Republicans in South Carolina want to honor black Confederate soldiers. There's just one...

Only if they state that fact why these people fought "for" the confederacy.

I've read the article. It ignores the state records that I refer to. I'll leave you to ponder why that is.

MSgt Steve Sweeney Not championing a "modern black Confederate narrative." Just asking questions and pointing out facts. I'm familiar with the article you cite. That still doesn't undo the fact that Black American Men were held as POWs. Not my call, nor yours. Black American Men were awarded pensions for their service. Again, that decision belongs to another time. The same American Men that made decisions to serve or to grant pensions also chose to bind the wounds and heal our country. I don't think we should undo or negate their choices, or view those choices through a modern lens. That isn't history. That, in my opinion, is the true "modern black Confederate narrative." I reject it.

Maj William W. 'Bill' Price - The narrative certainly matters. The existence of such pensions only acknowledges that black people fought for the south. However, it appears they did so under bondage as slaves and were awarded pensions after they were free due to the South’s loss. So if a monument wants to acknowledge black people being forced to fight and die for the South much like child soldiers in Sudan, great. If the monument wants to show how free black people flocked to the cause of the South, we don’t really have any evidence of that.

Happy New Year, MSgt Michael Bischoff. Good to hear from you.

Maj William W. 'Bill' Price - Happy New Year , Hope all is well.

MSgt Kurt S. - They "jews" as the slave s did not fight to preserve a way of life they did it to preserve their own.
These slave only knew one thing aand a way of life and were afraid of the change that would happen. How many thousands of stories like this can you find, such a sweet relationship between master and slave. They now call it "Stockholm Syndrme".
