After the War, when some years had passed, Biloxi, Mississippi's, Beauvoir which was owned by a lady who was a friend of Confederate Veterans, had many additional buildings built behind it to be used as an old soldier's home. Jeff Davis was allowed to bring his family into Beauvoir to live and a detached study where he wrote his memoirs. In the 1950s the last Confederate veteran to live in the home was a Black soldier.
@@ar-1571 Pleasant Riggs Crump Last documented death of a veteran at Beauvoir that I can find was in 1941, Newman A. Maxwell but there were others after that including wives, two of which were still living when the home shut down. At the time the roster was made, there were still Confederate veterans alive there.
Blacks fought for the British and the American colonist during the Revolutionary War. The British was first to offer freedom for Blacks, then came along Washington and the First Rhode Island Regiment a while later.
I can't remember the name of the Black Soldiers in Massachusetts that saved the Revolution. Also.the First man shot at the Boston Massacre was Crispus Attucks. He was part black and Native American. He actually was the first person killed in the Revolution. God bless this man for speaking out for Black Confederates. He is right after the Civil War the North sent their teachers to.the South as soon as the war was over to reeducate the Southern children in the Schools. If you know anything about MLK he told you that Jim Crow Laws came from the North. Good to see intellectually honest.

You have written a very long pack of lies... Jim Crow laws were established well after the southern states elected Confederate traitors back into state and local offices.
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.
Blacks never fought for the confederacy. Camp laborers and trench digging under the threat of the whip or worse simply doesn't count as “fighting" alongside the rebels. No southern general in their right mind would issue out guns to a company of blacks, much less an entire regiment. Hundreds of enslaved men fighting under the command of a handful of white rebel officers when the other side has long given word that union armies would free them, what could possibly go wrong?

This myth about black rebel soldiers seeing action exists only in the minds of lost causers looking for any bizarre excuse to make the rebel cause about things other than the preservation of slavery.
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! Cheers buddy!🙂🙂👍🙂🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
@@xavierwash98 if black people had not been trained to use firearms then only an idiot fueled by racism would suggest that man for battle. You claim there was threat of whip but that's just not sustainable because we have diaries from whites and blacks that disagree with you. So please spend your time spreading lies online, thats a very wise way for one as simple as you to spend their futile life.
There was a freed slave in Vicksburg after the war who killed an occupying Yankee for badmouthing the now free man's previous master. He was tried and found not guilty. That kind of loyalty doesn't come from hatred.
@@mastermonarch actually it was in a civil war museum... but your cognitive dissonance is equally as strong as it is telling as to your inane stupidity. Your ilk are grotesque and unfit for civilized society.

Slaves were promised freedom in exchange for enlisting in the Royal Marines in the War of 1812, then disarmed and sold back into slavery in the British Caribbean after the war.
Never heard that probably inst true as slavery was outlawed in Britian by 1812 they convienced the French to stop trading by cannon bombing their largest slave trading city
It was so much better when we taught our kids to be color blind. I was one of those kids, and I live in TX. My ancestors owned a damn cotton farm. And I was always taught to treat everyone with kindness and respect, no matter what they looked like. All this attention to race is just making things worse. And tearing statues down or changing the race of a freaking Disney character damn sure isn't going to fix racism
One thing that has always bothered me: when a slave who had made it through to be free, had to choose a last name; why did many choose the name of the family they had been owned by if that family was horrible?
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).
@@mackmckinney5206 Not always. Many shared the winters and especially the spring of 1865, together. Just barely surviving. Melatonin levels of skin meant very little, when a group was eating acorn paste, and willow bark tea to survive. You wish to see real hatred? Look to the North, and the carpet baggers that came South. Look up some ordinances, of the 'big jobs here' northern industrial cities. You will see the true beginnings of the ghettos.

Very sound words, people today don’t understand their history. They just believe everything in the movies and on the news but don’t read about what actually happened in the past etc Today all these horrible hate groups are spreading evil and adopt flags and symbols that don’t represent hate at all, but because they are seen with them that’s what people see them as now. Tearing down all the monuments is disgusting in my eyes, that’s your history and those people died fighting for their homes etc, very sad times
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.

