ready to shoot down... and do all that soldiers may do to destroy the Federal Government."
That is a beautiful song. I do not understand why any African American would fight for the US - there is so much systemic abuse still! I think the black man ought to tell Uncle Sam to stuff it!
in 1945 a young girl named kata lata kulu came over to America in a grey boat from Africa. a mysterious man killed her by cutting the word "LATUALATUKA" in her back. now that you have read this message, she will come to your house on a full moon and steal your soul unless you follow these directions.

If anyone thinks free blacks fought for the Confederacy -- you are insane.
Not only because it did not happen - but because there WERE no free blacks.
Jeff Davis issued an order Jan 5, 1863 to place "all freed blacks back on the slave status forever".
Plus --the effort by some to DRAFT slaves -- not freemen (which did not exist anyway) -- never materialized in time.
The few blacks that were with the CSA were slaves of some officers. They were not in the CSA.
