And people who think the Swastika represents anti-semitism are undoubtedly nazis
You guys crack me up!
Actually, if you honestly stop and think about it, that analogy is backwards.
Let's see:
A tyrannical dictator invades another land for the purpose of conquering and eliminating a particular group of people.
Sounds like Lincoln to me.....
There were plenty of black soldiers who fought during the civil war on both sides Union and Confederate.
Buffalo Soldier did not come along until after the war and he is historically correct about black soldiers. Wiki doesn't give all the details and I think you could find a better source. Funny how they used Black troops to fight Native Americans.
I think some of the most fascinating of stories relative to the Black Heritage of the times comes from the micro society of the Gens de Couleur. Gens de Couleur

You been readin way to many current revisionist text and history books my young lad.
IT didnt take Grant YEARS to capture Vicksburg, just months.
and a lot of those good ole southern boys surrendered to. IT wasnt to the death.
THere have ALWAYS been reports of troops running in combat. If you havent been there dont point the finger.

I also saw many a NVA run in fright.

your right of course, it was ALL about states rights..........States rights to own slaves...................a hateful, institution, one that harmed the very fabric of the concept of this nations founding and one that still breeds bitter discontent in the hearts and minds of many an AMERICAN citizen today black and white.
Our black brothers should get over it and us whites should stop rubbing it in their faces.........especially with the flag
