http://www.suffolknewsherald.com/2012/11/29/descendant-of-black-confederate-receives-award/ now this is another example of truth that the last civil war, was not related to slavery as much thought. it appears someones after the war have tainted and twisted history a bit to there new world liking, as it is written to collage school students in books now .
Skeeter town was a slave owning town, what he called home and fought for wanted to enslave him. In those times though, it was acceptable to think that way.
but it appears he was a landowner at the time sounds free to me. http://www.petersburgexpress.com/Boone.html http://www.calebstriumph.com/black_confederates/black_confederates.html
Good for her. And I'm going to tell you something now. I'm in a college level class for my US history class. We learn about a lot of causes. For instance in my last class we had to do an assignment on the Nullification crisis of 1832, if I'm correct on the date. Heck, we've gone to the origins of the theory of nullification with the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions. But we've also learned about the role of slavery, and even the beginings of the racist theory in America.
but most blacks and liberals can't see past there large emotional area in there brains that see symbols as a overly meaningfully recognition and that processes ,that is on a one track view only, in there right hemisphere mind. as you see there stuck in that right hemisphere below and there attach to the much in the limbic system brain area http://www.healing-arts.org/n-r-limbic.htm http://www.viewzone.com/bicam.html
Black soldiers and their officers were also in grave danger if they were captured in battle. Confederate President Jefferson Davis called the Emancipation Proclamation the most execrable measure in the history of guilty man and promised that black prisoners of war would be enslaved or executed on the spot. By the time the war ended in 1865, about 180,000 black men had served as soldiers in the U.S. Army. This was about 10 percent of the total Union fighting force. Mostabout 90,000were former (or contraband) slaves from the Confederate states. About half of the rest were from the loyal border states, and the rest were free blacks from the North. Forty thousand black soldiers died in the war: 10,000 in battle and 30,000 from illness or infection http://www.history.com/topics/african-american-soldiers-in-the-civil-war Imagine- there was a free black who served on the Confederate side. Imagine that.
It might surprise some of you to know that one of the very first large slave holders in America was black. I'll see if I can dig up his name but he came with the Spanish and set up shop in Florida. This was before the Slave Trade actually even took off. This was in the late 16th Century.
i found it , it took me 2 minutes of surfing blame that slowness on my dyslectic ability LOL! http://slaverebellion.org/index.php?page=the-black-slave-owners
Yea I know about him but there were also a few before him. Of course this was when slavery was more just indentured servitude but it was still slavery. Its also important to remember that the first person shot in the revolution was a free black man named Crispus Attucks. In Boston I believe it was.
Trucker, Thank you for the excellent post. I have been waiting for the proper opportunity to share this, so with that in mind, I highly recommend reading this book: "Black Southerners in Gray", by Arthur W. Bergeron Jr. (Author), Thomas Y. Cartwright (Author), Ervin L. Jordan (Author), Rudolph Young (Author), Andrew Chandler Battaile (Author), Richard Rollins (Editor). It is available through Amazon, I highly recommend this book. It is a book the left will not want you to read. Enjoy.
The Rebel generals weren't opposed to using blacks in the army. They wanted at least 200,000. The Rebel politicians were against it because they didn't want that many blacks with guns getting used to killing white people. They also didn't like the idea that they would owe blacks for making their treason successful. And they didn't think that their black troops would freely resume the yoke of slavery if the South won due to their efforts. It was basically the same thinking shown in WWII by the US military leaders. They didn't like the idea of blacks killing whites even if they were Nazis. Reb General Nathan B. Forrest had a personal squad of black soldiers. He later formed the KKK. The Rebs had several black units. The North didn't mind using black troops because they expected most of them to get killed off as cannon fodder. Plus they didn't expect for them to remain in the country after the war anyway.
You really need to stop posting while drunk. This is embarrassingly incoherent and illiterate, even for you.
You do know that slavery was legal in the United States not only throughout the war but even after it ended.
