The previous trickle of escaped and freed slaves enlisting disproves nothing. For all you know, even that trickle may have dried up if they were properly informed of the devious nature of the EP
Maybe not in the same numbers.
Damn right not the same numbers..

with the exception of (equally discriminated against) irish units, few suffered the same casualty rates as the Black troops. Cannon fodder is still a thing in a giant meatgrinder.

smarter, maybe. But still equally morally repugnant if not moreso. better to die a slave of old age than die a slave of a bayonet.. They were not really fighting for freedom, thats just what they were manipulated to believe. they were fighting for deep state control..

yes, equally despicable regardless of race. Im sick of the endless imperial genocide against our own and our "enemies"
Are you offended by the idea of

Drafting to defend one's own homeland is acceptable. Drafting to invade another's home is not. Apply that how you will to the civil war, although the NY draft riots leave little room for debate
And how do you feel about

I feel there are striking parallels to leaving slaves in border states in chains. an army marches on its stomach.. not to mention border state slave owners could pay a $300 commutation of service fee, or find some poor white trash to pay to take their place.
NOW I would appreciate it you would condemn the romanticized paintings which perpetuate the revisionist lies, covering up the equally brutal and coercive treatment of black americans by both sides in a war that was fought for a variety of reasons, least of which was slavery.. The border states and the coerced enlistments prove that very conclusively, as if lincoln's own pen and Stonewall Jacksons illegal sunday school werent enough..
the only reason to lie about history is because you intend to try some shit again, deep state tyrants!
