With the official publication date for *Searching for Black Confederates* only three days away I wanted to highlight some of the books and their authors that informed my own interpretation. https://t.co/e6l9SynUKH

Dr Levin in this thread lists books & research he used in writing his book.
I have no doubt that we will be hearing alot of noise and bullpucky over the coming decade that slaves *wanted* to fight to remain slaves. The bibliography is a list of quality references. It's not likely we can override the whole white supremacist narrative, but learning the legit history and passing on reputable sources is important.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
