"Abandon your animosities," Lee said, "and make your sons Americans."

General Robert E Lee surrenders at Appomattox Court House 1865

After the Confederate armies surrendered, individual soldiers received paroles allowing them to go home if they promised not to fight. This example was issued at Appomattox Courthouse, Virginia, to Private Aaron Geiger of Company G of the 10th Florida Infantry and was signed by his commanding officer.

Ringgold Battery

After the battle of Missionary Ridge, Gen. Bragg´s Confederate Army retreated through the Ringgold Gap in disorder towards Dalton, GA. Brig. Gen. Patrick R. Cleburne was ordered to take position in the gap east of Ringgold and to hold back the Federals and save the Confederate trains and artillery from capture. Even though outnumbered 3 to 1, Gen. Cleburne successes in delaying Gen. Hooker long enough for the Confederate forces to reach safety. Exercising his only independent command, Cleburne utilized the terrain and his well-trained troops, to hold up Federals pursuit for five precious hours. The trains and artillery were saved. By Joint Resolution, the Confederate Congress thanked Cleburne for his achievement.

Repairing the railroad, Cattletts Station, on O and A RR

Catlett's Station on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad saw much activity during the Civil War and was mentioned in many dispatches. General J.E.B. Stuart raided a Federal supply depot here on August 22, 1862 in the opening phases of the Second Manassas Campaign. In May 1863, Colonel Mosby staged two raids along the rail lines around Catlett. The first was on May 3 at Warrenton Junction to the southwest where the Warrenton Spur connects to the main line. Weeks later on May 29, Mosby returned and destroyed a train to the northeast of the station, and was pursued to the north by Federal cavalry detachments.

Battle Of Peebles Farm/Battle of Poplar Springs Church: In an attempt to cut the last rail line into Petersburg, Virginia, Union troops attack the Confederate defense around the besieged city on this day in 1864. Although initially successful, the attack ground to a halt when Confederate reinforcements were rushed into place from other sections of the Petersburg line. The Southside Railroad, the object of the attack, was still in Confederate hands, and the armies settled back into their trenches.

Battle of Gettysburg

The Battle of Gettysburg, fought from July 1 to July 3, 1863, is considered the most important engagement of the American Civil War. After a great victory over Union forces at Chancellorsville, General Robert E. Lee marched his Army of Northern Virginia into Pennsylvania in late June 1863. On July 1, the advancing Confederates clashed with the Union’s Army of the Potomac, commanded by General George G. Meade, at the crossroads town of Gettysburg. The next day saw even heavier fighting, as the Confederates attacked the Federals on both left and right. On July 3, Lee ordered an attack by fewer than 15,000 troops on the enemy’s center at Cemetery Ridge. The assault, known as “Pickett’s Charge,” managed to pierce the Union lines but eventually failed, at the cost of thousands of rebel casualties, and Lee was forced to withdraw his battered army toward Virginia on July 4

The Black Confederate Soldier

The Black Confederate Soldier has been for the most part ignored by Yankee Historians, modern day political correctness has resulted in a willful ignorance as to the sense of duty, honor, faith and patriotism of these brave soldiers. It is not possible that I could do them justice, in posting this one small article that will be for others, but for now, consider these unsung heroes of the Confederacy and the sacrifice they made for the Cause.
