I knew a 94 year old black man who's grandfather was one of those Black Confederates. He remembered well the stories about the "old days" told to him by his Grandfather. He had them memorized; so it was almost like hearing his grandfather tell it.
One day we discussed the sad condition the US has fallen into. He told me that the same people who destroyed the country in 1865 were still in control today. Who? I asked. "Those damn yankees", he replied, "Those nawthern bankers and industialists. They want all us folks to be their slaves"
"The time for war has not yet come, but it will come and that soon, and when it does come, my advice is to draw the sword and throw away the scabbard." Gen. T.J. Jackson, March 1861
