:puke: also

He can call himself what he wants, it doesn't make it true or accurate. In my research of this topic, I've found no documentation or any evidence of any black confederate soldiers or any colored confederate units, volunteer or otherwise. There's plenty written about the USCT (US Colored Troops) units that fought for the Union, the most famous being the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, highlighted in the movie Glory. Confederate General Patrick Cleburne was the only senior officer that advocated recruiting blacks for military service. It can be implied that blacks fought for the CSA, but there's no proof that any did. Considering the general social distain of black people in that time and the reasons the seceeding states gave for leaving the union, I seriously doubt that the CSA would have actually armed black troops. The Confederate Congress seriously considered it during the final months of the war.

The article: Edgerton's reasoning is pure revisionist history. I have no idea how blacks earned "honor and dignity" under the Confederate battle flag. Obviously he never read the various states' Articles of Secession, all of which stated the maintenance and continuation of slavery was the primary reason for secession. They can be read at http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/csa/csapage.htm His intentions may be good, but I question his methods.
