MORE TO THE STORY THAN ANDERSONVILLE
Freezing rain and snow, flooding waters seeping into barracks from the flooding waters of Lake Michigan, frozen bodies floating ashore days after the storm, an apparatus known as the "Mule", a sawhorse with the plank turned sideways with the jagged, splintered end for more pain, four feet off the ground, sand bags tied to men's feet, some cripplied so severely they never walk again. "Reaching for the Grub", men bending over and touching their toes unceasing, blood coming from their mouth and nose, eyes proturding and in some until their eyes burst. Starvation, no blankets or clothes, beatings with a sharp-edged belt with a metal clasp to rip and tear the flesh, firing into crowed barracks while men are sleeping in the dead of night, hanging men by their thumbs, and those to slow to move and those who could not move, shot on the spot, town citizens allowed to stand on observation areas, for a small fee, to watch the torture of these anguish men. This was known as "80 acres of hell", Camp Douglas, a Union prison of war camp located in Chicago, Illinois. The official number of dead 6,129 killed, although the exact number will never be known. The records were lost or misplaced for the sole purpose of hiding their hideous evil. To this day screams of pain are heard and the smell of decaying flesh are smelt. Now their bodies rest in a mass grave at Oakwood Cemetery. The Commander of Camp Douglas Colonel Cammeron was killed in action in the Shenadoah Valley. Commander Colonel Benjamin Sweet was in control of the death camp.
Elmira, better known as "Hellmira", a northern prison camp located in New York, Fort Delware, known as "Fort Delware Death Pen". Elmira was known for it's high death rate, 25% less death rate of any other yankee ran prison, 2% less death rate than Andersonville. The conditions were unexcusable. The north had more than enough food and substance for it's military , people , and population. On August 18th, Colonel Hoffman ordered rations reduced to water and bread. By the end of the year 1,264 died. Many froze to death due to the orders of Hoffman, only gray items distrubuted and colored clothes burned. At the end of the war 2,963 prisoners were dead. The Chief Surgeon at Elmira boasted that he had, "killed more Rebels than any Union soldier", when he resigned. A former slave via the underground railroad, John W. Jones came to Elmira and buried every Confederate Soldier, only seven were marked unknown, 2,963 Confederate dead. May God Bless this man.
I have written about these Northern Prison Camps, yet when a Civil War prison Camp is mentioned, spontaneously Andersonville is brought to mind. Andersonville is located in southern Georgia, on 26 acres of land and confined 45,000 union prisoners. Food was scarce we could barely feed our own soldiers or people as a result of the Union cutting supply lines . Prisoners died of starvation and disease as a result of polluted water. Raiding parties within the camp against their own comrades resulted in deaths. They were known as "Andersonville Raiders". The Commander Colonel Witz paroled five union soldiers with a petition signed by almost every prisoner to be delivered to Union Officials, asking for the reinstatement 10,1865, on charges of war crimes. Blind justice, the Northern death commanders walked free. The asking of the prisoner exchange, it was denied! The petition was denied by Secretary Seward, he stated, "we have got to fight until military power of the South is exhausted, and if we release or exchange prisoners captured, it simply becomes a war of extermination". That is what their death camps were, and they are solely responsible for the deaths of their on captive soldiers. I do not weep for the North, I only have pity. Colonel Witz, the

Confederate Flag Misunderstanding

"The Confederate Flag Misunderstanding"
"The St. Andrew's Cross, has been falsified and deluded for many years, since the "War of Aggression", or the so-called Civil War, which there was nothing civil about over 650,000-720,000 men dead, for a war that should have never been fought.
The South fought to sustain the Constitution, and the North to preserve the Union. At the first Manassas or Bull Run, we went into battle carrying the "Stars and Bars" the First National. While the battle of Manassas was being fought General PGT Beauregard, and General Joseph E. Johnston, could not distinguish our flag from the union flag. There was no wind blowing, cannon and musket fire, leaving smoke, officers were sent by General Beauregard down for a closer look, but to no avail. At long last a breeze blew and our flag and troops were spotted. The word was given and the yankees were on the run. Since the Confederacy could not distinguish our flag from the union flag, this is why we chose the St. Andrews Cross.
This flag is a religious flag. It is called the St. Andrews Flag, which is based on the Scottish Flag. Andrew was a disciple of Jesus Christ, one of the first. When Andrew was ninty years old, the Romans decided to cruicify him. St. Andrew asked not to be placed on a cross, because he was not worthy to be hung on the cross as Jesus. He asked not to be nailed, but to be tied to the cross because he was not worthy. He asked to be placed on an X symbol. This was done by Patras in 69 AD. He hung on the X symbol tied for three days than was taken down and he died. His remains were entombed and in 370 AD and taken to the eastern coast of Scotland.
So when you condemn this flag you are actually condemming a religious symbol, the symbol of St. Andrew. The red on the flag stands for the blood of Jesus and the X which St. Andrew was hung.. This flag never flew above a slave ship, but the American Flag did. So if you want to judge and condemn a flag, as bigots and racists have, read your history, educate yourself and pass the truth on. Open your eyes and realize this flag flew for only four years.
There are alot of other Confederate Flags to pick from, make a choice if you choose to still be ignorant of your heritage. We will mourn our dead, whose blood ran red on the battlefields, we will fight to preserve our monuments, we will not give up our rights as Southerners. As Jefferson Davis said, "All we want is to be left alone".

