In 1865, nearly 10,000 freed slaves honored dead white soldiers
Thanks, Charles. Personally, I despise the Confederate flag; it's a symbol of ignorance.
David Blight, the historian, the very best on civil war stuff, confirms this in a lecture that is online.
Thanks. I'd be shocked if William Spivey hasn't written about it (he knows everything, lol), but I didn't try to find out.
Excellent work. Thanks. Always found it interesting the “holiday” was originally only honoring Union dead. As it should be IMO.
