Many of the generals from both sides were able to be given a proper burial, especially if returned to their home town. Most of the soldiers killed were buried where they died.
Your partially correct Ken, the Union troops were re-interred in National Cemeteries following the war. The Confederate troops were thrown in burial trenches most of the time.
The Confederates lost 5 generals killed at the battle of Franklin near the end of the war. An era where generals fought shoulder to shoulder with their men...such dedication and bravery...truly a bygone era...rip all
Thank you so very much for capturing Brigadier General Barnard E. Bee. It should be mentioned that I am a direct descendant of this man who fought and died with valor to ensure a Confederate victory at 1st Manassas. General Bee first tagged General Thomas J. Jackson with the name 'Stonewall' at this same battle.

Too many Southern Heroes go thought of as traitors and evils when in fact they are some of the bravest and honorable men this country and world will ever breed. I have a tattoo of General Robert E Lee on my leg that I sport all the time! Sometimes people love it other times you'd be surprised as the ignorance of people who see and comment on it. (Esp because I live in Ohio, not the South) Nice video and choice of music. Jesse James was a Southern Hero in his own right.
The Civil War was because of slavery, not over it. Those who blame the South for slavery, have not read the United States Constitution. No need to bring Lee and Grant into the slavery arguments. They were simply instruments of war, not the politicians who created it. The institution of slavery, as permitted by Article 1 and Article 4 is what damn near tore this country apart. I stand of awe of Northern and Southern soldiers of that time period. Your video was very moving. Well done Sir!!!
It was,nt about slavery , Lincoln used that as an excuse to go to war against the south , who had all the cotton , tabacco , shipbuilding , it was a very rich nation which wanted to be independant , from the north , which had nothing but pararies , and wheat
There is no such thing as Article 1 Article 4 in the Constitution and nothing that prevented slavery at the time of the War Between the States. There was the 3/5ths clause stating that 3/5tha of all persons shall be utilized to determined representation in the House of Representatives. If course today's revisisioninsts like to State that slaves were only coy red as 3/5ths of a person. It's not what the Constitution said.
I dont know that much about the civil war, I'm not American - I'm Belgian, from the Flanders, not that far from the fields of uther distruction and the graveyards from WW I and WW II (including the graves of American and Canadian allied soldiers). To me, weather side they were, these young men gave their lifes, so we could live in a better world and live in peace, so I honor them equally, no matter the cause, no matter their beliefs, they died brave. Every year I go to their graves, and ask myself what would have become of them if they survived. Should they had children or more children, would they have lived happily ever after or plagued by their memories? I wonder... May the fallen rest in peace, the deeds of this brave men, who stood tall in battle, are not forgotten yet xxx

This past summer (2017), I visited a lot of Civil War battlefields. Antietam, Winchester, Chancellorsville, Fredericksburg, Cedar Mt., Manassas among others. Visited Stonewall Jackson's gravesite, where he was wounded and where his arm is buried. Also where Robert E. Lee is buried. I couldn't help but feel sadness for those who died on both sides. It was an American tragedy, but it made us into who we are today. I only hope their sacrifice was worth it.
They were heroes in every sense of the word. I live up in Illinois and I get many strange looks because I sing Southern songs to myself and that when asked about it I say that I would have supported Lee. Then I get the typical response that Lee supported slavery and all the other nonsense.
Let those idiots know Lee's father in law left slaves to him. Lee freed them. This was BEFORE the war. Gen. Grant, however, had slaves until the conclusion of the war, and that the Emancipation Proclamation did not apply to slaves held within the Union states.
Tell me about it. I have heard many say Lee supported slavery and all the other nonsense. I constantly sing Southern songs to myself. Back in school I got many strange looks because of it. (One student even said that I would be a future terrorist because it another called me a communist and others have said that I am racist and support slavery). Short-sighted if you ask me. Some people believe everything that they hear. It poisons their minds against some of the best Generals America ever had.
It is a very complicated issue or we wouldn't be arguing today about which side was right or wrong. One cannot compare that time period to this time period. There were racist's on both sides during that time, Abraham Lincoln, William Sherman, and Ulysses Grant to name a few. Therefore, one must look at what was lawful and unlawful during that time period. Men who did not own slaves wouldn't have fought for slavery no more than men who owned slaves (Grant) would have fought to free the slaves.
