Not one whit of difference from what scores of Freepers say on any typical south bashing thread where my ancestors are deemed Nazis ....none. They just lack any authority unlike the Governor and his publicity stunt
CORRECT.
Fyi, our large extended family (who then resided in northern Alabama & Mississippi), which NEVER owned a single slave (other than the Irish lass, whom I mentioned in an earlier comment & who was an “indentured servant” until she married) sent off 28 “common soldiers”, from 14 to 41 years old, to serve The Cause of Southern Freedom.
All 28 family members enlisted as Privates. One became a COL of CSA Artillery by JAN 1865, one cousin received a “battlefield commission” as a 2LT of Infantry & was later promoted to CPT.
The rest remained Privates, as far as I can tell from their service records.
At war’s end, 12 of those CSA vets returned home, including one who was blinded “in the fighting near Atlanta” & 4 others who were “missing body parts”.
(Five of our family’s soldiers were murdered at DY prisons, while helpless POWs. 4 at Point Lookout & one at Camp Douglas.)

Murphy may not have the authority either.
Never mind his misstating of the history of New Jersey, besides.
Yeah I was wondering what Murphy’s yankeefa freeper handle might be. lol.
You know I can see a future for the National Union Party, the one that won the Presidency in 1864. Version 2020 could feature a Haley-Murphy ticket
