D'Souza countered with the unknown fact that 300,000 white men from the north during the Civil War fought against the south to win freedom for slaves.

I hope that is not what D'Souza said.

Over 2 million men served in the Union Army during the Civil War and well over 300,000 died during the course of that war. Of those deaths, approx 2/3 of them were from various "camp diseases" while the other 1/3 were killed in action on the battlefield or died as a result of wounds in battle. Another 200,000+ were wounded in action but survived.

Taken together, there were over 500,000 Union casualties during the war, or approx. 25% of the 2+ million man army.

Well they must have died only because they hated blacks and wanted to have them all sent back to Africa. :>}