That is frankly white washing the issue. There is no doubt racists were thick on both side. America has always been extremely racist especially back then. The one big difference is that this flat out ignores the large amount of abolitionists in the North and ignores the fact the South seceded over Southern fears that the abolitionists in the North were going to end their institution of slavery. Lincoln fought to preserve the Union. The South seceded to preserve their institution of slavery. End of story. Any confusion is due to the lost cause movement and their attempt to white wash Confederate history. Even confederate soldiers knew they were fighting and dying for the rich plantation owners.

To acknowledge such truth would destroy the lies you attempt to perpetrate on those men, black and white. You wouldn't have the courage to stand before ANY of those men, if they were alive today, and vomit forth the profane allegations that drip from your throat today.
@@swirvinbirds1971 1. You are right. Grant was poor that time and he did not sell his only slave for money, he freed him! Both Lincoln and Grant married a southern girls whose families were slave owners, but neither Lincoln nor Grant had not slaves when the Civil War started. However (VERY FEW PEOPLE KNOW!) Stephen Douglas Lincoln's election counterpart from the Northern Democratic party had plantation with slaves in Mississippi. His first wife had plantation and slaves! It is right he did not live in Mississippi he lived in Illinois and his plantation was organized with plantation manager, but he was financialy in the Southern economy! 2. Interesting the most generals died in battle or after the battle in their wound, but the most dead soldiers (+civilians) died in contaginouse illnesses from viruses, bacteria, fungi or monocells as Malaria. The longer Civil War independently from the battles were deadly. The direct and indirect death was about 600 000 people but the after the died wounded veterans and higher violance coused death so the Civil War dead people counted about 750 000 untill 1870. It might be better, if the Civil War ended after Vicksburg and Gettysburg soon. Fewer dead people could have been! The unionist army started to use the modern arms in higher % only at the end of 1863........ 3. The soldiers who fought for Confederacy had some couses. Except for the slave owners: There were whose was familiar connection with slave owner families and they were not Lincoln or Grant. Next group people were who would not have liked such future that the slaves became same social group as they were as poor southern whites. There were who wanted to became slave owners........not general Grant. So the state rights were to maintain the slavery system and the pure state rights were a very minority opinion only after 1870 became self explanation for the confederacy supporters. Interesting the pro unionist areas where the Confederacy idea was not too popular. Very few areas were the slave population % were high. East Tennessee, West part of Tennessee river counties, Some counties in North Texas, West part of North Carolina, Northern Alabama, Northern Georgia, West Virginia, New Bern city in North Carolina and North West Arkansas. (smaller regions with unionists were in Florida, Mississippi and Lousiana), only South Carolina's white population were almost totaly beside Confederacy in every county! Very few counties were the slave population were high % and the majority of the county white people were unionists. I repeate again The shorter Civil War could gave MORE LIVING PEOPLE for the Southern part pf the USA and the Northern part of USA. I am very sorry for the all victims in the Civil War.
The institution of slavery as allowed in the Constitution during that time period, was a source of conflict and is what caused secession. Yes, the Union invading the C.S.A. is what forced the Confederates hand. As mentioned in the declarations of secession from Georgia, S. Carolina and Texeas, secession was over slavery. I agree with you that the war was over the right to secede. From a Constitutional point of view, I agree with the Souths position. But, slavery began the sequence of events
Why does no one care about the north's use of slavery. During the war, the north used child labor between the ages of 8 and 12 to fulfil 55% of it's industrial jobs. They don't matter because they were poor Irish "WHITE" children. White lives don't matter remember?
@@supermanbhc come on buddy don't try and defend the indefensible the south existed on a slave based economy that is wrong despite what the law was at the time. Just saying something was so doesn't make it so you need to show proof. I am not saying that its impossible for old abraham al but suspended the rule of law,but when you assert something not supported by evidence its nothing but here say. I commend your devotion to history but if you focus on just one side you end up with a biased view. The civil war was a very complex issue and I doubt that a single issue caused the war and the thought that a president with well documented racist views would start a war to free the slaves is ludicrous. I believe the war was about economic growth and the northern political and financial class wanted a subdued south and a larger federal government with more control and that they used slavery as an excuse for a war,maneuvering the south into fighting. I think it's a shame that the brave men who fought for the south are being treated to the woke epidemic such are the times. Slavery is the very worst expression of racism and indifference and despite what the true motives of the north were ending slavery was a good thing morally and practically it's just sad that hundreds of thousands of young men had to die in a war for it to happen regardless of motives.
