Hmmmm..... not necessarily what our kids are learning isn't it? I wish that Casey, Wimbush and Armstrong would be able to get a national audience one day ... but I won't hold my breath.

"But historical data shows that Blacks served in the Confederate army, whether as cooks or combatants, enslaved people or freemen."

I thought you said it wasn't true.

Stan Armstrong has found truth in the SCV, said the 43-year-old Las Vegas filmmaker and college instructor. Armstrong, who is Black, joined a SCV camp in Memphis, Tenn., in 1997 after learning that a white relative served in the Confederate Army.

When people tell him he’s being used, Armstrong retorts, “Read your history.”

“The Civil War is not as Black and white as one may make it,” Armstrong said.

Getting past the revisionist history of 'it was all about slavery' is the first step.

History is history, and it never serves a good purpose to brush anything under a rug.
The greatest part about this, is their rejection of political correctness. Sometimes people just want to learn more, it doesn't have to always be about taking sides.

Wow southern blacks fought against their country also...No surprise.

Is Keisha being cute or a little racist? As in the "Black"(s) and the "white"(s).

At Little Round Top a black marksman kept a company at bay for hours until the Yankees outflanked him and killed him. Yup, he was black. 5% of the Seventh Tennessee Cavalry, C.S.A. Companies D and F were black and rode and fought under Forrest. Gee, history is so precise.

What will the cultural deconstructionists do when they find out that Americans have discovered that our history is one part of the cultural glue that holds us altogether? My guess is there going to throw a conniption fit about it.

“It’s always been a part of my life,” said Winbush, a 74-year-old retired school administrator living in Kissimmee, Fla. “You got all these politically correct folks sweeping it under the rug like it didn’t happen.”

History is supposed to be an accurate record of what happened, first and foremost. It can also be other things, a celebration, a regret, but always in accord with the truth of what happened.

Those who would re-write history to suit their personal agenda are beneath contempt.
