#21. Reunion of confederacy, 1916. My question: the men of color in the picture.
Plenty of historians claim that southern people of color fought for the confederacy; I read all of that literature in the 8th grade, like everyone else did.
But that concept has been strongly refuted.
It’s probably pointless for me to pose this question here. Depressingly, it’s unlikely that anyone here understands the issues and relevant literature as well as I do; yet people will probably comment.
People tend to respond to deep questions with the arrogance that accompanies a complete lack of understanding.
Despite my dismal expectations, I pose the question:
Is the photo in # 21 accurate?
Plz don’t respond with general knowledge about the subject. Plz only respond if you have more information regarding this exact photograph than is presented in this article.
