I can't see that, unlike the Jews there simply wouldn't be enough Blacks with any sort of education to make it into the leadership. A signifigant percentage of Poor Whites should have gotten at least a high school education by the time the revolution broke out. The average Black revolutionary would be an escaped field hand.
There WERE some educated blacks - there's the bridge builder, who even did a magnificent staircase in IIRC an Alabama courthouse. In the war he was drafted into ship building, but he was clearly an educated man, just about able to run his own business due to his expertise.
