The Road to freedom January 1862.

As we began the new year we find President Lincoln Pressing  General George McClellan to move his troops into the South. And US Navy Ships were starting to tighten there grip on the Southern east cost. the anaconda plan was beginning to work. Freedom was breaking out all up and down the east cost for the Black Slaves. East cost Southern farmers were burning there cotton crops in fear of them falling in the hands of Union Troops. The first real turning of the civil war in  favor of the North happen on January 30. 1862 , when England decided to stay out of the war. And not come in on the side of the South. This was  Major because the South was really looking forward to having England on there side.

Well now that the North did not have to worry about England joining the fight on the side of the South. the Union could now turn full attention toward  defeating the South. Well in the next few months  three Battles  one major one started the South on the road to defeat and to the end of Slavery.

Never forget the Black Slave Women, Because it was on her Back that America was Built.

The Confiscation act of 1861

This was a act of Congress in August 1861 permitting the US Government to Confiscate any property being used to support the Confederate cause. Since the South considered Slaves as property, They were included. After the Battle of Bull Run both sides saw the Slave as a military asset and expendable. General George McClellan was appointed Commanding General of the Army by President Lincoln.

As we move into the fall of 1861 there were no major battles. The US Navy was starting to have success on the east cost, the anaconda plan was starting to take effect. Southern farmers were burning there cotton crops because of fear that they would fall into Union hands. As winter set in military action slowed down.

As I have said the North went to war to save the Union, and the South went to war to preserve and expand Slavery. But as we draw to the end of 1861 Slavery has now become the main issue of the war. The Union did not have a set policy on what to do about Slaves coming into there lines.However when Slaves came into Union lines they felt they were free. It was up to Union Commanders as what to do with Slaves.

Some sent them back, some put them to work, and some allowed them to come through there lines. In the fall of 1861 thing were moving faster than anyone had ever seen. The war was going badly for the North, they had noway of forcing Southern States back into the Union. And if things were not bad enough, there was a risk of war with England. America was coming off track, and Slavery was now front and center.

So 1861 comes to and end with America in total confusion, and Slaves starting to see a path to freedom.

In my next Blog we move into 1862. The Black Slaves path to freedom would get a little wider.

A Chance at Freedom.

 At the Battle of Bull Run we will look a little closer at the Slaves who fought in this war. Nowhere in the American History books can you find the truth about the American slaves contribution to both sides in the civil war.
In this post a Slave that fought at Bull Run will speak.
On Sunday morning July 21, 1861 a Slave by the name of John Parker and three other men open fire on Union forces, the group which was operating a cannon could not see the Union Troops, they only fired at random. Parker and his men had never experience war, and were terrified. The war was all around Parker and his men.He said he felt like he was going  to die every minute. Parker and his men depended on each other for survival because you see they were four Slaves ordered by there master to fight for the Confederates.

The Confederates had a problem in trying to force the Slaves to fight, they were in the fight physically but they were pulling for the Union  Troops to win.The only way to keep the Slaves fighting were the fear of being shot by there White officers.

Slavery did not figure into the first Battle of Bull Run, but infact the Battle loosened the bonds of Slavery. The Battle reveal that both sides saw the Slave as a Military Asset.When the North saw Black Slaves fighting at Bull Run The US Congress in August 1861 passed the Confiscation Act.   Blacks fought on both sides in the American Civil War.

When I got into  Blogging on the Civil
War I was going to write only on the Battles, but I soon found out that the Black Slave and the Freeman Soldiers was in every Battle of the American Civil War.

The first Battle of Bull Run. .

This was the first major battle of the American Civil War. The confederates call the battle the first Manassas.

Just months after the start of the war at Ft Sumter, the northern public clamored for a march on the Confederate capital in  Richmond Virginia. The north believed that this attack would bring the south back into line. The Union General at the time was reluctant to move against the South, because he knew his inexperience troops were not ready for battle.. However General Irvin Mcdowell finally yielded to Political Pressure, and moved his troops South. The Confederate troops was just as inexperience as the Union troops. None of these men on either side had ever seen  real combat.

