How can you be a black person in support for the confederacy in any form!!! Please look deeper into how your people were treated!!!!

The economy of the Confederacy was based upon the enslavement of 38% of its population. It was inherently evil.

Any body that sheds blood is evil. YO 🤡 Even I clown know better.The confederacy is a vampire🧛🧛🐍🧛 blood shedding machine.Disguisting morbid ghost haunted battlefields. After what I just saw on that invisible battlefield, I think I'm about to get sick.

If they would have won, this WHOLE country would have been full of slavery and world history just would have been entirely different. ALL the confederate states were slave states btw

Xavier Washington In most cases, your right. But there are always exceptions. So regardless, if some actually did fight, then let it be told. If this was not possible, then why did Robert E Lee, a non slavery owner, attempt to get the confederate government to authorize Blacks to fight? However by the time they finally agreed, the war was almost over. If it was true history, then let it be told. It doesn’t change the facts that today all Americans deserve equality and that we need to make that a reality and thus someday hopefully that too will become recorded in history!

You're right about that.

Some of them were already using the sir name of the owner of the plantation on whitch they were born.. Somtimes the census man would ask them the name of there former owners and put that down. Most couldn't read or Wright (some masters actually educated there slave children especially if the children were biologically related to them but that was not supper common). Its a complicated time in history that should never be forgotten. we should all be proud that we live in the only civilization (western civilization) to abolish slavery in history. One of my 3x greats grandmothers was a former slave who ecaped up to canada and married one of my 3xgreats grandfathers who was half native and half white (metis).

That family was horrible and we should have change the name, but documents were in that name and you needed documents.

@@mackmckinney5206 Not always. Many shared the winters and especially the spring of 1865, together. Just barely surviving.

@@justacentrist4147 you are incorrect when you said we are the only civilizations to abolish slavery the British abolished slavery 80 years or so before America did.

Sir: the enslaved men who this site claimed fought gloriously to preserve the institution of human bondage were not free men. They were considered property. The proof is in the records of men who applied for disability from their perspective state. "ALL" request for disability by the former slaves (black men) were denied. The official explanation was "at the time of service they were considered property of private individuals not legally registered by the state they applied in.

@@xavierwash98 my understanding of history on this particular topic conflicts with yours greatly but what you asserted about blacks being limited to logistical tasks rather than combat roles underscores the necessary roles of most people in the armed forces, roles that pave the way for the combat troops to effectively carry out their directive. When I was in the Corps there were 10 POG(persons other than grunts) Marines for every infantryman like myself. If those guys were out of the picture the grunts wouldn't have a leg to stand on. All that being said the supporting Mos's are absolutely critical for the infrastructure of the military, don't get me wrong the slaves were given the worst shit details which was wrong as hell but by underscoring the importance of their roles in service I think you do a disservice to those who were instrumental in providing the necessary infrastructure for keeping the war effort viable and inadvertently downplaying the role and importance of the support troops of this day; an army can't march on bread alone. Our nation has not treated our black brothers well at all through the years but maybe we can remedy that.

@@redman0324 By the end of the U.S. Civil War, there were approximately 180,000 Black Americans serving in Union uniform. This represented about 10 percent of Lincoln’s army. While a good number of these men were citizens of the North, it’s been estimated that about half were former slaves who had fled the Confederacy to take up arms against their former oppressors. These so-called “colored soldiers” have often been credited with helping to turn the tide of the war in favor of the Union. Yet astonishingly, not all blacks that took part in the War Between the States fought for the North. Black Americans were involved in the Confederate war effort too. The overwhelming majority of them were slaves and as such had no choice but to accompany their masters on campaign. Yet a minute number were free men. While, most black Confederates served as stewards, cooks, stable hands or laborers, there is some evidence that at least a few carried rifles and might have even served in battle, either as willing volunteers or as pressed men. But determining just how many Black Americans actually fought for the Rebellion has touched off a war of sorts in its own right. Those who believe that scores of Black Americans did indeed fight for the South consider it evidence that there was more to the Rebel cause than the defense of slavery. It’s an argument that (rightly or wrongly) absolves the Confederacy of what many consider to be its racist heritage.

