Civil War's (Sic) Start Merits Celebration

"Why Black America should celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War:

During the Civil War, there were black people fighting on both the Union and Confederate sides. Thousands of black slaves fought and died along with their slave masters. But there were black slave owners who were free men who also fought and died on the side of the Confederacy.

On the Union Army side, thousands of black soldiers also fought and died.

Those men who fought and died in the Civil War of 1861-1865 did so because they felt that they were doing the right thing"