The Generals who faced off in this battle was General Irvin Mcdowell for the Union, and General P.G.T Beauregard for the South.

On the morning of July 21, 1861 Mcdowell sent two divisions from centerville Virginia at 2.30 am, at 5.15 am a Union brigade fired a few artillery shells across confederate lines. By 11.30 am the Union troops were winning Three brigade had collapsed  the Confederate lines sending them in a disorderly retreat. Bad luck  and bad judgement  ruled the day. Fortunately for the Confederates Mcdowell did not press the attack.

By 12 noon Beauregard had received support . By 3 pm the tide was beginning to turn in favor of the Confederates. At 4 pm the last Union troops were pushed back. Also at 4 pm two Confederate brigades arrived from the Shenandoah Valley . The Confederates now pushed there lines forward the Union lines crumble and they began to retreat. The retreat was at first orderly up to the Bull Run crossing, a wagon was overturn and this incited  panic. The Officers tried to rally the troops but it was to late.They were now running back to Washington.

At this point the Confederates could have fought there way into Washington DC, but they were disorganized, and sober to the fact that the battle was so brutal . Both sides realized that this would be a long and Bloody War

Citizens from Washington came out and treated this Battle as a sporting event.Citizens from both sides were there. They were not prepared for what they saw. The Union citizens surely was not prepared for what they saw. No Union citizen thought they would see there troops running like scared rabbits

One thing that we learned from the first Major Battle of the civil war, was neither side was prepared for so much death, and Blood. Both side now settle down for a long war.

My next Blog I will write on the Black Slaves and Free Blacks contribution to the war effort.

The Anaconda Plan.

After the Confederate's fired on Fort Sumter.  And the Civil war was officially on the Union had to come up with a plan for defeating the Confederates. General-in-Chief Winfield Scot came up with the Anaconda Plan, the Plan emphasized the Blockade of Southern ports. In April 1861 the US was hardly in shape to fight a Sea and ground War. Ship Building had to be rushed in order to get ships in place for the blockade. I read that the regular Army had  no more than 2600 active duty Soldiers. So President Lincoln was caught between a rock and a hard place. The South had there Problems. For one There geography was hard to defend. The Mississippi river ran through the South and poured into the Gulf of Mexico . General Scot knew that if the Union Control the east cost and the Mississippi river they could win the War. The South had the best Generals, but the North had Factories and could reproduce , goods faster. Besides all Slave States did not declare secession. Four Slave States, Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, and Missouri did not leave the Union. Also in June 1861 the western part of Virginia  refused to leave the Union, and the State of West Virginia was born. This would be a very confusing war.

Men from every State in the Union, except South Carolina fought on the side of the Union.This war would pit Brother against Brother. Father against Son. And Families  against Families.

Free Blacks ran to fight for the Union, Slaves abandon the Plantations and flock to Union lines. At the beginning of the War the Union Generals would send the Slaves back to the Plantations.

 However later Union Generals realized by letting the Slaves through there lines that they were hurting the South by taking there labor.

Free Blacks and Slaves fought and served the Union Army on behalf of there Freedom There is one other thing I must say the North and the South Fought this war for two different reasons.

The North wanted to save the Union. The South wanted to preserve, and expand Slavery.

My Next Blog I will post on the first Major Battle of the War,

The Shooting war Starts

On April 12,1861 the American civil war Begin's. A Federal supply ship was sent to resupply Fort Sumter in the Charleston South Carolina Harbor. President Lincoln alerted the State that the Ship was coming hoping to avoid hostilities. South Carolina feared a trick and ordered the Commander of the Fort to surrender, he replied only after his supplies were exhausted, his offer was rejected. Then at 4.30 pm Confederate Troops fired on Fort Sumter. General P.G.T Beauregard Commander of Confederate Forces around Charleston Harbor open fire on the Union Garrison. At 2.30 pm April 13,1861 Major Robert Anderson Commander of Fort Sumter Surrendered.

