This is why I’ve never bothered to watch Ken Burns Civil War documentary tbh. It seems to have platformed Foote’s and the likes narrative of the War.

Nearly 180,000 Black men served in the Union Army. Another 19,000 in the Navy. Black soldiers accounted for roughly 10% of Union military deaths. A large portion of each were formerly enslaved.
I imagine they gave a damn about slavery.
