Fantatsic information you provided there. I have known for quite awhile that black soldiers did not do much fighting (if any) for the South, but I never knew Louisiana had an actual regiment of black soldiers. I shouldn’t be surprised. The French and Spanish way of dealing with slaves in their society (in the colonies) , while still brutal, was more relaxed than the Anglo method. It is also no surprise that they were not armed by the state during the Civil War.
