It is against the Bible and the law to mistreat them. It is also not against the Constitution to own a servant. It is against the Constitution to mistreat them.

The result of my search is :-https://www.battlefields.org/learn/articles/black-confederates-truth-and-legend and this site repeatedly states there are no records of confederate black units, no letters or after the war books, articles that mention confederate black units or serving with or along side such units. It does show an altered picture of a black militia with US officers altered to be a confederate unit. the Web site has records of 7 accou ts where a few armed blacks were encountered. Without more information, sources this is highly unlikely to have happed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But unfortunately most people such as my stepdad will NOT listen to or acknowledge any kind of evidence or logic that in any way is contrary to what they are convinced of. He has provided some evidence but that can't be corroborated or proven legit, other than a few maybe? But for some people all it takes are a few isolated instances of something and they will use it to promote their own infallible ideals or ways of thinking such as this. Some people simply will NEVER change, period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slavery is nothing to be proud of, but the sad thing is that it was history, gone, decided, settled, and over... until wokery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
