Did black confederate soldiers exist? Yes
Was the motivation of many to defend their homeland from the invasion and inevitable plundering? Yes
Can such people be called "passive"? No
Does this therefore not fit with the criteria of non-passive black characters? Yes
...
My point is obviously not that such characters should be written in, but rather that the author needs to be honest with what he wants: People with black skin espousing what he *believes* is both morally right and an accurate narrative of the time.

They did not want the southern states to leave. Built up ground forces. Eventually goaded the initiation of conflict through aggressive placement of warships. etc.
Step back for a moment, do you think any material violence would have happened if Lincoln had given the thumbs up to the Confederacy becoming independent? Lincoln refused to allow a peaceful withdrawal and everybody knew if conflict did start, the union would look to march deep into the South to quell any attempts to secede with utter brutality.
The facts also bear this out, 400K Southerns killed, shitloads of civilians, massive number of rapes, entire towns burned, etc.

"there was little indication that even if the Union side did win that the 40 year old farm slave would actually be freed"
lol.
http://www.civil-war.net/pages/mississippi_declaration.asp
"Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery - the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product, which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the Union, whose principles had been subverted to work out our ruin."

You know when Palin talked about how if Obama is elected and passes Obamacare you would see death panels? This is the same thing. All Miss is doing here is painting the starkest picture possible for white slaveowners in order to get them to buy-into the secession. Fear tactics 101.
Again, look at what actually happened, how free was the 30 year old slave post Civil war?
A slave would rightfully have no confidence that they would be freed if the Union won. Moreover, they also knew that in the process of winning, the Union would plunder and kill innocents in the south.

"This is the same thing."
Except it's the exact opposite of what you claimed. You said there was "little reason" to think slavery would be abolished, but in fact the southern states claimed that was the primary reason they were seceding.
So there's your Sarah Palin moment - Mississippi screaming at the top of its lungs that the institution of slavery was under attack. I hope this clarifies things for you.
"look at what actually happened"
What actually happened was slavery was abolished.

Eventually, sure, but there was little evidence to suggest it would actually happen. And, in effect, slavery continued to exist, it just took the forms of shitty sharecropping.
The 30 yo black dood post civil war probably had his daughter raped, a cousin get killed and was starving due to the totally economic ravaging of the south. All these outcomes were fairly easily predictable at the onset of the conflict in the event the Union won. My point is that it is therefore totally reasonable for that 30yo who can make this reasonable prediction to aid (in whatever way possible) in the fight against the union, even if there is some faint glimmer that the institution of slavery may, potentially, end.

"is it worth the certainty that if the Union wins they will raze and rape?"
Most slaves seemed to think so, since they overwhelmingly supported the union.
Maybe it had something to do with the fact that southern slave owners routinely raped and killed slaves.

Reasons to support union:
1) Potential End of slavery in the country
2) Chance to run away during the conflict
3) Revenge against slaveowners
Reason to support confederacy:
1) Union army, if it wins, will most likely rape and pillage which exposes myself and my family.
2) Lincoln policies stand to devastate the economy and therefore myself
3) Developed bond and loyalty to my southern community
I can see people concluding for either option because both have strong underlying reasons.

"Maybe he was captured during a tribal conflict and sold to Europeans?"
The transatlantic slave trade ended long before the Civil War.
"Maybe he heard descriptions from other people?"
Descriptions of what exactly? The crimean war?

This is fucking retarded. Maybe he saw what happened to the loser in a brawl who continued to be beaten and kicked after already losing the fight?
I am not having further discussion with you about how a slave could be expected to understand what happens to losers in a conflict.

"its own" as in the landmass covered by southern states.
Let me simplify for you:
Union win: Town in Georgia pillaged
Confed win: Town in Georgia left alone

Again, the question is not about the existence about such an event, but rather the frequency/likelihood. I doubt actual numbers exist, but the assesment would look like:
Chance I get raped as a slave in the confederacy: 2%/year
Chance I get raped if the union wins: 50%
From that you can understand why, even when slaves were raped normally, they could still not want the union to win.

All we can show is aggregates when it comes to data. That tells us little about a specific individuals choice.
Data that would support ex post conclusion of slaves being better off under union control: Eventual freedom from slavery
Data that would support ex post conclusion of slaves being beter off under southern control: 100K civilian deaths, Sherman's march, etc.
Who the fuck knows exactly what a specific individual knew ex ante. I can guess in general about their perspective on abolish chances, etc, but it would just be guesses.

Author: Cow goes Moo
If the author does not like "passive" black characters, maybe instead of expected Spielberg to diverge further from history, the movie could actually show blacks and their roles during that time. For example, the script could build in a couple of black Confederacy fighters talking about how they joined in order to defend their homeland from the invading union. But I guess that does not fit with the shitlib narrative so better to just makeup black roles that do fit.

What a laughable fucking criticism. Is she really suggesting the movie should have featured scenes where Lincoln wanders the ghetto talking to random black dudes? And that Spielberg somehow should have known about such stories because they are contained on the black oral narrative?
ROFL at this white professor from Northwestern. ROFL.

The myth of blacks fighting for the Confederacy is obviously bullshit. Forget if blacks were dumb enough to fight for their own enslavement, but do you really think slave owners would allow blacks to fight alongside them as equals? Sure, blacks could have been forced to aid the war effort because they were slaves, but how many free blacks were in the South?
