War Between the States and Confederate soldiers, Whites and Blacks

 Submitted by: 1stCav

To the Editor:                     if the Confederate flag is going to be removed from Alabama`s Coat - of - Arms because some mistakenly think it represents slavery then all the flags on it should be removed as those countries all dealt in the slave trade.    If you need someone or something to blame for slavery in America I suggest you start with the Ashanti tribe in the present day country of Ghana in West Africa. They sold Africans to European countries for luxury items, guns & assorted trinkets.    Get your facts straight on who is to blame for slavery in American. European countries could not have bought slaves if the Ashanti tribe had not put them up for sale.        Billy Price _____________________________________ Note:  Black radicals also call themselves African-Americans, why is Africa included, after all Africa is where Blacks started selling Blacks for slavery and still are. "Freemen" Blacks that "enlisted" into the Confederate Army and attended their Confederate Regimental reunions well into the early 1900's, with their White comrades.  And received Confederate veteran pensions until their deaths.  Many Blacks today have had government tombstones placed on their  Confederate veteran ancestors graves, which includes their ancestors Confederate Army units they served in and with the Southern Cross on top of the tombstone. About 75% of all Confederate soldiers never owned slaves and didn't serve in the Confederate Army to keep slavery,they fought for their homeland and states rights. Radical Blacks such as BLM, fake Ministers, etc.  Only use slavery as an excuse to make money,create racial hate, etc. and Socialist politicians (White and Black) only use race to create racial problems for their own parties political proposes, such as using domestic terrorist to create lawlessness for weeks and still are.
