There's a book that I can't remember the name of and my old friend who went to Howard University which is a historic black university even studied this guy.
A black man marched around the south holding a confederate flag because he supported what the South's succession was really about.
There were many and I mean MANY blacks who voluntarily joined the confederacy because they disagreed with the federal government becoming so powerful.
The real reason the south succeeded was because they were in favor of states rights just as the forefathers of this country were.
It wasn't about slavery until Lincoln and his staff realized that the North was not behind the war. there were riots in NY because of the draft because most disagreed with the war.
You need to pick up a history book that hasn't been tainted by the federal government. The shit they teach you in High school is flt wrong
