No, but the implication you all are trying to make is that there were tens of thousands of blacks in combat roles in the confederate army, serving side by side with their white comrades as brothers in arms and valued fellow soldiers, blah, blah, blah. Nothing could be further from the truth. Tens of thousands of blacks served the confederate army in support roles. A certain percentage probably did so willingly. Blacks did not serve legally in combat roles until March 1865.
Support roles are often in the line of fire and serve a very important role in keeping the military machine running.
Does a cook, which is an important part of the machine ("An army marches on its stomach." Napoleon Bonaparte), on a submarine escape unharmed if said submarine is torped?
Your original statement was to imply that "cooks, servants, laborers, and the like" were unimportant, less than honorable roles and now you're trying to weasel out of it with this typical NS rhetoric. Pathetic.
A certain percentage probably did so willingly.
Can you be specific about this "certain percentage" or is this just more of your biased conjecture.
Blacks did not serve legally in combat roles until March 1865.
By that statement, you're admitting that the Confederacy was, indeed, legal?
After all, an illegal entity can't grant legality.
How many times have you blathered that the Confederacy never existed because it was illegal to secede?
You can quit these threads now. You're busted.
Bye-bye, NS. We're gonna miss you......................NOT!
Not legally, but they DID serve.....
