while we honour ALL who served.

Yessir, we sure do! Dewd, I put together some links from related stories on FR since you seem interested in the subject. One of the more current links (and one of my favorites) is the story about the former slave named Chris Columbus who fought for the Confederacy. More and more stories are coming to light as black Americans research their heritage and find their forefathers fought for the South.

We honor all who served.

Post 375 includes links to some of our prior discussion about Black Confederates. There is substancial evidence that the Confederacy did have colored troops. Dismissal of this fact would indicate a biased scholar or revisionary. Most historians admit their presence, though there are still many "unturned stones."

The memories of threads long gone....
