also, the PUBLIC RECORDS at the US Archives indicate that MANY THOUSANDS of dixie's hero-martyrs were BLACK men.

their SERVICE RECORDS are there for anyone to see.

also MANY black men belonged to the United Confederate Veterans & were welcome participants in UCV activities as long as they lived. (do you REALLY believe that their white comrades-in-arms would have allowed a NON-veteran to join their camp, especially during the "jim crow" days????)

one of our SCV camp's members gr-grandfather was a black Confederate States Marshal and Confederate States Treasury Guard (read:Secret Service Agent);he was a LIFE MEMBER of the UCV. he was buried in the 1930s in Danville, VA in what up to that date was the largest funeral in Danville's history.

so much for the "myth of the black CSA veteran"!!!

Recently I was teaching the Thanksgiving story to my students. I told it from the Pilgim's perspective, and then on the internet I found a perspective written by a Algonquin Indian. He claimed that the Articles of Confederaton and the US Constitution were modeled after the tribal counsels as per Benjamin Franklin's recommendation, and that the Pilgims wouldn't have surivied had it not been for the Indians, etc. Many claims glorifying the superiority of the Indians.

Yet, it was interesting that Squanto although sold into slavery was rescued by Spanish Franciscan Priest and Squanto's friend John Weymouth paid for Squanto to return to America.

My conclusion was that there were heroes and villains within the European culture, just as many of the Native Americans practiced cannibalism and other such hideous practices as well as democracy.

Well, according to the articles I posted, that is exactly what they are-myths.

Now, being in the CSA as either an enforced laborer or as a volunteer in the supply corp is not the same as carrying a rifle-something the South feared above all things-armed black men.

So, how may regiments of Black troops did the South field?

I have heard of the Northern regiments but no Southern ones.

Oh, I know, the South was so racially advanced that they had intergrated units!

So how did the 'noble' South treat Northern Blacks they found in Union uniform?

Why they either shot them or put them into slavery.

Wasn't one of your great war heros, Bedford Forrest responsible for some massacre of the Black union troops?

Save you attempts at proving how noble and honorable you guys were, you fought for a degenerate and corrupt insititution.

And you are fortunate that your leaders were not hung for treason.

You guys lost-get over it!
