Its time heros on both sides be recognized for their sacrifices for their country however they defined that term.

The Jubal Early chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy dedicated Confederate memorial markers to Creed Holland and two other black Confederate soldiers, also named Holland, from Franklin County.

Kudos to the UDC and the Hollands. A well deserved recognition for their service. And our thanks.

Robert Barbour is a true genleman and representative of evertyhing positive the SCV stands for.

I would love to see these kinds of things become more publicized and more frequent. The public, particularly blacks, who are being duped by the lies of the blaxk, racist left need to see that that is only a part of the story, and likely a much smaller part than they and their ilk would have us believe.

Confederate government required slaveowners to offer a certain percentage of their slaves to the war effort, possibly explaining the three Holland men's involvement in the war.

Yes, I think that would be a fair inference.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

An article in The Washington Times on June 15, 2002 mentioned the many blacks who were an integral portion of the Southern Confederate Army.

The article mentions that there were also Hispanics fighting for the Confedracy. But the largest minority group were Jews.

Linda Stanley of the Franklin County Historical Society said the Confederate government required slaveowners to offer a certain percentage of their slaves to the war effort, possibly explaining the three Holland men's involvement in the war.

According to federal pension records, Creed Holland worked as a teamster, hauling supplies for soldiers. Cornelius Holland worked under Jubal Early as a cook. Claiborne Holland performed breastwork, which involved erecting earthen walls from which soldiers protected themselves in battle.

I other words, they were still slaves doing what they were told.
