They are more than welcome to establish a monument for Blacks that served under the Confederate flag as slaves, servants, and forced indoctrination but as long as it's at a museum, historical site, or battlefield and it tells the truth. It's not like volunteer Blacks/freed slaves that served in the Union Army was treated fairly, equally, and with respect either; nor were welcomed with open arms by most Union leaders. What matters is the history taught with the monument being based on actual facts.

Only if they state that fact why these people fought "for" the confederacy.

You can't help fix stupid when the states own legislatures tries right a history that never happened. Sure slave fought but not for South Carolina.
Remember also most the "slaves" that fought were not paid the money went to their "owners" for the use of the slaves.
Sometimes they even volunteered so they would be fed and clothed.

MSgt Kurt S. - They "jews" as the slave s did not fight to preserve a way of life they did it to preserve their own.
These slave only knew one thing aand a way of life and were afraid of the change that would happen. How many thousands of stories like this can you find, such a sweet relationship between master and slave. They now call it "Stockholm Syndrme".

MSgt Kurt S. - No! They were not. They were slaves forced to serve while their owners received their pay. That's not "for real".
