The Black Confederate
It is a startling sight to be driving around Asheville NC and to see a black man wearing a Confederate uniform, and waving a six foot Confederate battle flag.

Frankly I find the dude very interesting and plan to find out a wee bit more about him....Personally I might try and find a way to here him speak!!!
I known about the black soldiers for some time and a rumored freedom offered for all that joined up!!! I'd sure like to understand the thinking of those men... and why they decided to fight...0 -

The North invaded the South. Is it surprising that many blacks defended their homeland? Just like many Germans fought even though they weren't Nazis? 0 -

The English figured in prominently here, and the powers to be in the southern states depended upon them to join in the war on their side. The moral of the story here is that you can't trust the British. [:D] 0 -

No, but it sounds like it was translated from German or Russian. I'd guess Hitler, Goebbels, or Stalin. I could look it up but I wanted to guess first.0 -

Earl, those well-meaning dumb asses' decendents are here on this board.
Kimi, if my history book is correct, we ARE the British. [}:)]
Edit: I forgot the hyphen, darn it.
My Scotch-Irish lines do not claim to be British, and those with loyalists ties don't bring that part of their heritage up, nor do they admit any direct English ties. [8D] I wonder why? [:D]0 -

First guess is right. Lenin have said similar things before then, so did other leaders. It's very well demonstrated by the topic of this thread as well as content. Here's another great demonstration:
quote:
86% of the 2,300 former slaves that were interviewed in the 1930s had positive things to say about their masters and/or slavery.
I wasn't there, I simply don't know, but something tells me there're few more angles to this whole story than we know.0 -
The Forgotten Confederates
There were 285 black Tennesseans who applied for pensions after the war. The State of Tennessee honored these claims. The Federal government, however, would not acknowledge their service with the Confederacy.
"When you eliminate the black Confederate soldier, you've eliminated the history of the South." quoted from General Robert E. Lee, in 1864.
