Finally!!! There are admittedly far too few who have taken the time and have the whit to properly study the Civil War and it's causes and participants. I have been re-ennacting at living history events for over fifteen years and we do try to get it right. There are even three black men in our unit that participate in roles that are taken from personal diaries and letters of their ancestors who were on one side or the other. It's never an issue with us if we are galvanised into a confederate outfit or into a Union one although it does seem that there are almost always more rebs than yanks. The fact is that there were many black people on both sides in the war and their story isn't told often enough.

Kudos to you all - our ancestors, of either side, need to be remembered honestly and proudly.
