🇺🇸 **The Cornerstone of Robert E. Lee’s Army: Confederate Slaves at Gettysburg**
"_Notice that Fremantle was never confused about the legal status of these men. He never classified them as soldiers nor does he ever mention anyone else in the army who did so. What he does do is capture why the Confederacy never approved the recruiting of Black men as soldiers until defeat was staring them in the face._"