The Constitution didn't 'allow' slavery. The Constitution resolved differences over what constituted Federal government powers and what constituted State government powers. The States had no interest whatsoever in giving up their soveriegn powers as independent states after their victory in the Revolutionary War. They also understood there were security benefits to agreeing to a Union of the 13 Colonies as as one nation. So this nation agreed to a system whereby the Federal government would have very limited powers such as raising those funds necessary "for the common defense." There was more to it that that. But any powers not specifically assigned to the Federal government were reserved to the States. This is the fact that today's internet alleged history cowboys refuse to recognize. After the War Between the States the Constitution subverted. Of course today, the Constitution is a noble piece of paper under glass at the National Archives.
General Armistead who fought and died at Gettysburg , was buried in Baltimore . They did not allow a marker on his grave . I am from the north and my family fought and fell at Gettysburg . He deserves a marker , as all Confederates were given a pardon for their involvement . Robert E. Lee was given one , but they never sent it to him . Their cause was wrong , slavery is not a States rights , but when forgiven , allow them to be properly buried . I saw A.P. Hill was reburied with full military Honors ! Gen. Handcock would have approved as Gen. Armistead was a close and dear friend . To the victors goes the spoils , to the vanquished , forgiveness and respect !
Make some videos on the Union generals that died please and some of their last words. It is only fitting. Please. I really like your videos by the way!
I attempted this very task, but found few pictures to go with their death sites. Don't blame me, ask the government why these guy's didn't get a proper marker at their death sites. I'm sure Uncle Sam can tell you why....
That gravestone of General Robert Garnett is actually that of his wife and child. Mr. Tim Kent, if you like, I can send you a current image of the General's site, which is right next to this one. My family and I have made several visits there. By the way, as research has gone along, many sites have been found. As these fallen technically fought for this country, they are entitled to a gravestone paid for by the government. This was never a problem before. But the previous presidential administration changed their rules and made it very difficult. Since a lot of these sites include those that fought for the CSA, they now require, or required (hopefully that changes) a family member or an individual appointed by law to make the request for a gravestone for a newly found site of a fallen soldier.
If you are from The South and don't get a strange feeling in your stomach and heart when you watch this video, you need to move up North... This music and the death of these Generals is HAUNTING, AND BORDERLINE SICKENING.
Such brave men on both sides, such a terrible war. It makes me wonder what sort of world it would be if Lincoln had let the Confederacy have their independence and all those men had lived.
If only he had adhered to what he stated in the 1840s about tyranny and the responsibility of men. I think he was an honorable man. I think he was a Christian man. I just don't think he fully appreciated the Constitution and the fact that this country still mostly held allegiance to one's State rather than the Union. It wasn't even 100 years since it took a lot of 'horse trading' to get the 13 Colonies on board with the Declaration of Independence. Less still when it was necessary to get delegates to agree to the Constitution. Those Constitutional Conventions ate what led to the 'Federalist' system of governance we have today. It was agreed the Central Federal government would have certain limited powers, the the State's would reserve certain rights not delegated to the Federal government. By the time of the War Between the States it was clear that States' rights had been eroded substantially.
Full General commands army's, lieutenant generals command a corp in an army or about a third of an army, major generals command divisions or about a third of a corps, and brigadier generals command brigades about a fourth or fifth of a division. sorry so long to reply.
A government , army , way of life defeated 150 years ago , and some still feel threatened. Get over yourselves and be about the business of 21 century life in America. Allow the Confederate and Union dead to rest in peace, they have earned it !
They've earned far more than we ever could! Agreed! Our ancestors will NOT be ignored as the PC grave destroyers would like. Those terms are unacceptable. Honorable men settled this in the years after the war until circa 1920. The nation then United. Some communist thugs decided to try to crap on the valor of some courageous Americans a couple years ago. Nope, not gonna happen. Your point is well taken. Take it up with them.
This is American history.. people want to forget it now or label it bad. These men were not bad. They just fought for the America they deemed right ...why do people want to condemn them today.
We, as Americans, can not forget, that these men turned their backs on the United States, took up arms against her, and created an alternative constitution that said it will never be illegal to own other human beings. After complete defeat, and almost total destruction, the United States allowed the followers of these men to return to the US if they behaved themselves, and accept the laws of the United States. Please do not make us regret that. If the confederacy would have fought against a less than noble nation, like Communist China, or the Soviet Union, all the people of the "South" may have been eliminated, and the ground salted. There may have been no talk of the "South", or any confederacy, in our history.
