  1. Are any of them black ?

    1. Were any Federal Admirals and Generals black? Does everything have to concern race. Christian brothers and sisters of all races are being attacked! Are you concerned about that?

      1. Yes, many Christians are being killed in America. Here are a few of the women killed by agents of the government.

        Kathryn Johnston – aged 92, Atlanta, GA
        Yvette Smith – 47, Bastrop, Texas
        Malissa Williams – 30, Cleveland, Ohio
        Rekia Boyd – 22, Chidago, Illinois
        Aiyana Stanley-Jonews – 7, Detroit, MI
        Tarika Wilson – 26, Lima, Ohio
        Alberta Spruill – 57, New York, NY

    2. I found a bunch of African American Confederate photos on Pinterest if you need some for research. Just go to the search section and type it in. There are a bunch.

    3. Maybe it doesn’t concern race, he may be asking because he is trying to find out if he could be related to someone in the photos.

    4. I was asking to see idiotic responses if you wanna know. I know the history seen the pics. But i knew there would be one to assume im using race to attack history, dont assume because your paranoia. I am researching it thats why i asked. Like i owe anyone an explanation. Your response says more about you than my question even ask. Thank you those that actually put more into it than anger over skin color.

  2. This is a very flippant comment but I can’t get over Admiral Semmes’ hair style.
