OK, I understand. You say that 'it is true that the roll of the black Confederate soldier has been ignored and suppressed for too long.' Until the movie Glory came out a lot of people weren't aware of the full role of the Black soldiers on the Union side either.

I think, to carry this one step further, the role of many non-caucasian races is overlooked in many fields. Just a few examples that come to mind: the Navajo code talkers that stumped the Japanese intelligence, the Chinese laborers that built many of the railways that connected east and west, the scientific advances developed by Dr. George Washington Carver, the Tuskegee Airmen...the list goes on and on...We owe a great deal to all those that made this country what it is today!
