Well, you ducked twice.

Not at all. However, your premise that...

"There is plenty of solid academic scholarship to suggest that there were at least 100,000 black confederates, of whom perhaps 10% were armed and fought"

...is false.

The fact that some black college professsor made this unsubstantiated claim in a book is ...meaningless..without substantial corraborating evidence. Its not quotes you'll need to provide here LS, its the author's underlying evidence that supports them that needs to be presented.

-btw Professor Ervin Jordan is already on record as saying he believes there was a conspiracy to cover-up the evidence of black confederate soldiers.

Do you agree?

I wouldn't call it "conspiracy." I'd say that there is a tendency of ALL liberal profs to deny the presence of Black Confederate soldiers as it goes against their template. And whether the prof is black or not is purely a racist comment.

And, yes, you're ducking. You cannot provide ANY evidence now for the third time that what he says is not true, only to impugn (unnamed) sources and never offering a single quotation or piece of evidence. That's not the way we do history. You have to actually have evidence, and so far, he does, you don't.
