Some of our links already provide historical references for your education, or school paper that you maybe researching.  We do a lot of linking to other websites.  Why?  Because we see no reason to re-invent the wheel!  So with that said, we hope you find these page as interesting as we did.  If you have questions, please contact us and we will get back to you as soon as possible with an answer.  Should we don't have an answer we will point you in the right direction to get you the answer!!

One of the most common questions we get at every re-enactment event we attend is:  "Was there really such a thing as a black rebel?"  Here is your answer, just follow this link.

We have all been taught that the War Between the States was fought over slavery.  Right?  Well invite you to challenge your education, and let the old veterans tell you in their own words why they fought.  Meet Julius Howell and he will tell you why they fought.  Let not your ears deceive you.

American Indians.  Yes they fought for the CSA.  "What?" you say.  By now you should start to get the idea that minorities fought alongside white men and bled and died with the white men. I invite you to visit SCV Camp 2000.  The home of the Lakota Nation.  They will tell you their story.

What about casualty figures for the Confederate States?
 

The "States of Secession's" white populations, number of

troops furnished, and number of troops killed.....1861-1865



There were many from other states, even the north. I know of no records on these.
