What does the NAACP have against Confederate soldiers? There were quite a few high-ranked men who wore the gray whose views on slavery and race were more admirable than those of most Northerners (and in all probability, more sincere). After all, Yankees that were anti-slavery faced little direct opposition (most Northerners already had a dislike of the South), but for a resident of the South to speak against slavery demanded courage against the powerful (though small and in the minority) planters and hot-head seccesionists. Ah, but what does the NAACP care of knowing the truth.

You should read the article on the NAACP in a recent issue of National Review.
Very insightful - it may be on their website.
