      Who the f^ck cares about an American’s race?
      Oh yeah. The race baiters who care more about their race than the fact that they’re an American.

      We have to tell that history ourselves, and take it from the whitewash.

    Thank you so very much for sharing this wonderful story of African-Americans serving our country in the Civil War. Then to gain some standing in the community in Northfield,Minnesota. Also,I'm very blessed to be reading a book called
    "The Ties that Bind," ("A Memoir of Race,Memory,and Redemption.") By
    Bertice Berry (Bestselling Author of
    "Redemption Song") I now know I have much reading and learning to do,but I also know that when I didn't have any active friends,I did gain two new friends,when I couldn't afford a roof over my head my slightly darker
    shaded companions,helped support
    me while I was all alone. Great friends,and I love those guys in Jesus' love,very sincerely.

    700,000 peak soldiers in Union army. Approx. 200,000 Black union soldiers. True number unknown due to mullato soldiers who enlisted by passing as whites. Think about that.

    Why did black people vote for Robert Byrd's best friend?

    • @scottbivins4758
      @scottbivins4758 Месяц назад

      Because they think just because the South went red means the party switch. Maybe the South got less racist but they don't think about that. Democrats keeping them on that plantation.

    this documentary is great but the rapping takes me out of the immersion.

    Please sto using the word "slave." Nobody was born a slave. Our African Ancestors were ENSLAVED. The y escaped the plantations, and they fought for freedom, and they won.
