On September 1, 2011, Harvard Professor John Stauffer voiced his professional opinion about Black Confederates in the Harvard Gazette.   He stated, “Though no one knows for sure, the number of slaves who fought and labored for the South was modest. Blacks who shouldered arms for the Confederacy numbered more than 3,000 but fewer than 10,000 among the hundreds of thousands of whites who served. Black laborers for the cause numbered from 20,000 to 50,000.”
