Greg & others, thanks for the feedback.

I know next to nothing about the subject of Blacks in the Confederacy...

I still can't belief that Black slaves were always [or even usually] protected from battle. I mean, I find it hard to believe that Civil War battles weren't announced beforehand were they? So how would Confederate soldiers have time to remove their 'servants'-excuse me-their property away for safekeeping?   

I can agree with many of the points you made Greg in your last post.
But I still think that there were probably some African Americans who were in favor of the Confederacy for any number of reasons...