Nonsense from someone who hopefully will be forgotten. The north did all they could to kill and destroy. About all they didn't do was salt the Earth and I'm surprised they didn't. Your hate is noted but is not reciprocated, because I hated you before you ever thought of it. One thing I always remember is my hatred for the vile and disgusting Yankee race and all that it stands for.
Bee "there stands jackson like a stone wall" some historians (me among them) believe it was said as an insult since he refused to come to Bee's aid during the battle. The victors would have us believe it was NOT the bill of rights that took the confederacy into the war. I think some of us know it was denial of rights that caused the civil war. If those rights needed adjustments the founders gave us a way of doing it. (slavery amendment)
You conveniently left out the part where Bee told his men to ""RALLY behind the Virginians." Meaning Jackson, and there they held Henry Hill on the left flank of General Joseph Johnston's Confederate Army of the Shenandoah. Despite the loses of Gen Bee and Bartow later. Together they drove the Union troops back down the hill, into disarray and fleeing toward Washington DC. Nice try. Epic fail.
@@michaelbee2165 your bit snobbish...why? I am certain you have learned all you know from union propaganda after the war...typical. check the quote your talking about. You will find it in the richmond dispatch coming from stonewalls chief of staff.
@@michaelbee2165 oh yes ..I own a copy of the paper. se if you wish to learn rather than be indoctrinated you need period reports,newspaper,speeches given by veterans and not BS from colleges and perfessers
The so called 'slavery amendment' came in the form of the 13th amendment in 1864 and the 14th amendment in 1868. Neither were enacted by the Founders. They were dead. By definition then secession had nothing to do with any Constitutional clause against slavery. 🙄
@@PeterOkeefe54 Uh yeah...read the resolution from the South Carolina House of Representatives from December 1861 if you want Union propaganda. I'm quite certain those men were more than happy to hand both General Bee and General Jackson every bit their due

Very few counties were the slave population were high % and the majority of the county white people were unionists.
I repeate again The shorter Civil War could gave MORE LIVING PEOPLE for the Southern part pf the USA and the Northern part of USA. I am very sorry for the all victims in the Civil War.
@joncobber It's called Song for Bob, its on the soundtrack of The Assassination of Jesse James.
Tim Kent Jesse James was a Shirley
Thank you. A south african. Please leave the notices up a little longer
Where did you find this music Tim?
excellent video
So Many Generals Killed So Sad
Tim would you please post a list of all the music used on all 3 videos? GREAT work bro!
Yeah, give me a day or so to look them up. I can't even remember them all.
The institution of slavery as allowed in the Constitution during that time period, was a source of conflict and is what caused secession. Yes, the Union invading the C.S.A. is what forced the Confederates hand. As mentioned in the declarations of secession from Georgia, S. Carolina and Texeas, secession was over slavery. I agree with you that the war was over the right to secede. From a Constitutional point of view, I agree with the Souths position. But, slavery began the sequence of events
Why does no one care about the north's use of slavery. During the war, the north used child labor between the ages of 8 and 12 to fulfil 55% of it's industrial jobs. They don't matter because they were poor Irish "WHITE" children. White lives don't matter remember?
@@supermanbhc the libtards got em hook line and sinker but we know
Show us proof of those elusive Irish slaves. And quote no white supremacist propaganda sites.
@@supermanbhc come on buddy don't try and defend the indefensible the south existed on a slave based economy that is wrong despite what the law was at the time. Just saying something was so doesn't make it so you need to show proof. I am not saying that its impossible for old abraham al but suspended the rule of law,but when you assert something not supported by evidence its nothing but here say. I commend your devotion to history but if you focus on just one side you end up with a biased view. The civil war was a very complex issue and I doubt that a single issue caused the war and the thought that a president with well documented racist views would start a war to free the slaves is ludicrous. I believe the war was about economic growth and the northern political and financial class wanted a subdued south and a larger federal government with more control and that they used slavery as an excuse for a war,maneuvering the south into fighting. I think it's a shame that the brave men who fought for the south are being treated to the woke epidemic such are the times. Slavery is the very worst expression of racism and indifference and despite what the true motives of the north were ending slavery was a good thing morally and practically it's just sad that hundreds of thousands of young men had to die in a war for it to happen regardless of motives.
