Lincoln Lovers have long ago used word games to hide the true history of the war. SLAVERY ENDED! Wait a second, what about apartheid after the war? Oh, that was reconstruction. I don't know anything about that. Weren't there Blacks that fought for the South, in the fields of battle and the plantations? Of course not! It's a myth!
The introduction of hatred of Blacks came from the North. To convince the gerneration that had been children during the war that Blacks were the enemy and establish the Democratic Party as sole ruler of the South, the Black Confederate, as well as the slaves that were raped by the North, and the slaves that fought the North on the plantations, had to be eliminated.
DO NOT LOOK AT THIS PICTURE! IT MUST NOT BE TRUE!
If we listen to yankees, these pics were photoshopped- A CENTURY BEFORE PHOTOSHOPPING EXISTED!
Dead Black Confederates at Petersburg
Before statues and stories were cleaned up to eliminate the Black soldier- one statue put one in!
What would these guys say to those who say they never existed?
They deny these comments were ever made:
"We are willing to aid Virginia's cause to the utmost of our ability. There is not an unwilling heart among us, not a hand but will tell in the work before us, and we promise unhesitating obedience to all orders that may be given us."
-- Charles Tinsley, Free Black, Pocahontas, Petersburg, Va.
"Realizing that many free Black households would be in want following the departure of their husbands on voluntary work, the Petersburg City Council voted family assistance funds for wives and children left behind. Such assistance continued for the length of the war."
-- Minutes of the Petersburg City Council April 23, 1861, office of the clerk of the City Council, City Hall, Petersburg, Virginia.
"A ladies group on Bollingbrook Street sewed a banner for the labor corps and in a ceremony held in front of the Petersburg Court House on the morning of their departure Attorney John Dodson, a former mayor, presented the flag to the men about to leave. Dodson promised the men that they would "...reap a rich reward of praise and merit from a thankful people. Charles Tinsley, a bricklayer, who spoke for the group, replied": We are willing to aid Virginia's cause to the utmost of our ability. There is not an unwilling heart among us, not a hand but will tell in the work before us, and we promise unhesitating obedience to all orders that may be given us." On April 25, 1861 over three hundred free Blacks, and a few slaves "volunteered" by their owners, left Petersburg by train for labor service on the fortifications of Norfolk with their own Confederate flag, and leader."
-- From Petersburg in the Civil War, War at the Door, William D. Henderson
