Who freed his slaves, then went to war for his state, and his nation!

In an earlier post you wrote that your ancestors never owned slaves. In this post you write that your g-g-g-g-grandfather freed his slaves before going to war....which is it?

The easist and fastest way to lose credibility is to contradict your own personal data.

My g-g-grandfather owned no slaves. He was a volunteer with the 54th Georgia, Army of Tennessee, June 1862 through 1864. During a brief visit home in mid-1864, Before he returned to combat, he warned his wife and three youngsters to take care, because "Sherman is now in Georgia."
