Would you make those arrangements for me?

tonka_truck,
The link below is for the slave narratives held @ The Library of Congress. If you read enough of the narratives, you can make your own arrangements and eat your own grits while you’re at it. I provided an excellent link earlier today. Sometimes if you read the links and follow them thru to different links you might learn something. For you see, I’ll post another link for you after while. It’s a link to Americans who take a dim view of thier black Confederate SOLDIER ancestors service being dismissed by other Americans.

And if you follow the below link you’ll find these words:
“In fact the very first memorial in the nation’s capitol to honor black Americans’ military service is the same Confederate Memorial, designed in 1914 by Moses Ezekiel, a Jewish Confederate.”
“A black confederate soldier (4th from left) marches in the same ranks with other confederates)”
And last, but not least, there is also historical record of who was considered a soldier. I’m sure you’ll be surprised to learn it includes more than just those who carried arms. I’ll provide that link after while too.