auci warns of disturbing trend as Trump ignores viral surge Analysis by Stephen Collinson, CNN Updated 1 hour ago Jun 24, 2020 (CNN) - President Donald Trump's top health advisers say that the coronavirus pandemic has driven America to its knees amid a disturbing surge in cases. But Trump is ignoring the new danger, instead using the worst domestic crisis in decades as a racist punchline. Political mismanagement of the situation, the glaring lack of a national strategy and the nation's exhausting, inconclusive struggle with the coronavirus was reflected Tuesday in three key developments. Fully half of US states are now seeing rising cases of the disease with the situation especially acute in Texas, Florida and Arizona, which embraced aggressive reopening programs. The European Union, which has been more successful than the US in suppressing Covid-19, warned it might bar visitors from America in what would be a major embarrassment for Trump. And the President persisted with his counter-logical argument that the US is only seeing more cases of the virus because it is doing more testing, leaving the implication that it would be better if rising cases, infections and ultimately deaths were simply ignored. Trump spent the day in Arizona and held a rally in Phoenix, a city where mask wearing is mandatory in public. But he refused to don a face covering, along with many supporters who attended his indoor event. And he delighted his fans by reciting a racist name for the virus referencing its origin in China. "Kung flu?" Trump said, prompting roars from his crowd. It was a different story in Washington as the government's top infectious diseases specialist, Dr. Anthony Fauci, made what is becoming an increasingly rare public appearance in an official capacity in a hearing on Capitol Hill and warned -- contrary to Trump's assurances that the disease is "fading" and "dying out" -- that "we're now seeing a disturbing surge of infections." Fauci, who has consistently expressed concern at the wave of aggressive economic openings championed by the President, warned that the next couple of weeks "are going to be critical in our ability to address those surges that we're seeing in Florida, in Texas, in Arizona, and in other states. They're not the only ones that are having a difficulty." Increasing cases of the virus, which do not represent the "second wave" medical experts have long feared but more a broadening of the first wave that crashed onto coastal cities and urban areas, are beginning to frame up a daunting question for state and national political leaders: will the situation get so bad that a return to more restrictive and even stay at home measures will need to be considered? Such a step -- by mostly Republican state governors, some of whom have pledged there will be no return to lockdowns -- would cause a huge confrontation with the President, who sees a rapid economic resurgence as vital to his hopes of winning a second term. States like Arizona, Texas and Florida are moving in the wrong direction, and there are increasing warnings that if they remain on their current course that hospitals could be overwhelmed in weeks and months to come, leaving leaders with agonizing choices of whether to reverse openings or to somehow surge medical capacity to deal with an increasing death toll. Texas recorded a new single day record of 5,489 new infections. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, a key Trump ally, warned Monday that daily positive cases, hospitalizations, and the positivity rate were all spiking in the Lone Star State and could require serious action. "If we were to experience another doubling of those numbers over the next month, that would mean that we are in an urgent situation where tougher actions will be required to make sure that we do contain the spread of Covid-19," he said. But Lina Hidalgo, a judge in Harris County that includes the city of Houston, warned that authorities didn't have a month to wait. "We are in the second highest level of threat, of concern," Hidalgo told CNN's John King on Tuesday. "And if these things continue, and I am looking at it on a day-to-day basis, we would have to go to red at which point my recommendation would be for everybody to stay home again." Nation on 'its knees' The hope of everyone was the states that reopened first would find a way to do so without triggering a surge in new cases and therefore begin to mitigate the terrible economic cost and knock-on psychological effects of lockdowns. But some 25 states are now seeing new infections rising, while the situation is steady in 12 and down in 13. It is dispiriting that the picture seems to get a little worse by the day. States like Michigan and California, which has already experienced painful months, have seen their curves begin to rise again. And while states like New York and the Washington metropolitan areas begin to emerge from lockdowns, the worsening data elsewhere offers daunting omens. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Robert Redfield told the same hearing that Fauci addressed on Tuesday, in a comment unlikely to please Trump, that the virus had "brought this nation to its knees." "We've all done the best that we can do to tackle this virus," Redfield said, pleading for more investment in the country's health infrastructure. Trump has responded to the latest flashing warnings signs with denial, anger, concern for his own political prospects and by continuing to hold the kind of events -- an indoor, rally style appearance in hard-hit Arizona on Tuesday -- that flout basic advice from his own government's top experts and could expose attendees to infections, serious illness or death and help further transmit infections. Trump took a jab at Fauci's approval ratings in a tweet on Tuesday, then insisted that he was not kidding over the weekend when he told supporters he had told staff to slow down coronavirus testing -- after senior aides had tried to explain away the comment as in jest. "I don't kid, let me just tell you, let me make it clear," Trump said before leaving for Arizona. "By having more tests, we have more cases," he added. Experts say testing is the key to tracking true incidence of the disease and breaking chains of infections. Fauci said that the US planned to test more people not fewer. And while Trump's claims that the US leads the world in gross numbers of tests produced, the total conducted over five months -- 22 million, according to Redfield -- is far short of what health experts say is necessary in per capita terms to defeat the virus. According to a Harvard University report, the US needs 5 million tests per day and 20 million would be required to fully mobilize the economy. By way of comparison with US capacity, the city of Beijing alone says it can now test 1 million people per day. Trump cofounds logic, own officials on testing The President also barely mentioned the coronavirus during his visit to Arizona on Tuesday, preferring to tout his border wall and set off a new culture war spat over the pulling down of statues of historic Americans tainted by racism. This despite the fact that the Grand Canyon state is recording daily record highs in terms of new coronavirus infections. While officials like Fauci are denied a White House platform and face criticism from Trump, officials with no medical expertise, like Larry Kudlow, director of the United States Economic Council, are free to go on television and make inaccurate assessments of the situation. "There are some hotspots. We're on it. We know how to deal with this stuff now," Kudlow told CNBC on Monday. The President's events meanwhile send exactly the wrong message on precautions like social distancing and the wearing of masks -- which are the only current tools to fight a virus for which there are few treatments, no current cure and no vaccine. "Here in the United States, as we're opening up we're seeing increases in cases, we're seeing once again hospitals getting overwhelmed," Dr. Richard Besser, former acting director of the CDC, told CNN's "New Day." "Hopefully we're improving in terms of our knowledge of how to treat people, and so that may lead to some better outcomes for some. And that's encouraging. But we have a long way to go, and we can't count on the virus toning down in terms of how it attacks." TM & © 2020 Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. A WarnerMedia Company. All Rights Reserved.re is

