ORIGINAL SOURCE

The great and abiding fear of the South was of slave revolt. . . . For many Southerners it was psychologically impossible to see a black man bearing arms as anything but an incipient slave uprising complete with arson, murder, pillage, and rapine. The South was haunted throughout the war by a deep and horrible fear that the North would send—or was sending—agitators among their slaves to incite them to insurrection. That no such barbarous scheme was resorted to by the Union is a credit to the humanity and good sense of the Lincoln administration, although it was urged enough by some radicals.

From Cornish, Dudley Taylor. The Sable Arm: Black Troops in the Union Army, 1861-1865. Lawrence: University Press of Kansas, 1987.
