Recently, Robert Moore over at Cenantua’s Blog , has posted some very interesting articles about black confederates or more correctly Confederate Slaves and their claims in the Virginia Pension system in the early 1900’s.  I think both Robert and Kevin Levine have provided some very good insite into this new claim by the neo-confederates and the SCV in an attempt to make their heritage appear more acceptable. 

Here is another site that reports on Black Confederates that has a wealth of information, but I believe Robert and Kevin have done more in their posts than this site has done with all of its massive amounts of “documentation”.  Once again proving that quality matters more than quantity.