Well the White Slave Owner who for 400 years had made so much money off of Slavery, who had Raped Killed, Bought and Sold Human Being, and Branded them like Cattle. Has now himself  open the door to end Slavery The Black Slave had suffered so much under 400 years of Slavery in America.

This would now be the Bloodiest war ever fought on American Soil. We will never know how many Black Slaves lost there life's between April 1861-April 1865 we do know that 180,000 Free Blacks and Slaves Fought on the Union side. A figure of 50,000 Troops Union and Confederate lost there Life's

We will move from April 1861-April 1865, and after this war is Fought The Black Slave will be Free from Slavery.

I am a 66 year old black man living in America, I have worn the uniform of this Country,  I am and American Vet. I believe The only way we as Black American will ever be Free is Education, so many of us are uneducated about our History. If you knew your History you would understand how to Combat White Supremacy thinking in 2013.

On The Eve.

Well we are up for the Shooting to began in the American Civil War. We are now up to April 1861.

But before we get into Open Warfare in America, lets look back to how we got to this point. From 1501 up to April 1861 Greed, Money and Power drove America. There was a great demand in Europe for cotton, Sugar,  and indigo for dye. Black Slaves were introduce to America around 1520. At first Blacks worked alongside White Indentured Servant.But by  1660 the economy Started getting better in England. So White Servant stop coming to America. The White Plantation owner needed Labor lots of Labor.At first they turned to the American Indian, White Owners had problems with the Indian, the Indian did not take to field Labor and since they knew the land they could just run away. So the Owner turn to the Black African Slave. The African Slave was easy to identify  because of skin color, and plus the African Slave did not know the land, and had a hard time running away

By 1660 the American Colonies enacted White Supremacy Laws, making Slavery in the American Colonies Permanent. With the Black Slave during all the Labor the White planter/Politician  became quite wealthy. It was boom time in the Colonies. The demand for American goods in Europe was overwhelming. From the 1660 up until 1760 life was good, a lot of money came into the colonies. However by 1760 things began to Change in the Colonies England wanted more Taxes from the Colonies, and the Colonies began to grumble


 Taxation without representation was not setting well in the Colonies. In 1774 and act happen in England that made the American Colonies quite uncomfortable. A Black Slave sued for his freedom in English Court and won. This open up a avenue for the Black Slave to gain his freedom in a English Court. And since the American Colonies were govern by English Law you can see how this proceeding made the Colonies quite nervous. With higher Taxes being imposed on the Colonies, and the thought that A slave could sue for his or her freedom, became unbearable for the White Planter/Politician. So after 1774 the talk of breaking away from England grew louder. By 1775 open rebellion  started against England. England sent solders to quell the rebellion, this made it worst there were no turning  back, the American Colonies wanted Freedom from England.

 In the summer of 1776 Planter/Politicians met in Philadelphia to write the Constitution  Some of the wording that was put in the Constitution was that the importation of the African Slave would continue for another 20 years.



  Words were put into the Constitution like all men are created equal, and Men were born  with enabling rights

 The majority of the men in that room that summer were Slave Owners, and a lot of them were having sex with there Black Slave Women. The Constitution that we live by today was written By Slave Owners.

England was not fully prepared to fight a war with the American  Colonies, so the word went out from English General Lord Dunsmore  to all Slaves in the American Colonies join the fight against the Americans and you will be freed. The response was overwhelming South Carolina lost 34% of there Slaves. Other Plantations had to hire arm guards to keep the Slaves working. In the American Revolution The Black Slave Fought on Both sides. A lot of Slaves were Freed during the American Revolution, A great many follow the English To Canada along with American Loyalest  After the war things started changing in America All Northern States Freed there Slaves By 1795 Slavery was dying out on the East Cost, however in 1797 the Cotton Gin was invented and there was a great demand for Slaves in  Southern States. Whites in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and the Carolina's , had Cleared all the land of Indians Killing, Raping, are




 shipping Them west. And the Indians tried so hard to be like the White Man. They even own Slaves.


