As Davis wrote, "' ...they fought and died because their Southern homeland was invaded and their natural instinct was to protect home and hearth."'. Major General Cleburne, CSA, " ...stated that slavery was their 'most vulnerable point, a continued embarrassment, and in some respects an insidious weakness.' Cleburne’s proposed solution was for the Confederacy to arm slaves to fight in the army. In time, these soldiers would receive their freedom.".

This same phenomenon continues to this day with the progressives' centralized overreaching power grab.44https://www.blogger.com/profile/12279323738793315123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7060696059642580878.post-77766675501220388502015-10-12T16:01:11.709-05:002015-10-12T16:01:11.709-05:00The following quote is from the Gulf islands natio...The following quote is from the Gulf islands national seashore: ship island people and discusses my great-great grandfather's Civil War involvement. “ ...John C. O’Connell [CSN] ... helped bring the formidable, but slow steam-powered ram, C.S.S. Tennessee, into battle against Union warships at the Battle of Mobile Bay. ...O’Connell’s Tennessee was forced to surrender upon receiving massive damage, including loss of steering capability. First imprisoned aboard Union warships, O’Connell traveled to the U.S. Naval Hospital in Pensacola, then to a prison barracks in New Orleans. Finally on November 6, 1864 he was sent to the prison camp on Ship Island. He would occupy a tent near the beach until … March 2, 1865 the naval engineer gets word that an exchange of prisoners has been arranged between sides. John C. O’Connell boards a ship and under a flag of truce sails back to Mobile and away from Ship Island.”44https://www.blogger.com/profile/12279323738793315123noreply@blogger.com
