I dare say most of the blacks who knew Lee would pound you back into the stone age if they heard you trash-talking him.

Of course they would... they'd face fierce beatings and perhaps death if they didn't. But after beating me down before the eyes of their oppressors, they'd search me out and secretly beg me to smuggle them to the North as I left.

If you're such a brilliant student of history, you'd know that black Confederate soldiers were short lived. There weren't very many and they had an extremely high desertion rate. In fact, after they employed black soldiers, most defected to the North within a month or two. And they only began employing them because it was evident that they couldn't win the war.

You are making the claim, now back it up. Stop dodging the question. Be a man.

What was my claim? I only expressed an opinion. Treasonous, vile, rebellious, racist, ignorant, foolhardy, loser, etc. That's a Confederate.

They essentially only offered the slaves military service as a last resort.

You lost this debate before you ever typed the first word. You have sadly sold your soul to those who falsely malign people. You now freely make false accusations of "closet white supremacist views" against fellow- believers. And you even denigrate former slaves who don't hold to your views. Pathetic.

Dude. The war settled the debate long ago. LOL Your side lost.

We won, baby. The Union rocks!

We are only "treasonous" if you can find the clause in the Constitution forbidding secession. Until you do that, you remain a liar and a false accuser.

The blacks who defected from the Confederate lines to the North had more guts than Lee.

Yeah, and the Soviets stamping out the "Prague Spring" with military force settled the communist issue in Czechoslovakia, too. Right.

Might makes right.

Now go have another beer.

How about the blacks who were forced to fight for the Union, or the slaves who were tortured and raped for not revealing where their master's valuables were hidden? A bunch of traitors, I presume.
