I recall going to the Museum of the Confederacy (across the street from the WAAAAY worth it D-Day Museum), and in a very discrete corner, they mention that, in the early days of Secession, a number of Freedmen came to the various recruitment offices, asking to join up. In their eyes, they weren't going to let those damn Yankees push them around. The commanding officer of New Orleans very politely stated, "No," and let the matter drop. Which is everything you need to know about slavery being the root cause of the civil war.
