in the confederacy, the army was integrated

That depends on what you call "integrated". Press-ganging slaves and using them as cannon fodder without training or weapons is not what I call "integration".

in the confederacy, slaves were given freedom in exchange for military service and given the same benefits except no black officers but same amount of pay

Born and bred Southerner here. That's a plain lie. That never happened and you won't find a Neo-Confederate who will claim it did.

my family got here in 1877 from latvia

Then you should kneel to your szlachcianka, obnoxii.