@Thomas Jefferson that came across. Dont know how that happened, was deleting some kind if glitch pop

It wasnt only about slavery there where other reasons, the North want you to believe that it was ONLY about slavery and nothing else. 1.How many cotton plantations have you seen in the north. 2. How many tabacco plantations have you seen in the North. 3. Any Rice plantations or corn beans, squash and how about Indigo all of these are only grown in the south and where all cash crops. 4. States Rught vs. Federal Rights. 5. And yes the big one that all you Yankees keep harken on Slavery

Much of the commemoration of the Confederacy found in many public spaces, including statues, names of streets, and schools, were a deliberate result of the political ascendency of white supremacy in post-Civil War and post-Reconstruction South. Most of them were symbolic weapons of racial war waged by the white elites in the Jim Crow era to reassert white domination over blacks in Southern society. For instance, there was a hike in public schools named after prominent figures of the Confederacy during the Civil Rights era in the 1950s and 60s, primarily as a response to Brown v. Board of Education. A similar hike was seen in the construction of new statues when the NAACP was established. It is also a way to reinforce a farcical historical narrative that the secession and the Confederacy had nothing to do with slavery. They are inherently political symbols with a specific political agenda from a very savage period in Southern history. You can’t simply pass that off to say that it’s just ‘a part of our history’. It is, but it’s not a part of history that you can promote as it has been done without the baggage of a toxic ideology that would simply be unacceptable in this day and age.