@@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.
I especially liked the comment about Blacks supporting the American cause during our Revolutionary war. I have never heard that before. The idea of Stonewall Jackson teaching Blacks how to read and write in a day when that was illegal magnifies Jackson's persona as a great American. The North had slaves too even if they didn't call them that. If you owe your soul to the company store then those people little more than slaves. I am especially concerned about the politicians digging up Confederate soldier's graves and then saying, "look at what we have done to help the Black race (so vote for us)." I fear that this is coming so thank you Mr. Newson for your thoughts and actions. Bottom line, STOP HATING THE SOUTH! Apparently the war did not end when Lee surrendered to Grant but is still going on. As a Texan whose Great-grandfather lost four brothers who fought for the Confederacy, I think that the honor of their memory should be left intact. 90% of the people in the South did not own slaves. They lived at a time when people were more loyal to their state than their nation and they fought to protect their home state from an invading army. Finally, we all know that slavery was an immoral and abhorrent institution that needed to be abolished but that is not the issue so thank you, Sir, for your words and your stand.
Germany and Japan lost their culture? They have an agenda?(who's they?) What do the white slaves of the Barbary coast in the early 19th century have to do with black Southerners during the war between 1861-65? And finally, black Southerners joining the Navy and militia and working as drummers and servants for "the devil you do know" doesn't change the fact that the Confederacy was formed to preserve and expand African slavery, and they mentioned slavery in the Confederate constitution more times than taxes, tariffs, the Army, Navy, and militia, and non-human forms of property.
As a kid I saw a cartoon where a brown bear was wearing a Confederate cap while leading a group of animals such as a white dog and a raccoon marching in time to the Civil War Abolitionist song "Kingdom Coming,Year of Jubilee".This bear was probably a black Confederate freed by Abraham Lincoln.🤑🤡🤣🤣🤣😅😅🦅🤑😎🌴
Came across this video while looking up videos about the confederates that fled to Brazil. The civil war isn’t as cut and dry as we make it out to be today. Yes it was about slavery and slavery was wrong, but there’s a lot about it that we don’t talk about.
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
It was against the law for free blacks to fight in the confederate army. This guy’s character, with all due respect, did not exist until the end of the war.
It is ironic that he only recounts the recorded narrative from the majority perspective while saying the victors of wars tell the history. He identified the problem and then promoted it. The role of Aboriginal Indians, the Asiatic Indians, Moorish Europeans, Caucasian Europeans have to be included for the history to be close to accurate.
🤡🐰As a kid I saw a Bugs Bunny cartoon where a southern colonel with a southern accent kept saying "Sir" to bugs bunny as he outsmarted this colonel even pretending to be a smart slave making a fool out of this colonel.This cartoon had me crying with laughter.😭😭😂😂🤣🤣😅😅😄😂🤣🤣🤣

