Nice to see the 'Lost Cause' is still being taught as fact. Also it does not matter how you try to flower over language, black laborer= slaves. Call it what it was.
When Farragut fought to capture New Orleans in 1862, the free colored people (NOT SLAVES!!!!) wanted to fight against the Unionists, the Connfederacy army leaders refused their assist!!!!! It is not a wonder about 300 000 colored soldiers fought for the Union, it may be their role was important for the Northern triumph as at Nashville in 1864. Interesting the Civil War veteran association (in North) the colored soldiers were accepted 100% right members after the Civil War! It was a big thing in the second half of XIXth Century! BTW except for West Virginia were some counties where not colored unionist soldiers were as in Loudon county at the Potomac river. Howewer Appalachian region from (North) Alabama through (North) Georgia, West part of North Carolina and (East) Tennessee were strong unionist togheter with North West Arkansas (Ozark region). Some West Tennessee counties were unionist also. Some smaller region in Mississipi (Jones county), some areas in Texas, Florida or Lousiana had smaller unionist population. ONLY SOUTH CAROLINA WHITE POPULATION WAERE ALMOST 100% PRO CONFODERATION! In south Alabama and In Texas were smaller pro unionist gerilla actions. Humorous, a (west or mid) Tenneesse young man thought his grand-grand father fought in a Tenneessee cavalry regiment under general Forrest, but his surprise was in his investigation his grand grandfather's cavalry regiment number was good but his grand grand father fought in the Unionist TENNEESSE cavalry regiment, which number was same to the Tenneessee Confederat cavalry regiment!!!! LOL!