The men who fought under the confederate flag renounced their citizenship in the united states, were enemies of the United States declared war upon the United States and the men and women they killed both civilian and military, were citizens of the Untied States. Regardless of anything else you know, believe, or wish to be true, these facts are indisputable. Pride in losing a war for the enslavement of human beings. Pride in a flag that was founded on slavery and white supremacy. Pride in traitors who was fighting to perpetuate a horrific violation of human rights. Pride in historical figures who has been much mythologized mostly by white men from the South to the ongoing detriment of people who aren’t white. You cannot separate the Confederacy from its economic foundation of slavery. The Confederates committed treason for the sole purpose of continuing the enslavement of millions of men, women, and children, and they lost the war they instigated for that purpose. The southern region has the lowest education and economic growth of any part of the United States. It's not an implication that the South is behind, it IS behind. The South is a dying region gasping for air in a world that's left it behind. The confederacy is a representation of a group of traitors who failed to advance with the times. You lose. The traitor statues are going to be removed. Your way of life is dead. And if you find your self on the same side of the Klan, then perhaps you might be part of the problem. Move out the way so the rest of us can advance. And again if you think the KKK doesn't hinder development, you ARE a part of the problem.

Well if that's the case then the Confederates clearly violated the honours of war many times. Lets go over the war crimes the confederates committed shall we. 1. Champ Ferguson at Saltville: Ferguson was a Confederate guerrilla possessed of the same raging hatred of the Union as Silas Gordon, and led various posses of armed Confederate sympathizers, and sometimes soldiers, in ambushes and murderous raids throughout middle and eastern Tennessee. He is notorious for acting with marked cruelty and targeting anyone, even women and children, whom he felt crossed him or supported the North.He is said to have cut the heads off 80-year-old men and rolled them down hills into towns. He was arrested within 3 months of returning home to Nashville after hearing news of Lincoln’s assassination, and was tried and hanged on 20 October 1865 for 53 counts of murder. He had personally knifed and shot unarmed civilians for their support of the abolitionist cause. His actions after the First Battle of Saltville, Virginia were specifically cited, in which he and his men invaded a Union field hospital and shot and stabbed to death over two dozen soldiers of the 5th U. S. Colored Cavalry regiment, including white officers. 2. Shelton Laurel Massacre: In January of 1863, at the height of the war, Lieutenant Colonel James Keith was dispatched with the 64th North Carolina Regiment to the town of Marshall, in Madison County, on the border with Tennessee. A posse of pro-Union civilians had broken into the home of Colonel Lawrence Allen, looted and destroyed much of it, then broke into a storehouse for salt and stolen what they could carry, then blew it up with gunpowder kegs.Keith was enraged and, with the 64th, he searched the Shelton Laurel Valley, found and fought with them, shot down 12, and captured about 7. He then tracked down these men’s family homes and tortured their mothers, sisters, wives, and daughters by breaking their fingers until they revealed the locations of about 8 more Union sympathizers. Keith arrested these men and marched the 15 of them for Tennessee, but two escaped into a steep ravine.Keith deliberately disobeyed the order of the North Carolina Governor, Zebulon Vance, to hold the prisoners until they could be tried, and had them all executed by firing squad and thrown in a ditch. Keith was given 2 years in prison for this before escaping. He was never seen again. 3. Centralia Massacre: At about 9:00 in the morning, on 27 September 1864, William “Bloody Bill” Anderson and a force of 80 guerrillas, including Jesse James, rode into Centralia, Missouri to rip up the North Nissouri Railroad. Anderson decided against this and instead, they stopped an arriving train and looted it and its 125 passengers, of whom 23 were Union soldiers. Anderson ordered the train evacuated, the 23 soldiers lined up and stripped, and then asked which of them were officers. Only one man stepped forth, but instead of killing him Anderson’s men shot down the other 22, then scalped, skinned, and dismembered them.This officer, Sergeant Thomas Goodman, escaped around noon. Some three hours later, 155 Union mounted infantry armed with single-shot muzzle-loading muskets arrived in town, heard of Anderson’s action, and attacked him from the rear. Anderson’s men were armed with up to 4 revolvers each, most stolen over the years, and routed the infantry within 3 minutes of engaging them. Anderson survived to be killed in a battle in October of that year. 4. Massacre of Fort Pillow: Fort Pillow was a Union stronghold on the Tennessee banks of the Mississippi River, near Henning, and on 12 April 1864, it was besieged by up to 2,500 cavalrymen under General Nathan Bedford Forrest, who would later become the first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. Forrest easily took control of the high ground around the fort and demanded it be surrendered. The