Another lie, many of them were free men. Less than 1% owned slaves. And they fought along side of others and were paid. None of my ancestors owned slaves in America, you must be trying to protect your own.

The 1% owned 4 million slaves. Something to be proud of.

My family isn't even from the South. No black man ever served in a combat role. They were slaves, not free men who served as servants to the officers who owned them.

There were slaves in the North too. The southern people didn't own the slave ships either. We know they served in combat roles and we had one Native American over one troop. You are full of it.

I am a grandmother, my parents, grandparents and their parents were all born here. Some little site where they can edit History is not going to change the truth. In 20 years they will be saying we promoted adoration, and saying we wanted meds to change children's sex if the tide turns. I don't think we have much longer but they always accuse others of what they do.

It doesn't matter where they were born. History is facts.

Anywhere between 6,000 and 10,000 enslaved people supported in various capacities Lee’s army in the summer of 1863. Many of them labored as cooks, butchers, blacksmiths and hospital attendants, and thousands of enslaved men accompanied Confederate officers as their camp slaves, or body servants. These men performed a wide range of roles for their owners, including cooking, cleaning, foraging and sending messages to families back home. Slave owners remained convinced that these men would remain fiercely loyal even in the face of opportunities to escape, but this conviction would be tested throughout the Gettysburg campaign.

Bait? Believe it or don't.

"Not that bad." Slavery had no redeeming qualities.

I hope you're kidding. Slavery never went away. It just has different labels put on it. These days it is "globalization." I have an interesting cartoon on that point. Too bad the large image wasn't the Statue of Liberty rather than the Eiffel tower

Look at the children these leftist parade around clapping saying their 4 year old girl is a boy. Going to give her hormone blockers. they are so brave and love children. No their parents are evil just like the ones who brought these people over and they didn't see them as humans. I can't go save these kids that are being mutilated and scared for life because it's not against the law here. No more than they could save the slaves. They at least tried to buy them and set them free, the ones who could.

When I was young going to Charleston SC, my aunt had to get her treatments for breast cancer there. I watched around 20 black people bring small confederate flags, crosses and flowers to their love ones graves who fought under that flag. I don't really care what people think and am not ashamed of the flag my ancestors fought under.

Me neither. My people fought on both sides

Where was this? I spent yesterday in the lake Okeechobee area. I saw a lot of confederate flags there. FJB flags too.
