The census of 1830 lists 965 free black slave owners in Louisiana, owning 4,206 slaves. The state of South Carolina, lists 464 free blacks owning 2,715 slaves. How ironic it is that so many blacks owned so many slaves in South Carolina. Yet, no one seemed to mention this during the flag controversy.

And it only gets WORSE closer to 1860

Some blacks served in the Confederate army, which is another omission in our popular culture. The movie Glory did not happen to mention that blacks served in the Confederate army. It did give the impression that the black soldiers in the 54th Massachusetts were former slaves-- which was not true.

Say it ain't so stainless!! Kind of blows lincoln's American vision that has been forced down our throats straight to heck doesn't it?

They can't handle the truth, so they make up their own so they can blame us for everything. Typical B.S.
