Redlegpete Says:

Mar 23, 2008 - Actually, that was General Jefferson C. Davis who cut the bridge at Ezra Creek. Sherman was miles away. Cutting the bridge in and of itself didn't cause those freed slaves to drown. Wheelers cavalry was charging in and that's when they tried to swim the creek and drown. Yeah, I have seen black confederate re-enactors. The black Union re-enactors I know think its ridiculous. There is one I have seen who is a black provost marshal. How farby is that?!

Redlegpete Says:

Mar 23, 2008 - I think its on the Tiger Band CD. The Tiger Band is with the 125th OVI. Its' a great CD with this and other great marches on it.

Mar 23, 2008 - Sure man, I'm in the Band that Plays this song, I could Email you this track.

chaloner Says:

Mar 23, 2008 - Its ashame that most people are uneducated about black confederate. They believe it never happened.

Redlegpete Says:

Mar 23, 2008 - Actually there were about 250 black confederates.They were drilling in Richmond at the time of its' fall. A death bed conversion if ever there was one because they were authoirzed about a month before the end of the war. How were they repaid by the people of the confederacy? By being jeered at by the Richmond civilians who hurled rocks and mud at them. The confederacy didn't even have the decency to offer them freedom in exchange for their service.

Mar 27, 2008 - Reancting should never take itself too seriously for me it was fun. I have heard of people pissing on buttons to make them look authentic waste of time if you ask me. DId any of those people march barefoot to the reanctment?The only fat people like myself in the union or the confederacy were some of the commanders.

Jun 8, 2008 - I'll Email it to you, this song is from my band's CD. I'm not playing onthis track however because the CD was made years ao, before I even started reenacting.

Jun 27, 2008 - Try a little more than 250. There were nearly 50,000 Black Confederates being trained in and around Richmond by War's end. And that's not counting others who served. In New Orleans, blacks were some of the first who offered their service but were ignored, and ended up fighting for the Union. It was a decision that would have helped, but came too late in my opinion.

Redlegpete Says:

Jul 2, 2008 - There is no record of that many blacks serving the confederacy in either army's records, and trust me, the Federal Army was meticulous in its' record keeping. The Army of the Cumberland which took in the most prisoners of any federal Army has no record of a single black confederate soldier being taken prisoner. Why is that? The number is about 250 regardless of how much you try to state otherwise. Grant, who took in all the rebel prisoners around Richmond also records no black prisoners

brainerdrebel Says:

Jul 26, 2008 - The War For Southern Independence was not fought over slavery. The Southern States fought to leave the Union. The Federals fought to force the Southern States back in the Union. Take a trip to Chickamauga Battlefield and you will find the records of blacks in the Confederacy, 90,000. Free Blacks owned slaves. What a great free country we have, the feds have to force a state that voluntarily joined the confederation to stay in the union.

Jul 28, 2008 - I didn't even mention any "causes" for the war, which tells me you have nothing batter to do that go about leaving "defensive" comments when their was no insult.

Aug 24, 2008 - I love reenacting but why are 85% of the reenactors obese?

FeildMusician123 Says:
