Tucker Carlson just responded to the slavery reparations issue by saying "should the descendants if the 320,000 men who fought for the Union have to pay as well?"

I have no idea where he got that 320,000 number or if I just misheard it. But, leaving the reparations issue aside, it does betray Tucker's view of Noble White Men fighting to free the Poor Blacks. In truth, over 200,000 blacks fought for the Union side in the Civil War - about 10% of the troops.
