In Response To: Re: Arming the Slaves ()

"George posted information about the bill Davis and Lee begged congress for and yet askes me for proof davis and lee wanted more men. He posts that davis and lee were disappointed that the bill didn't offer Emancipation, and then demands I prove the southern congress chose defeat over Emancipation."

True to form aren't you? Twisting that I am supposed to have said. I never said any such thing. You statement was to some degree the CSA leadership refused to arm the slaves because they were fighting to preserve slavery. I never said they chose defeat over emancipation and even posted a reference to back up my point, That same reference clearly shows they fought for and got the right to offer emancipation-- from the very congress you claim chose defeat.

Couple of quotes for you, I am sure with your education you have alraedy heard these but for those readers who have not --

I don't want to call it a conspiracy to ignore the role of blacks both above and below the Mason-Dixon line, but it was definitely a tendency that began around 1910." Ed Bearess

During my research, I came across instances where black men stated they were soldiers, but you can plainly see where 'soldier' is crossed out and 'body servant' inserted, or 'teamster' on pension applications." Historian, Erwin L. Jordan

"When you eliminate the black Confederate soldier, you've eliminated the history of the South." Dr. Leonard Haynes

And last but not least--
I had to look this up I had not idea who said it just that I have heard it many times--

"Every man should endeavor to understand the meaning of subjugation before it is too late...It means the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy; that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers; will learn from Northern school books their version of the war; will be impressed by the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors, and our maimed veterans as fit objects for derision..."Maj. Gen Patrick R. Cleburne, CSA January, 1864"
