Secesh Camels?

Ol' Douglas,mascot of the 43rd Miss. inf.,followed his regiment through many battles in the western theatre until he was killed at the siege of Vicksburg.Did I mention that Ol' Douglas was a Camel? pictured-Ol' Douglas Monument in Vicksburg.

Ol' North State

The state flag of North Carolina has been altered since the War between the states(ACW version pictured),Do you think that the flag should have been changed and Why,also which one seems to be a better choice in your opinion as the N.C. state flag?

Look to the Colours!

Flags were easily visible in the heat of battle through the clouds of smoke.A units Colours were a prised possesion and many men died protecting their standards.Being a colour bearer was an honor, even though the risk was great, many dreamt of leading their unit forward carrying their Nation's flag.Which flag would you have fought under and why?(the Stars and Bars or Stars and Stripes-both pictured)

Green fighting for the Gray

When most people think of Irish-men Fighting in The War between the states They think of The Irish Brigade(Union) and the "Gallant 69th",However there were many Irish Units in Confederate service.There were also Irish confederates that gained great fame as they rose through the ranks (Patrick Cleburne).It is estimated that 40,000 to 80,000 Irishmen served in confederate ranks.Does the fact that Irish-men fought for the Confederacy suprise you?,or do you have any questions/ interests on the subject?
