In Response To: Hey Joe----- ()

I've just returned from the Camp Wildcat battlefield. I went there in July (just stumbled across it, so I didn't have time to explore it). Zollicoffer Confederates were all TN Regiments except for the 15th Mississippi. The Union side was composed of a couple of Ohio Regiments, one from Indiana and various Kentucky outfits and the 1st and 2nd TN Infantry USA. There plenty of soldiers from the TN outfits, CSA and USA who were cousins and even some brothers fought on both sides and there is one report of a father and son on opposing sides.

I stood where Union soldiers repulsed the 15th Mississippi and other rebel forces. Whatever these men were fighting for...cousin against cousin, brother against brother or father against son it wasn't the Negro.

As for me, I wouldn't fight my brother or father but there are some cousins I would have tangled with. :-).
It amazes me how black groups label anyone who doesn't agree with them racist and don't get called on it.
Cump.
