"However, organized companies, battalions and regiments composed of slaves or FMC are not going to be found in Confederate records."

I never once made this claim. In fact everything I have posted on the subject has been sourced, up to and including the number of 65,000 Black Confederate soldiers. So now the Ors are wrong, Dr. William Walters and numerous black historians are wrong, Ed Bearess is wrong, state archives is wrong, all these sources are wrong except Alan Pitts.

I am truly amazed.
