Bruce Levine, demolishes the myth of Black Confederate soldiers in an article in the Washington Post and you can read it at this link:
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/local-opinions/2010/10/the_myth_of_the_black_confeder.html
It will be in the print version of the Post tomorrow, Sunday, 10/30/10.
Bruce Levine is the author of "Confederate Emancipation: Southern Plans to Free and Arm Slaves During the Civil War," pub. Oxford University Press. It is an excellent book.
This is the link to it at Amazon.com:

The Sons of Confederate Veterans had a book review by Cassie A. Barrow criticizing the book in the Confederate Veteran, Sept./Oct. 2006, page 46. I sent a copy to Bruce Levine who was greatly amused by it.