The Constitution didn't 'allow' slavery. The Constitution resolved differences over what constituted Federal government powers and what constituted State government powers. The States had no interest whatsoever in giving up their soveriegn powers as independent states after their victory in the Revolutionary War. They also understood there were security benefits to agreeing to a Union of the 13 Colonies as as one nation. So this nation agreed to a system whereby the Federal government would have very limited powers such as raising those funds necessary "for the common defense." There was more to it that that. But any powers not specifically assigned to the Federal government were reserved to the States. This is the fact that today's internet alleged history cowboys refuse to recognize. After the War Between the States the Constitution subverted. Of course today, the Constitution is a noble piece of paper under glass at the National Archives.
Although Ashby was appointed a General two weeks before his death, he was technically still a Colonel when he died (he had not been confirmed yet).
jstrahan2 yes, there are several of the 425 men who are considered generals that were never confirmed.
General Armistead who fought and died at Gettysburg , was buried in Baltimore . They did not allow a marker on his grave . I am from the north and my family fought and fell at Gettysburg . He deserves a marker , as all Confederates were given a pardon for their involvement . Robert E. Lee was given one , but they never sent it to him . Their cause was wrong , slavery is not a States rights , but when forgiven , allow them to be properly buried . I saw A.P. Hill was reburied with full military Honors ! Gen. Handcock would have approved as Gen. Armistead was a close and dear friend . To the victors goes the spoils , to the vanquished , forgiveness and respect !
The first one, Robert S Garnett. Was the first general officer killed in the Civil War, it happened near Parsons Wv.
😞
Thanks!
God bless our confederate heros
Make some videos on the Union generals that died please and some of their last words. It is only fitting. Please. I really like your videos by the way!
I attempted this very task, but found few pictures to go with their death sites. Don't blame me, ask the government why these guy's didn't get a proper marker at their death sites. I'm sure Uncle Sam can tell you why....
You forgot several Confederate generals including Thomas J Jackson William Paxton JEB Stuart and James Deshler
That gravestone of General Robert Garnett is actually that of his wife and child. Mr. Tim Kent, if you like, I can send you a current image of the General's site, which is right next to this one. My family and I have made several visits there.
By the way, as research has gone along, many sites have been found. As these fallen technically fought for this country, they are entitled to a gravestone paid for by the government. This was never a problem before. But the previous presidential administration changed their rules and made it very difficult. Since a lot of these sites include those that fought for the CSA, they now require, or required (hopefully that changes) a family member or an individual appointed by law to make the request for a gravestone for a newly found site of a fallen soldier.
please send me the photo and thank you so much Roberti.
Thanks Robert, please do send me any new info. sorry for taking so long to reply, I'm attacked so much I tend to not read comments often. Tim.
Hatton has a high school named after him
"Shot in the Groin"
If he lived he would've peed blood until the wound heals
A major artery passes through the groin. There was no chance.
If you are from The South and don't get a strange feeling in your stomach and heart when you watch this video, you need to move up North... This music and the death of these Generals is HAUNTING, AND BORDERLINE SICKENING.
Been meaning to, forgive me I have been so busy writing.
No mention of Turner Ashby Virginia Cavalier!
RIP southern heroes!
Such brave men on both sides, such a terrible war. It makes me wonder what sort of world it would be if Lincoln had let the Confederacy have their independence and all those men had lived.
If only he had adhered to what he stated in the 1840s about tyranny and the responsibility of men. I think he was an honorable man. I think he was a Christian man. I just don't think he fully appreciated the Constitution and the fact that this country still mostly held allegiance to one's State rather than the Union. It wasn't even 100 years since it took a lot of 'horse trading' to get the 13 Colonies on board with the Declaration of Independence. Less still when it was necessary to get delegates to agree to the Constitution. Those Constitutional Conventions ate what led to the 'Federalist' system of governance we have today. It was agreed the Central Federal government would have certain limited powers, the the State's would reserve certain rights not delegated to the Federal government. By the time of the War Between the States it was clear that States' rights had been eroded substantially.
Что бы не говорили ,но Конфедерация бессмертна...ее флаг это символ --Свободы!!!Чести!!!и Чистоты Души!!!
what exactly is a brigadier general is it a higher rank then a regular general
Full General commands army's, lieutenant generals command a corp in an army or about a third of an army, major generals command divisions or about a third of a corps, and brigadier generals command brigades about a fourth or fifth of a division. sorry so long to reply.
its ok thanks for the answer
ВЕЧНАЯ ПАМЯТЬ И ВЕЧНАЯ СЛАВА ВЕЛИКИМ ВОИНАМ КОНФЕДЕРАЦИИ ИДЕЯ ВАША В НАШИХ СЕРДЦАХ
So sad
does anyone know what's the song called?
