SHAPE has quite a good bit of info. Factual and sourced information on Black Confederates at "Negroes In Gray" at http://negrosingrey.southernheritageadvancementpreservationeducation.com/page.php?2
At the current time we have some 10,000 Negroes (names or numbers)who served the Confederacy listed.
To full understand the role of Black Confederates in the Confederate Military, read the laws passed by the Confederate Congress "Organization of the Confederate Military" http://negrosingrey.southernheritageadvancementpreservationeducation.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_

We are constantly updating the information; I do not claim the website to be complete.