I do not get why they want to remove the Confederate flag when the United States flag is what the KKK carried more than anything so which flag is more racist I say it's the American flag
6:21 Anthony Johnson is an exception to the rule and therefore irrelevant. Moreover, records have it that Black so-called slaveholders had purchased the freedom of relatives.
This guy is very confused. And I had ancestors that served in the Confederate army. Armed black men would've went against every thing the southern soldier was fighting for. The only black Confederates were servants and they weren't expected to fight.
Honours of War 1. The honours were traditionally granted to an enemy that had put up a good fight. A vanquished force can be allowed to march out with “drums beating and colours flying” and thence to be returned to their country their pride intact. 2. No targeting civilians Intentionally targeting civilians, buildings such as schools or houses and infrastructure like water sources or sanitation facilities is a war crime. Killing or injuring a person who has surrendered or is no longer able to fight is also prohibited, as is punishing someone for an act that another person, even a family member, has committed. Attacks should only be directed at military objectives, and military targets such as bases and stockpiles should not be placed in or near populated areas. If the expected "incidental civilian damage" of an attack is "excessive and disproportionate" to the anticipated military gain, then the attack legally cannot be carried out. 3. No torture or inhumane treatment of detainees Torture and other forms of cruel, degrading or ill treatment are expressly prohibited. The lives, rights and dignity of detainees should be preserved. They must be given food and water, protected from violence and allowed to communicate with their families. 4. No attacking hospitals and aid workers The wounded and sick always have a right to be cared for, regardless of which side of the conflict they're on. Medical and aid workers who are on duty in these areas make an effort to be neutral and serve both sides of the conflict. They must, therefore, be protected by all warring parties and allowed access to collect and care for the wounded and sick. 5. Provide safe passage for civilians to flee Parties to a conflict must take all reasonable steps to evacuate civilians from areas where there is fighting. In the heat of conflict, such steps can take the form of advanced warnings or the creation of "safe corridors" for civilians to leave a besieged city and for humanitarian workers to deliver aid and services. Civilians must never be blocked from fleeing. 6. Provide access to humanitarian organizations Civilians and militants who are no longer fighting in the conflict have a right to receive the help they need, whether it's medical care, food, water or shelter. This means that restricting the delivery of humanitarian aid - through naval and air blockades, closing ports or confiscating supplies - is prohibited. In fact, deliberately causing starvation and hunger is a war crime. 7. No unnecessary or excessive loss and suffering The tactics and weapons used in war must be proportionate and necessary to achieve a definitive military objective. The use of weapons that are "by nature indiscriminate," according to the Geneva Conventions, is prohibited. For example, the use of land mines, while not banned, is limited because they can indiscriminately kill and maim both combatants and civilians.
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 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
I'm a descendent of a slave owner and nearly all confederate soldiers and I don/t know why the world was that way but I'm not going to judge either. The perfect union is all Americans made in gods image regardless of color, we are all brothers we need to stop the tribalism and love one another.
#danecalloway WE BEEN HERE 🪶WE WERE NEVER SALVES WE ARE INDIGENOUS! We fought against them Europeans , my 7th great grandpa was n confederate he Catawba . Learn the truth not the bullcrap click the first hashtag #️⃣
On behalf of reenactors who put our all into reading primary sources, behave as true scholars and not conspiracy-thumping revisionists like Sons/Daughters of the Confederacy, and actually go to school to learn history so we can teach the public, I would like to say: We do not claim him.
I actually agree with you on one thing. That is that tearing down monuments is divisive. I would much prefer building monuments around those monuments telling the full story. The problem with The monuments is that they were built or put up to commemorate Confederate soldiers absent the story of their slaves. This was to promote pride in the descendants of the Confederate soldiers and as an instrument to put down the Black folk in the south. There were tools of oppression and terror to control the black population and to create and maintain solidarity in the white southern population. I really do think that you should read the secession documents by the states who are seceding from the Union and I think that you should also read the speech given by the vice President of the Confederacy where he explains why the war was fought. I also think that you should consider the broader African situation in the Americas from the North Pole to the South Pole. Often times when these colonial places would go into war with other colonial places or with their colonial rulers she can Independence from Argentina to the United States the African-American people men were offered Freedom if they fought except for in the United States in the southern states. There was a great distinction between the white supremacy in other parts of the Americas and the white supremacy of the United States of America in the 1860s. I think that you should really examine that history I think you should really examine why the afro-american people may have in some cases supported southern cause because they may have assumed that what was offered to them in other countries or colonies would happen in the South as well but by and large the African-Americans of the South were used in the capacity of body servants and army engineers earthworks all kinds of capacities other than holding a weapon. I don't think it was for Southern pride and for loyalty I do think it is because they hoped that they would be freed for their labor for their efforts and for their parent loyalty.
He disqualified himself at 6:00 when he proposed that fighting for the devil you know is better than fighting for the devil you don't know, for (the d-)evil is the victor in any case.
@@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.
