By listening to Lincoln and leaving their slave maters, they left the south without a lot of their labor force and some even joined the Union Army and served with great distinction. Don't remember many specific facts, but do remember that there was a mostly, African American for lack of a less racist sounding term, company at the battle of New Orleans who did a lot of good work.
