Indeed but maybe she assumed that you should assume her ancestors were black. That wouldn't have been a safe assumption but who knows what she assumed that you should assume.
But you're preaching to the choir because "most" current blacks don't forget that fact. The context of their soldier status is well remembered as inequality under the Confederacy, which is why being a "proud" Confederate soldier and waving the Confederate flag is baffling to many blacks.