commander refused and Forrest’s men assaulted and overwhelmed the defenders. Many of them were shot down as they fled into the river.Both sides of the war reported that after the fort’s surviving garrison, most of it comprised of black soldiers and civilian workers, surrendered and was disarmed, the Confederates swarmed upon them and bayoneted, knifed, and clubbed some 250 men to death in an orgy of sadism. Over two dozen were castrated and lynched. Forrest always maintained that this massacre was a fair fight because the defenders were armed to the very end. 5. Lawrence Massacre: Captain William Clarke Quantrill led a raid into Lawrence, Kansas on 21 August 1863. Lawrence was a hotbed of anti-slavery sentiment and Quantrill was a fervent pro-slavery Confederate guerrilla, who had effectively enlisted into the Army under General Sterling Price, but deserted to form his own band of soldiers. There was little law in the Kansas Territory, and Quantrill’s Raiders are known for more than one infraction of it.Quantrill was especially out to kill James Lane, but Lane escaped into a cornfield. The Raiders descended from Mount Oread into town at about 5:00 in the morning and burned down every business and municipal building. Homes were spared torching but the families were driven outside and the husbands, fathers, and son all shot dead on their porches, in the streets, even in their beds. The women were raped, some of them and some children shot down or trampled while they fled. At least 185 men and boys as young as 11 were executed merely for being able-bodied. 6. Camp Sumter: Camp Sumter was a Confederate Prisoner-of-War Camp for Union soldiers, today a historic site located in Andersonville, Georgia, from which the prison derives its more well known name. Its conditions were little known from its opening in February 1864 until it was liberated in May 1865, one month after Lincoln was assassinated. When the mistreatment of prisoners came to light, the entire nation and even Europe were disgusted and dumbfounded by the photographs of horrifically emaciated prisoners who somehow found the strength to survive.The prison covered 25 and a half acres east of Andersonville, and was nothing but a bare patch of land surrounded by woods and fenced in twice. The outer fence was a log palisade 1,620 feet by 779 feet, with two entrances in the west wall leading into town. 19 feet in from this palisade stood an inner fence of chest-high posts topped with single crossbeams. This was nicknamed the dead line. Anyone who tried to cross it for the outer palisade, or even touched it, was shot without warning.Inside the camp, there were only eight small buildings that could house a total of about 100 men. The prison held 45,000 by the end of the war. Most were given tents in which to sit or sleep, but the Georgia summer was overwhelming. 13,000 of those men died within 7 months of summer incarceration from sunstroke, starvation, or disease. The entire prison population suffered from a hookworm epidemic, causing most of them to defecate bloody diarrhea filled with worms.The prison was very poorly supplied with food and medical provisions, and when Dr. Joseph Jones was assigned to investigate, he vomited twice during the one hour he toured the camp, and contracted a severe case of the flu which he warded off with oranges. He then asked the commandant, Henry Wirz, why Wirz was not suffering from scurvy, which was rampant throughout the camp. Wirz replied that he ate apples and oranges. “And the prisoners?” Jones asked. Wirz shrugged and said, “What about them?” Prisoners were able to pull out their own teeth with their fingers because of vitamin C deficiency. 3,000 died per month, or 100 per day.They had no clean drinking water, but were forced to drink from the same creek running through the camp’s center in which they bathed and which caught about half of all liquid and solid waste. Wirz was tried, court-martialed, and hanged for murder on 10 November 1865, the only Confederate officer to be so executed. His primary defense in court was that the prison’s food and water never arrived by train. When he was hanged, his neck did not break, and he strangled to death for 9 minutes. 7. Great Hanging at Gainesville: The Great Hanging at Gainesville was the execution by hanging of forty-one suspected Unionists in Gainesville, Texas, in October 1862 during the American Civil War. Two additional suspects were shot by Confederate troops while trying to escape. Some 150-200 men were captured and arrested by state Confederate troops in and near Cooke County at a time when numerous citizens of North Texas were opposed to the new law on conscription. Many suspects were tried by a "Citizens' Court" organized by a Confederate officer. It made up its own rules for conviction and had no status under state law. Although only 11% of county households owned slaves, seven of the 12 men on the jury were slaveholders, determined to suppress dissent. The suspects were executed one or two at a time. After several men had been convicted and executed, mob pressure built against remaining suspects. The jury gave the mob fourteen names and these men were lynched without trial. After having been acquitted, another nineteen men were returned to court and convicted, with no new evidence; they were hanged, all largely because of mob pressure. Most of the victims were residents of Cooke County. In total, this is claimed to be the largest mass hanging in the history of the United States.

