Re: Militia vs. Confederate Service
Ok, I found a source for the BEE, however, it is very hard to read and does not mention the colored guard or any details of the guard assignments prior to the prisoners arrival. It does mention in detail of the guard at the station without mentioning the lone colored company, but it also says ALL of New Orleans, white and black were there.
So where is the reference that the colored guard was turned away?
