re: #188 subliminator
You haven’t shown that they were “fighting” at all. They were slaves. They had no choice about where they were sent, or why. The point is not whether the Union Army called these people prisoners of war — it’s whether the Confederate Army called them SOLDIERS. And they did NOT.
You also didn’t link to anything to prove your assertions.
Even if this is true, which I’m not going to just take at the word of an anonymous blog commenter, you have cited FOUR WHOLE BLACK SOLDIERS.
Wow. Impressive.