8. Battle of the Crater: In later stages of the battle, many Union casualties were black soldiers killed by Confederate bayonets and musket fire even after they had surrendered. Confederates had received similar treatment from Union troops after the mine explosion- When the fourth division advanced on July 30, the thin line of Confederate defenders clearly heard the blacks shouting at the top of their voices, "No quarter to the Rebels! No quarter to the Rebels!" and the blacks proceeded to butcher every man they found alive in the works. These actions violated the rules of war of the time (the Lieber Code). Black soldiers were also bayoneted by white Union soldiers, who feared reprisal from victorious Confederate troops. 9. Massacre of Blunt's column: Moving out on to the prairie, Quantrill's column then happened to encounter a Union detachment escorting Maj. Gen. James G. Blunt, who was moving his command headquarters south from Fort Scott, Kansas to Fort Smith, Arkansas. Quantrill's men greatly outnumbered the Union forces. Wearing Federal uniforms and thereby taking the Federals by surprise, Quantrill's column killed most of the detachment, including many who attempted to surrender.Among the dead was a military band, Maj. Henry Z. Curtis (son of Maj. Gen. Samuel R. Curtis), and Johnny Fry (first official westbound rider of the Pony Express), a total of 103 men. Also killed was James R. O'Neill, an artist-correspondent for Leslie's Weekly. When a few men escaped to Fort Baxter, soldiers went out to find Blunt and survivors; there were few. After the massacre of Blunt's troops Quantrill sent a demand ordering Pond to surrender the fort. Pond refused the surrender. Bloody Bill wanted to attack the fort again, but Quantrill refused and the guerrillas left for Texas. 10. The looting and burning of Chambersburg Pa. by Confederate troops. During the Gettysburg campaign, Confederate troops restrained themselves from destroying non-government property. By the Rebels' next raid into the North, however, the policy had changed. On July 30, 1864, Brigadier General John McCausland and 2,800 Confederate cavalrymen entered Chambersburg and demanded $100,000 in gold or $500,000 in greenbacks. The residents of Chambersburg failed to raise the ransom, and McCausland ordered his men to burn the town. Flames destroyed more than 500 structures leaving more than 2,000 homeless. One resident died of smoke inhalation. Damage was estimated at more than $1.6 million. To make matters worse, many inebriated Confederate soldiers looted homes and abused civilians. Mobs of angry townspeople looking for retribution killed several Rebels. One officer, Colonel William Peters, staunchly refused to take part in the burning. McCausland had him placed under arrest. Chambersburg was the only Northern town the Confederates destroyed. The attack inspired a national aid campaign and spurred the Union Army to the aggressive approach that finally won the war. 11. The impressment of free northern blacks in to slavery during Lee's 1863 campaign. In June 1863, when Brig. Gen. Albert Jenkins' cavalry, in the vanguard of the Confederate army, galloped into Pennsylvania, its aim wasn't only to spy and steal supplies. The soldiers were also determined, as historian Margaret Creighton notes, to round up African-Americans, whom the Confederates regarded as "contraband" that should be returned to "rightful" owners. The "slave hunt," as contemporaries and later historians called this phase of the Confederate invasion, would last as long as Gen. Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia remained in Pennsylvania. It ended only when the defeated Southern troops retreated back to Virginia after the Battle of Gettysburg. Estimates vary as to how many blacks were caught in the Confederate dragnet during the Gettysburg campaign. But the figure at more than 1,000 especially if it includes those seized in Winchester, Va., Martinsburg, W.Va., and Rockville, Md. 12. Black Union soldiers suffered extra violence at the hands of Confederate soldiers, who singled them out for mistreatment. They were often the victims of battlefield massacres and atrocities at the hands of the Confederates, most notably at Fort Pillow in Tennessee and at the Battle of the Crater. They were at heightened risk for outright murder when captured by Confederate soldiers, as the Confederate Army announced its intention to kill black Union soldiers rather than take any prisoner. The prisoner exchange protocol broke down over the Confederacy's position on black prisoners of war. The Confederacy had passed a law stating that blacks captured in uniform would be tried as rebellious slave insurrectionists in civil courts a capital offense with automatic sentence of death. In practice, USCT soldiers were often murdered by Confederate troops without being taken to court. The law became a stumbling block for prisoner exchange, as the U.S. government in the Lieber Code objected to such discriminatory mistreatment of prisoners of war on basis of ethnicity. The Republican Party's platform of the 1864 presidential election also condemned the Confederacy's mistreatment of black U.S. soldiers. In response to such mistreatment, Ulysses S. Grant, in a letter to Confederate officer Richard Taylor, urged the Confederates to treat captured black U.S. soldiers humanely and professionally and not to murder them. He stated the U.S. government's official position, that black U.S. soldiers were sworn military men and not slaves, as the Confederacy asserted they were.

