@Ionus,
Quote:problem with blacks fighting alongside blacks with black officers and whites doing the same until society gave equal rights to blacks at least.
Less see under that plan since the civil war blacks got the worst of the worst details/jobs time after time.
Not good having arm men that piss off all the time just to start with and hardly a great way to increase the likelihood that the black units will see their white fellow solders in trouble as people they should be willing to die for.
It is amazing that it work at all for as long as it did but it was hardly the ideal.
In fact a few times black units did break under the stress of mistreatment and rebel. I would need to google it and it getting late but if memory serve me correctly one black unit station in Texas after WW1 and a whole white town got into a real live battle and of course the blacks ended up being hung.
