I'm quaking in my boots.
inasmuch as you ALWAYS have some WEAK excuse for your evasions/deceits, my guess is that you are "hanging your hat on" the FACT that Blackerby NEVER specifically says that the 100,000 to 150,00 Blacks who served were FREE.- fyi, that will convince NOBODY, who has followed this subject, as i've said, from the first, what Blackerby & i, as well as YOU know. = that slaves are not & NEVER were counted as "members of the forces" (OR after the war, as veterans of that war, either.)
Tap-dancing like crazy I see, not to mention changing your story. But as you yourself has said, everyone knows that only free blacks were allowed to serve. So if Blackerby uses figures like 100,000 to 150,000, or even if he uses figures like 300,000, then by your own claims then each and every one of them has to be free, right? And the fact that such figures are between 5 and 15 times the total number of free black males of military age in the South is meaningless in your world.
laughing AT you. (btw, do you realize that you just tacitly admitted, in your last post, that you KNOW that what i quoted Blackerby as saying is IN his book???)
Post the page number.
fyi, it won't work this time as EVERYONE (with the possible exception of a FEW of the more ignorant,hate-FILLED, stupid DAMNyankees.), as we are ALL "on to your game".
otoh, you don't mind being seen as a LIAR. after all, that's what PROPAGANDISTS do for a living. furthermore, for the PROPAGANDIST, truth is whatever serves their cause. AND being exposed as a LIAR on one subject simply means that the propagandists makes OTHER equally STUPID/dishonest accusations and/or LIES again, on a different subject.