Xavier Washington All Were by guerrillas and after the Union committed war crimes

Xavier Washington Fort Pillow was not a war crime. The men defending the fort never surrendered and continued to fight until the end. A fact verified by witnesses

Xavier Washington Chambersburg was stopped by Confederate soldiers and the fires were put out by Confederate soldiers

Absolutely!!!!!

@@kenmcdaniel6913 Hatie,I been searching for you for years.Now it's time for you to come home to your plantation.You just have five more years of slave labor left. Your malado children miss you.Come home now.YO! 🤡🤡🤡Clown here to play. YO,YO,no YOoooo ........

Then you obviously missed his point, furthermore you do not understand how the world is, has been and will always be... Makes you glad Jesus will return one day and end it

​@@hissyhonker220 13:48 Spoken like a true devil. Jesus stood up to and resisted the devil. Not only are you for kowtowing to the devil, you wipe your hands clean of the matter and pass the buck to a third party. Evidently that is how Your world works. Thanks but no thanks.

What is it not accurate about? Barbary slave trade was real, Germany and Japanese where told hate their own country because of propaganda. I’m told my ancestors benifited from slavery while mine where actually farmers working their lands not knowing what was happening past the horizon. What he said was the truth, i’m European. German-Dutch. The USA did one of the worst crimes against the European people, which was the abolishment of our culture. Every European can agree with this, left winger/socialist, Nationalist/Conservatives. Liberal/centre. You are not a confederate, you are a selfhating person denying actually history you can look up. There where black slave owners in America, there was a white slave trade in Europa done by Barbary pirates and the Ottomans/Turkic tribes. There is a culture war on Germany and Japan after ww2, the formost reason that there is a giant turkish minority group in Germany is thanks to the USA. Which was essentially forced by the USA so Germany would become a cheap factory for the USA. Germany and Japan got destroyed by this propaganda and the scar is killing their country, the birth rates are lower than ever. Scared to admit their history, forced to follow others like a dog on a leash.
