Patton had two Grandfathers who were Confederate veterans. One a general and the other a colonel. One died at New Market.
Patton was from California and he did not integrate his army. It actually would have been a big mess if he tried.
With all due respect he did. When he needed riflemen he placed African Americans into his combat units.
I’m a bit skeptical about that. The military was ordered to integrate in 1948, but the Army dragged its feet until the Korean War broke out. There, the Army was so desperate for troops, any troops, that trying to maintain colored and white unit differentiation proved too problematic. If integration was successful six years later, under far more trying and chaotic circumstances, why couldn’t it have been possible in 1944?
