520 |a In addition to tracking the evolution of the black Confederate myth, this book explores the roles that African Americans performed in the army with a particular focus on the relationship between officers and their personal body servants or camp slaves. In contrast to claims that these men served as soldiers in racially integrated regiments, the author demonstrates that regardless of the dangers faced in camp, on the march and on the battlefield their legal status remained unchanged. Even long after the guns fell silent, Confederate veterans and other writers remembered these men as former slaves and not as soldiers. The author offers an important reminder that how the war is remembered often runs counter to history. --  |c Provided by publisher.