Black Confederates of the Civil War
It is estimated that more than 180,000 Black Soldiers fought in the Civil War. 163 regiments were in the Union Army. as well as the navy. In the Confederacy the Lousiana Native Guards was a militia Regiment comprised of 1400 Black men and officers, who offered to accompany Confederate soldiers and officers into the war, they fought battles for the Confederacy, the Louisiana Native Guards was a militia regiment composed of 1400 Black Soldiers and officers, who offered to accompany Confederate Soldiers and officers into the war, they fought battles for the Confederacy. Itis estimated that 65,000, Southern Blacks were in the Confederate ranks. The "Richmond Howitzers", were partially manned by Black militiamen. They were at the Battle of Manassas, where they operated battery no. 2. Two Black "regiments", one free and one slave, participated in battle on behalf of the South. James Washington, Co. D 35th Texas Cavalry, Confederate States Army, became it's 3rd seageant. Free Black cooks, soldiers, and teamsters earned the same as the White Confederate privates, although this was not the case in the Union army, where Blacks did not recieve equal pay. At the Confederate Buffalo Forge in Virginia, skilled Black workers earned the average three times the wages of the White Confederate soldiers and more than most Confederate Army officers. They carried arms, rifles, muskets, sabers, bowieknives, and were a integral portion of the Southern Confederate Army. These Black Soldiers of the Confederacy were proud and fought with Honor, may we learn, remember, and be grateful for their duty. It was reported August 3,1862 by the Atlanta Century Newspaper, that a Black woman wanted to go to war, dressed herself as a soldier and went off to the Macon Light Artillery. God Bless these forgotton Heroes of the Confederacy.

THE LAST WEEKS OF GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE'S LIFE
On a hillside in Virginia high above the Potamac River, overlooking Washington D.C., stands Arlington House, the mansion intended to be a living memorial to George Washington. It was built by his adopted Grandson, George Washington Parke Custis, in 1785, where his wife Mary Lee Fitzhugh lived and were buried together on the property. Their only child Mary Anna, married her childhood friend and distant cousin, Robert E. Lee. They lived in the house until 1861, when Lee was named Major General of the Virginia Military. Fearing for his wife's saftey and anticipating the loss of their family inhertance he wrote to Mary Anna saying, "war is inevitable, and there is not telling when it will burst around you.. you have to move and make arrangements to go to some point of saftey which you must select. The Mount Vernon plate and pictures ought to be secure. Keep quite while you remain, and in your preparations, may God keep and preserve you and have mercy on all our people".
As for Arlington House, Brig. General Meigs, who commanded Arlington House, had appropriated the grounds for use as a union cemetery. Yankees were buried in Mrs. Lee's rose garden out of revenge, not honor. His idea was to render the house uninhabitable should the Lee family ever attempted to return. The U.S. Supreme Court returned the property to Custis Lee. On March 3,1883, Congress purchased the property from Lee for $150,000.
They never returned to their beloved Arlington..........
On the morning of Wednesday, October 12th, 1870, General Robert E. Lee, passed away from pneumonia following a stroke that had occured two weeks earlier. During the last two weeks of his life, Lee's wife, Mary Anna, described her husband's last two weeks in a letter to a dear friend.
General Lee suffered a stroke after attending a meeting at his church. He returned home to have tea with his family. Mary remarked," you have kept us waiting a long time, where have you been"? He did not reply. Instead, he stood as if he was about to say Grace, but he did not utter a word. Lee quietly sat back down in his seat with a breath of resignation. Mrs. Lee said, "that look was never to be forgotten, and I have no doubt he felt that his hour had come.......
The doctor arrived and Mary explained that, "he never smiled and rarely attempted to speak, except in his dreams, and then he wandered to those dreadful battlefields". At one point Lee began to feel better. A doctor said, "you must soon get out and ride your favorite gray! " referring to Traveller." The General did not reply as he closed his eyes and shook his head emphatically. In his final hours, Lee slept a great deal. It became certain it was hopeless. His pulse was weak and rapid as his breathing grew heavier. He still recognized his family and loved having them around. Slightly after nine o' clock on the morning of October 12th, he at last sank into rest as his eyes closed to the world. The old hero lost his final battle as a deep sigh drew across his face. "What a glorius rest was in store for him", said Mrs. Lee. General Lee's last words that are documented were "Tell Hill he must come up. Strike the tent."
–Robert E. Lee, October 12, 1870

"Every man should endeavor to understand the meaning of subjugation before it is too late... It means the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy; that our youth will be trained by Northern schoolteachers; will learn from Northern school books their version of the war; will be impressed by the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors, and our maimed veterans as fit objects for derision... It is said slavery is all we are fighting for, and if we give it up we give up all. Even if this were true, which we deny, slavery is not all our enemies are fighting for. It is merely the pretense to establish sectional superiority and a more centralized form of government, and to deprive us of our rights and liberties." Maj. General Patrick R. Cleburne, CSA, January 1864.
