Black Rebels of the C.S.A.

Dedicated to the Black Rebels who served the South. May their valorous service be remembered forever.

This particular page will not be liked by Racists whether they be in the K.K.K. or the N.A.A.C.P. It seems that both of these organizations and others as well, would like to have the world believe that the Confederate States of America was some sort of a neo-nazi republic. Nothing could be further from the truth.

One of the main reasons Southern Blacks are not proud that their "Brothers" willingly served on the side of the South is because the South lost the war for her independence. For many years Black organizations fought to get recognition for the few Black soldiers that fought in the Revolutionary war and were as proud as peacocks when they succeeded. Why were they so proud? Because we won that war and the Blacks understandably want to feel that they contributed in some way to that victory.

One never hears that the Blacks who served America during the Revolutionary war were forced to do so or that they betrayed their "Brothers" who were in bondage by fighting for thirteen states that at the time were all Slave States. The Blacks then were fighting for American Independence just as the Blacks in the Confederacy were fighting for Southern Independence. You can be sure that if we had won our bid for Independence from the tyrannical Yankee government the Southern Blacks today would be bragging on their ancestors that fought and served in Dixie's War for Independence. No doubt about it.

The contributions made by the black men and women of the South in the struggle for our Independence is not to be denied, at least not by us. The service they rendered was made in love and devotion for their beloved Dixie and oft times with exceptional heroism. Without their participation our struggle never would have lasted four years.

In the latter part of the 19th century and into the early part of the 20th you were hard pressed not to find a parade without which Black Confederate Veterans marched and they marched with Pride too. They were proud that they served the C.S.A. and the Southern Phalange is proud of them. Here are just a few examples from old historical records.
