Re: Enlistment Of Blacks in the Confederate Milita

"they weren't really soldiers"

It's pointless to argue with them. They change the rules midstream and are constantly moving the goalpost.

"He's not a soldier. He's not on the roll."
"He is on the roll."
"But he's not a real soldier."
"He's listed as private."
"He was passing as white."

...and so it goes.
