Of course he wants to believe that AA freed themselves, instead of white people, so that he can rid himself of his inferiority complex towards whites. The only way to do so is to grossly exaggerate the relative contribution of AA compared to white Americans. The actual numbers are 2,489,836 white soldiers. 178,975 African American soldiers. But in addition, it was primarily white Americans who made up the effort to free black slaves, including those not on the battlefield. If white people were mainly responsible for freeing AA, then it makes AA seem incapable of freeing theselves and that they have always been dependent on white people for pretty much everything. So, if history makes you feel bad, no problem. Change history.
