If they were in fact soldiers, what was their rank? What was the highest rank a black confederate soldier ever recived and who received it?
Where is the contract? All enlisting members have to sign a contract. What is the length of the contract? What regiment were they assigned to? Who was their commanding officer?
And every soldier is given compensation for their contract? What was their pay? How did the confederacy send money to the bank accounts?
And were they're any disciplinary actions taken on these soldiers? This shit is documented. Even in the union. So the idea that they would be seen as soldiers...is entirely without merit. And if there were, why don't we have statues in the south about them? ... 424
So apparently they had self-aware wolves in the 19th century too 115
That made me laugh.
Though I will say in the Silas Chandler photo the white guy looks FAR more scared than Silas. 153

Hard to argue with that kind of robust evidence. 23
Soldier: "Isn't that your slave, sir?"
Confederate Capitan: "Ha! We are save! Silas infiltrated the enemy army to betray them before they overwhelm us"
Soldier: "They are charging, sir"
Confederate Capitan: "Any second Now"
Soldier: "He is aiming at you, sir"
Confederate Capitan: "Any second Now" ... 882
makes sense to me 33
He is so funny/informative in his own way.. he’s a brilliant idea to get the real message out. That slavery is/was the sole base root of succession
Kudos for your videos. Well done sir. Very well done. ... 67

European colonial empires made extensive use of native soldiers, but they were still racist and exploitative. But they realised that the most effective way to utilize racism was to treat certain people (e.g local elites, or tribes or ethnic groups with a strong martial culture) as superior to the other locals, and grant them some privileges accordingly. That way they will support the system because they benefit from it (or at least think they do).
From the video, it sounds that something similar was happening in New Orleans, but the Confederates were to stuck in their ways to take advantage of it.
So in short, the Confederates were too racist to even do racism effectively. ... 413
Word choice, my friend. 154
Also, the topic covered this time makes me even more curious about your opinion of the 1999 movie Ride with the Devil, because the "exceptionally loyal slave fighting with his master" motive was featured there in a nuanced way if I remember correctly (it was a long time since I watched that movie). ... 172
Did Sherman have beheading contests and use the dead bodies as roads for the armor and vehicles? 23
