Lol when their lives were on they line they reinstated the n*ggers they hated in a last ditch effort to win, then immediately disbanded them when they were safe.Negro soldiers did fight for the Southern cause under the Confederate flag during the Civil War.
1st Louisiana Native Guard CSA - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
The Louisiana State Legislature passed a law in January 1862 that reorganized the militia into only “...free white males capable of bearing arms… ”.[9]
The Native Guards regiment was affected by this law. It was forced to disband on February 15, 1862, when the new law took effect
Funny you left out the rest of that paragraph.
"Their demise was only temporary, however, for Governor Moore reinstated the Native Guards on March 24 after theU.S. Navy under AdmiralDavid G. Farragut entered the Mississippi River." [10] As the regular Confederate forces underMajor GeneralMansfield Lovell abandoned New Orleans, the militia units were left to fend for themselves. The Native Guards were again, and in finality, ordered to disband byGeneralJohn L. Lewis, of the Louisiana Militia, on April 25, 1862, as Federal ships arrived opposite the city. General Lewis cautioned them to hide their arms and uniforms before returning home"
It's almost like you are tying to be misleading...
