We had a nice conversation and he was a nice gentleman. I am in the blue jeans, and white shirt. A good time was had by all... I found out later that the state government had 4 snipers watching us. We gave them no reason to execute us. I will be there next year and every year that I can! K.

You can find her on facebook. She is a historian and does a wonderful presentation on the subject of Black Confederates - both slaves and free men of color - and she's quite good at what she does. Also she has the best taste in hats of any Southern lady I have ever met. :) C.W.

A total Northern brainwashing crock where the 'expert' kept harping on the idea that blacks were all forced to fight for the Confederacy. A black man was wondering if his ancestor fought on the Confederate team and the biased genealogist involved conned him into believing that there was no way his ancestor wanted to fight for the South.<br /><br />With that sort of PC nonsense going on in a show like that it highlights the constant battle to get the truth out there and continue the Confederate Memorial Day tradition.<br /><br />C.W. if you know any black Confederates who could contact that misinformed black man and correct the misinformation it might help.Steve Gambonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09966177363147209946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5217213397958297920.post-54713790132307742372016-05-21T13:33:15.612-04:002016-05-21T13:33:15.612-04:00Over 18,000 names and that's just from South C...Over 18,000 names and that's just from South Carolina. Tough to fathom how bad it was for folks back then. The Taps facts and link bring home the 'brother against brother' aspect of that War. Before it was even over the soldiers on both sides drawn to the same mournful tune. Two sides battling... yet of the same united heart.<br /><br />Not that anyone down there is asking ceremony advice from a Yankee... Consider adding the US Oath of Allegiance to the words spoken. That oath is a likely target of the PC fascists and in need of preservation as well. Citizens new or old, North or South need a periodic reminder of what being a US citizen implies.<br /><br />The US Oath of Allegiance should really be a requirement when registering to vote but you can imagine the political war over that one.Steve Gambonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09966177363147209946noreply@blogger.com
