I'm not complaining, just confused. I would think since the country disliked african americans so much they'd be glad to send them off to war to preserve their own, but the reverse was in affect. Many able-bodied willing blacks were flat out denied the ability to fight. So strange.

it had to do with a sense of pride for our country that racists don't have today. imo. it was a good virtue mixed with a bad one, creating patriotic racism. patriotic racists didn't want a black man representing america overseas.

There it is.

Also you have to realize, like women, at this time black were lesser human beings.
