5. Today in History: On this date in 1865, with the main Rebel armies facing long odds against larger Union armies, the Confederacy reluctantly approved the use of black troops. The idea of enlisting blacks had been debated for some time. Arming slaves was essentially a way of setting them free, since they could not be sent back to plantations after they had fought. They did not begin to balance out the nearly 200,000 blacks who fought for the Union. (Source: history.com.)
