OPEN LETTER TO THE SONS OF CONFEDERATE VETERANS AND OTHER FELLOW AMERICANS

Via Billy

 

My 2nd great-grandfather Octave Bruso. Company G, 5th Missouri (1861) and Company E, 50th NY Engineers (1862-1865). Also the "Union Veterans Legion" lapel pin he wore in the photo. (Below)

If you will go back and read your history the men who actually fought against the south in the Civil War, black and white, had no problem uniting under both flags at numerous reunions.

President McKinley on at least one occasion wore a confederate veteran's lapel as a symbol of unity, even though he was a combat veteran from Ohio. Having survived numerous Civil War battles, he was murdered right here in Buffalo by a left-wing terrorist.

Have you ever watched the videos of those inter-army reunions which followed the war?
Previously I posted an old photo of a Confederate reunion, in which two proud, medal-bedecked black confederates pose proudly with their white colleagues. Confederates' descendants have called the Civil War the "War for Southern Independence" and the "War of Northern Aggression."

Unlike Hitler's Nazis, the CSA didn't want to conquer. It wanted freedom from DC's tyranny and more autonomy for the states as promised under the Tenth Amendment. And now, the money-shot: If you are like most ignorant (not stupid) Americans, you've been brainwashed to believe the "free North" fought the "slave South" to free "negroes."

This is demonstrably wrong.