But the Whites only wanted there land, and Sex from there Women. By 1810 the demand for slave Labor was so great that free blacks were being kidnap off of Northern Streets.  By 1830 President Andrew Jackson came into office to Solve the Indian problem east of the Mississippi River. Indians were rounded up and sent on the trail of   tears to the Oklahoma  Territory. Those who fought back were killed.

By  1840 Slavery was a way of life in America, And the city of New Orleans  was a major hub in the Slave trade. Throughout the 1840s  up until 1860 if you were against Slavery you were considered radical

1850 Compromise started America down the path to civil war. The Compromise stated that

Texas give up the Arizona and New Mexico Territory, and be admitted as a Slave State Maine was brought in as a free State. One provision that upset a lot of people was the writing in of the Fugitive  Slave Act. Which Stated that any one could be Prosecuted if they harbored any Slaves

In pass Blogs I have spoke on The Kansas-Nebraska Act . and Senator  Stephen A Douglas and John Brown These two men  because of there action sent America into civil war. Well that's it.

We have now come to open warfare in America.

1861 The American Civil War.

January 1861.

South Carolina became the first State to seceded from the Union. They were followed by Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas. And the threat of Succession by four more.

Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina. These Eleven States formed the Confederate States of America.

February 1861 in Montgomery Alabama Jefferson Davis was elected President of the Confederate States of America.

Now we get into the first myth of the civil war. Here is what President Lincoln said at his March 1861 Inauguration. I have no plans to end Slavery in States where it  already existed He said he hope to resolve this matter without warfare.

Well there is a myth  that was not true. Even today 2013 most Americans  think the union went to war to end Slavery. If the Confederate States had accepted Lincolns peace  plan and came back into the Union, Civil War would have been averted and Slavery would have Continued uninterrupted.

The Great Emancipator. I hear people of today use that word when speaking of Lincoln. President Lincoln came into office  to save the Union, not to end Slavery.

I would like to take timeout and go back in History to honor the 1964 Bruce High School Dragons Football Team. From Gilmer Texas.

The 1860 U.S Presidential Election.

 I started this Blog in February 2010 over frustration of how little the American Black People knew about there own history. I knew that you could not put 400 hundred years of history into 28 days. Well I went back to 1501 and now I am up to the 1860 U.S Presidential Election.

The Time has arrived.

The election was held November 6, 1860, and served as the key that unlocked Civil war in America. After this election things would never be the same.

The Players in the election.

The issue of Slavery and Slave expansion broke the Democratic party wide open. The party split north and South. and a party called the Constitutional Union party appeared. The Republican party came close in the 1856 election, and I am sure it was quite unsettling to White Slave owners. To Slave owners there was no living with a Republican President.

The Southern Democrats nominated  John Breckinridge. The Northern Democrats nominated  Stephen A Douglas. And The Republicans nominated Abraham Lincoln.

The Republicans were the dominant party in the North, and therefore secured a majority of the electoral votes, and that put Abraham Lincoln in the White House, with little or no support From the South.

The American Civil War was now set.

Before Lincolns Inauguration seven Southern States declared Secession and later formed the confederacy. Four additional border States join them when Lincoln call to restore Federal Property. in the South. Two States Kentucky and Missouri attempted to remain neutral.

So when  Abraham Lincoln was elected President, for the first time in American history the Slave Owner/Politician did not control the U.S Government. The Slave Owner/Politician saw the President as a threat to there way of life.

You see in November 1860 Slavery was a institution  in the United States of America.

In my next Blog we will start January 1861, America starts this year off a confused and dazed Country.

The 1860 Presidential Election.

Well this Presidential Election sent America right into Civil War. this had been building for some time, and now at that time. Slavery had just become to heavy for America.This war split America half into. Brother against Brother, Father against Son, North against South, Church against Church. The Democratic Party split North and south.

