Here is the link the Post gave, and that I regrettably failed to preserve in my quotation, which deals with the same claims by Sons of Confederate Veterans that you raise. Apologies.
Walter Williams is no Son of Confederate Veterans..... LOL, The fact that blacks served the Confederate Army in many roles including combat is irrefutable/documented, only the numbers are of contention. Any historian that disputes that fact is not a student of history, but of PC politics........http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2011/09/black-confederates/
