I guess I dismiss the assertion that slaves were falling all over themselves to help the CSA as to be wholly ridiculous. But Edgarton's assertions are amazing. I admit that in history it is far too simple to misinterpret numbers and events. But some seem pretty damn airtight. Like the fact that Lee's army's numbers were equaled by the number of black Confederates...that would seem fairly obvious that it is false. Where does Edgarton believe this "lost" army to have been those four years? I can say emphatically that they were not in North Alabama. And that the slaves here deserted every chance they got.....Chris</p> I admit that I have only casually followed this debate, on this blog and from other sources.