A government , army , way of life defeated 150 years ago , and some still feel threatened. Get over yourselves and be about the business of 21 century life in America. Allow the Confederate and Union dead to rest in peace, they have earned it !
They've earned far more than we ever could! Agreed! Our ancestors will NOT be ignored as the PC grave destroyers would like. Those terms are unacceptable. Honorable men settled this in the years after the war until circa 1920. The nation then United. Some communist thugs decided to try to crap on the valor of some courageous Americans a couple years ago. Nope, not gonna happen. Your point is well taken. Take it up with them.
Мир и покой вашим душам…вы погибли за благородное дело -спасали свою страну …!!!!
These General's were all so old
Did you even watch the video? Never mind, neither Confederate nor Union dead need your remembrance. They've earned it independent of your ignorance.
THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN
I like history,especially your country's history,but can I have both sides of it..confederate and union..thanks!..
You will have to read both sides. There is no shortage of historians who have written on the subject. As Americans we love European history too.
Great. leave. it. there. out. of. respect.
This is American history.. people want to forget it now or label it bad. These men were not bad. They just fought for the America they deemed right ...why do people want to condemn them today.
Don't ask why anymore. History explained it. These heroes owe NO MORE EXPLANATION.
Gallant soldiers in an untenable cause
Very tenable. A couple battles would have changed things the other way.
REMEMBRANCE!!!!
We, as Americans, can not forget, that these men turned their backs on the United States, took up arms against her, and created an alternative constitution that said it will never be illegal to own other human beings. After complete defeat, and almost total destruction, the United States allowed the followers of these men to return to the US if they behaved themselves, and accept the laws of the United States. Please do not make us regret that. If the confederacy would have fought against a less than noble nation, like Communist China, or the Soviet Union, all the people of the "South" may have been eliminated, and the ground salted. There may have been no talk of the "South", or any confederacy, in our history.
Don't be so sure Russia or China are less noble brother. There are no winners in war.
Nonsense from someone who hopefully will be forgotten. The north did all they could to kill and destroy. About all they didn't do was salt the Earth and I'm surprised they didn't. Your hate is noted but is not reciprocated, because I hated you before you ever thought of it. One thing I always remember is my hatred for the vile and disgusting Yankee race and all that it stands for.
It is hard to read white lettering against a white background
I wonder why i can t read the WHITE writing on the WHITE backgrounds. Must be my eyes
Bee "there stands jackson like a stone wall" some historians (me among them) believe it was said as an insult since he refused to come to Bee's aid during the battle. The victors would have us believe it was NOT the bill of rights that took the confederacy into the war. I think some of us know it was denial of rights that caused the civil war. If those rights needed adjustments the founders gave us a way of doing it. (slavery amendment)
You conveniently left out the part where Bee told his men to ""RALLY behind the Virginians." Meaning Jackson, and there they held Henry Hill on the left flank of General Joseph Johnston's Confederate Army of the Shenandoah. Despite the loses of Gen Bee and Bartow later. Together they drove the Union troops back down the hill, into disarray and fleeing toward Washington DC. Nice try. Epic fail.
@@michaelbee2165 your bit snobbish...why? I am certain you have learned all you know from union propaganda after the war...typical. check the quote your talking about. You will find it in the richmond dispatch coming from stonewalls chief of staff.
@@michaelbee2165 oh yes ..I own a copy of the paper. se if you wish to learn rather than be indoctrinated you need period reports,newspaper,speeches given by veterans and not BS from colleges and perfessers
The so called 'slavery amendment' came in the form of the 13th amendment in 1864 and the 14th amendment in 1868. Neither were enacted by the Founders. They were dead. By definition then secession had nothing to do with any Constitutional clause against slavery. 🙄
@@PeterOkeefe54 Uh yeah...read the resolution from the South Carolina House of Representatives from December 1861 if you want Union propaganda. I'm quite certain those men were more than happy to hand both General Bee and General Jackson every bit their due
With the white lettering you cannot read
Find something else to do.
So called Christians honoring those battling against God. If God was on their side they would have won. All of their souls have been dispatched to Satan's hell.
