Nice dodge...
In Response To: Re: Not Americans? ()

You brought this up not me...

"American by the United States Congress and other departments of the National Government is because those bodies also hold that the Confederate States was never a sovereign, foreign nation."

Then why recognize them as American soldiers and sailors if they didn't fight for a legitimate government? Why treat them as prisoners of war? Why give them a parole? Why allow monuments to them on federal land? Why allow their generals commands after the war? Why name federal ships and installations after their victories and heros?

Oh I forgot their not Americans.
