                              THE CONFEDERATE VETERAN

 

The Congress of the United States calls the Confederate soldier and sailor "VETERANS". 

Public Law [H. R. 358] 72 Stat. 133
"(e) For the purpose of this section, and section 433, the term 'veteran' includes a person
who served in the military or naval forces of the Confederate States of America during the
Civil War, and the term `active, military or naval service' includes active service in such forces."

 

Not one Confederate soldier or sailor was ever convicted for treason.

WILKESBORO, N.C.—Each month, Irene Triplett collects $73.13 from the Department of Veterans Affairs, a pension payment for her father's military service—in the Civil War.

More than 3 million men fought and 530,000 men died in the conflict between North and South. Pvt. Mose Triplett joined the rebels, deserted on the road to Gettysburg, defected to the Union and married so late in life to a woman so young that their daughter Irene is today 84 years old—and the last child of any Civil War veteran still on the VA benefits rolls.

In 1938, on the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, the government paid for Civil War veterans from both the Union and Confederate soldiers to attend a reunion on the Pennsylvania battlefield. Pvt. Triplett was one of more than 1,800 who went.

 

 

 After General Robert E. Lee surrendered his army, General Grant allowed Gen. Robert E. Lee and is officers
to leave with their arms, mounted on their battle horse and in full Confederate uniform.

 

 

 When General Robert E. Lee left the building where he had just surrendered, General Grant of the Union Army stopped the Northern troops from cheering.  He said the two sides were no longer their enemies, and the best way to show the North’s joy was not to celebrate the South’s defeat.

 

 

And yes the cause was wrong but it ended slavery in America.
We remember the Confederate Battle Flag because it was used in combat and not as a racist symbol.
Man has caused that to happen because of the flags misuse and being hijacked by bad people and associations.
The Confederate Battle Flag has been used by our military in every war since the Civil War.
One reason is that the battle flag represents the REBEL SPIRIT of the Confederate soldier and sailor.
And it was that REBEL SPIRIT that got them through battle when facing overwhelming odds.
The Civil War happened.  It is part of our American history.
(Take a stand and don't let others erase and prevent the next generation the right to learn from our history.)   

The War Between the States has been over for 150+ years! 
WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO TOLERANCE & FORGIVENESS?
