I wanted to dampen some of the myth of "American Civil War." The first myth is used on the Confederate flag during the civil war. A special flag was used as a flag of war, nicknamed "The Southern Cross". Many see this option as a form of racism, but racism was not old. This flag is, unfortunately, many hate groups, but the origins of this flag has been adapted represented strength and courage, and utilized in any form or fashion, was tolove the South for racism.
The "Southern Cross" shows the cross of St. Andrew, who was crucified. Through a large degree of Scots of Irish descent in the South during this time that Cross was recognized as such. The stars represented the eleven states within the federal government, plus Kentucky and Missouri. General PGT Beaurigard proposal to use this flag to the "Battle Flag" of the Federal Government. The flag of "Stars and Stripes" has been used as a battle flag of the Confederacy.It 'was, in fact, no flags in the uniform of the Confederate States used, and then lift the myth that the "Southern Cross flag was the" main. The South has not had the strength of the North, the flags were sometimes none, in fact, Com, south of flags WAS as close as possible, but with limited resources, non-uniformity of the flags were used.
Another myth about this war that started because of slavery. This is completely false. The civil war was fought for recessionstates. I would also add that it was not the only part of the Southern United States to use slaves. There were plantation slaves rebel slaves in the north as overturning the notion that slavery was a "Southern Thing". In 1641 Massachusetts became the first colony to recognize slavery by law. There was also a ship that sailed from Boston, four years later, embarking on a trip to Africa to stop slave trade in England. In late 1700, tens of thousandsThousands of Africans were living as slaves in the north.
I do not deny the fact that slavery was more widespread in the south, but has fought for the people of upstate to the end of slavery in this time is ridiculous, since they had slaves. Slavery began in the north. The South had "Cotton Pickers" was the north, which means "cotton spinner" marked man this job titles were slaves.
A great book I would suggest all must be read in connection with this problemcalled "Complicity: How the North promoted, prolonged, and benefited from slavery." This book was written by Anne Farrow, Joel Lang and Jennifer Frank Ballantine. This book is the discovery of 5,000 slaves in Connecticut one year prior to the Revolutionary War. Rhode Island sent nearly 50,000 slaves in less than twenty years, the area Plantation matched bets Narragansett plantations in areas of Virginia and the number of slaves.
Ivoryton was theBuild an international center for cutting teeth. Guess who has done work in this factory? " Enslaved Africans lead that forced the tusks for hundreds of miles to the coast so that they could be sent to Deep River Connecticut were. More information about this area include the abolition of capital punishment, the two tracks to support the mill, it is obvious they do not mix them with economic policy. Most abolutiionist from the Civil War era had to be hypocrites, the slaves, but still available on manySoapbox slavery and denounced this was hypocritical. by Benjamin Franklin, who once was a reserve then found, a slave owner. I would also encourage anyone to read "New York Burning" by Jill Lepore in this book reveals the truth about the fire in New York City in 1741. The fire was a slave rebellion and 30 slaves were executed.
Why do people think that slaves were not patriotic? Southern blacks as whites felt the patriotism of the South. Alsothey were not citizens, slaves still thought themseves as such. Yes, there are slaves that ran and joined the Northern Line, as they marched through the city in the south, but this is what they ran away. The north of these refugees as "contraband," the North was with not knowing whether to return to the fields or give them the weapons front, finally clarified and use the southern Black fugitives as messengers and spies. Southern blacks could not rely on refugeesfirst by the Union, were compared with the identification of traitors and treated as such. When you ran out of the south, that they would stop, because the north? This was the mentality of 'Union.
The civil war was not a war in which the North chosen because of a "mission" to free the slaves. It 'was a war for Democracy. The truth is that no white man / woman, freed slaves were freed to rebel against their masters in the south and north. Youactivities are made, the military pushed for their emancipation. Abraham Lincoln signs the "Emancipation Proclamation", but it was a useless document in the eyes of the south as the northern countries, who still owned slaves. What really freed the slaves had their own stubbornness and their desire to be free.
Black units were Southern. freemen and slaves formed these units. They were ready to blood for the defense, as they shedhome. A black soldier was quoted as saying: "Excuse me General, but only cowardly blood we have in our veins blood is white."
General Forest had slaves and free men in his unit of service. He said that these men who do not live with him and better Swiss. Stonewall Jackson blacks fully equipped 3,000 troops who fought with him at Antietam. There were 60.000 to 93.000 where blacks had to serve the federal government, in the hope of their future would be better that wayrewarded.
Why do people in connection with Abraham Lincoln as a saint for the slaves? Abraham Lincoln was quoted as saying: "I will say that I am not, not ever bring the advantage was in any way affect the social and political equality of white and black .... I'm in favor of the superior position assigned the white race. "
Where can I find out that slavery is wrong, no matter what kind of slave, is unfortunately in our history, our great nation. I would alsoIt is painfully obvious in the north was not free the slaves and our nation as a whole, should be ashamed of the enslavement of people. The North Africans enslaved and murdered the same as in the South with both sides are wrong. Please note these facts before entering one of slavery and the South and "Rampage flag," look you think of history, sitting in our backyard.
God Bless America, not only for the great nation where we, apart from the policy in any case,but for our diverse population, in which so generous, and reveals how you can get all the bad guys of past history and search for "good" to make history for generations to come.
