I think you are equally right. I think societal class has as much to do with the result as race. Richer African Americans may or may not have shown more interest in volunteering than their poorer counterpart. This roughly translates across all ethnicities.Scouser Crispin wrote: ↑16 May 2022, 06:39 If it was willing,I think some would have, but not as many as those who joined when it was enforced conscription.
