Elephant Walk;
I support you. This issue just became "main-stream" over the past few years. Civil War News had several articals and Letters to Ed past few months. Prior to that, I have seen Blacks in Civil War Re-enactments wearing Gray.
Just to further round out this history class: Women fought on both sides, Indians fought on both sides as well as against both sides-the war in the West while smaller in scope was just as bad. In fact there was an Indian Confederate General.
