Would the Confederacy have won the civil war if they armed African Americans? I read that about 40% of the population were slaves. The war was basically lost from the get go.
@Weaboo Kempeitai they did arm the slaves
Many slaves did fight
The cream of the crop did
Rarely.
i think they enlisted maybe 100k slaves
or 100k black free and slave
I don't think it woudl have helped
the union enlisted 180k blacks
and 20k extra in the navy
so 200k blacks in the union armed forces
compared to 100k in the confederates
i see black ppl
🤔
creole
Still, with a country with such a large slave population, the slaves themselves were vastly underutilised. They probably didn't arm them due to the understandable fear that they'd revolt.
There were slaves who served as body servants and cooks, and slaves who were forcibly enlisted into auxiliary roles, such as cleaning and reloading canons. I've read of very few documented cases of slaves actually armed and serving in combat roles.
yh
they only enlisted slaves as a last resort
they knew they wouldnt last long in the first stages of the war
they only got lucky
you realize the average iq of slaves were not quite high, they didn't pick them for their smarts
The Confederacy should've waited until industrialisation phased out slavery before seceding.
oh wow, you don't know much about this do you
sheeeeeeeeeeeeet
What?
you act like you know a lot about things you just learned
@Weaboo Kempeitai they seceeded because they feared lincoln would outlaw slavery regardless
it was state rights period .
slavery was being phased out
until the cotton gin was invented
i guess it could be argued about whether or not that was an idustrialized technology
but basically it made it economically viable to still use slave labor
