Civil War: Why were the slaves enlisted in the Confederate army one month before the Civil War ended?

Whites were extremely racist towards the slaves, and were fighting a war against the freedom of blacks.


Southerners did not want to enlist the help of the blacks whom they enslaved and viewed as properties.

Pre Civil War Analysis

The North had more political power than us. Their increasing power was threatening the institution of slavery.

If the abolition movement spreads, our economy would be ruined.

We were upset about Abraham Lincoln's election.

We decided to form our own country.

Reconstruction Analysis

All my friends were forced to free their slaves.

My friends and I were pardoned after 3 years of imprisonment by President Andrew Johnson.

Slaves gained full citizenship and are now able to vote. What a disgrace!

My fellow Southerns formed the Klu Klux Klan to combat the increasing power of blacks.
