Anyone have a statistic on the percentage of the 500,000-600,000 men killed  
in the War of Northern Invasion who were black?

J.  South,

If there were massacred at the Crater, that would indeed be  significant. I 
don't suppose you consider it significant that a majority  of Washington's 
troops in the early battles were black freemen and slaves?  It makes you feel 
better to think it was mostly white farmers who fought  for your freedom from 
England. But, I for one, want to hear the whole  story, not the white-washed 
version for the namby-ambles.

PC aside,  let the truth be told.