The Republican Party was formed in 1854, made up  of Whigs, Democratic, and Free-Soiler The Republican Party was against the expansion of Slavery into new open territory. America had been divided on Slavery expansion, and the rights of Slave owners since 1850 And now going into the fall election of 1860 the word Secession was now spoke open and freely The 1860 election would turn America in a new direction. America was about to fight its second war in 72 years on the issue of Slavery.

In 1860 there were 4 million Black Slaves in America The ratio of free to EnSlaves were 7 /1  With a Slave population that large you can see why the Civil War lasted so long, and White Supremacy thanking has lasted up until today.

The American Civil War.

We bagan 1860 with the majority of White America directly are indirectly profiting from Slavery. Infact the American Government was making over a 194 Million a year off of Slavery. We began the year with White America totally divided on the issue of Slavery. Pro Slavers against anti Slavery groups. Southern Politicians were in control of the American Government from the very beginning. Infact the majority of the framers of of the US Constitution were Slave owners. So we can imaged that at the beganing of 1860 the Slave owners were quite alarmed.

Slavery started unraveling after the American Revolution, Northern States freeded there Slaves. It took America from the 1770s up to 1865 to crack under the weight of Slavery.

American Black History.

I started this Blog in Febrary 2011 out of frustration the lack of Knowledge that my people had about there own History.I was frustrated by the fact that American Black History was put into 28 days. I ask myself how could you put 4 to 500 years of American Black History into a 28 day month. What a put down to the millions of Black Slave Men and women who gave there lives being shiped to America, and who built America. In 2013 we now settle for only 28 days of speaking about Dr Martin Luther King Jr. Yes Dr King was a great man, but before him there was Black American  History from 1501-2013. I started at 1501-1865. We have allowed others in America to define us, and have not define ourselfs.

I have created other blogs that are important to me, and I hope also to you.

Is ONEY JUDGE  1773-1848.

Young Oney Judge risk everyting  to escape a life of Slavery in the household of George and Martha Washington, and to make her own way as a free Black women. According to Oney she decided to escape after Martha Washington informed her that she was giving her as a wedding gift to her grand daughter Eliza Custis.

According to Oney Judges interview in 1848 she never thought about freedom until Martha Washingtn tolded her she was being gven as a gift.  Lets look at this young Black Slave Women. Oney Judge Defied the most Powerful White Couple of the Day. She Defied George and Martha Washington. Oney was Born to  a Black Slave women and a White Indentured Servant. Oney was a dower Slave brought to Mount Vernon at the age of 10 After Martha Custis Married George Washington. Oney was one of seven Slaves taken to New York in 1789 to work in President Washingtons household. When the Capital moved to Philadelphia in 1790 Oney was one of nine Slaves that were taken along.

The Problem that President Washington had was that Pennsylvania Abolish Slavery in 1880. To ensure that the President would stay under the law he kept his Slaves in the State for six month. Oney said while everyone else  was packing to go back to virginia she was packing to go.Oney said she did not know where she would go she only knew that if she went back to Virginia she would never know Liberty.  Oney had made friends among Free Blacks  of Philadelphia So White Abolitionist and Free Blacks  helped her to escape to Portmouth New Hampshire

The President was urged by Martha to get her back The President refused realizing how unpopular that would be.

That summer a US Senators daughter spotted Oney walking on a street in Portmouth. The President wrote a letter to the Secretary   of state asking him to handle this matter, the Secretary turned to  the collector  of customs to get this Slave girl back.

Joseph Whipple the customs agent interviewed Oney and reported back that her  thirst for Freedom was her only reasion for absconding. Scared lonely and miserable Oney tried to negotiate through Whipple, she offered to return to the Washingtons but only if they would guarante her freedom upon the death of the President. The President was furious I dare A Slave girl try to negotiate with the President of the United States

.Two years later The Presidents nephew went to kidnap Oney hearing of this plot Abolitionist moved her to greenland New hampsshire where she went into hiding. Upon President washington death in 1799  nothing more was said about ONEY JUDGE. President Washington in 1793 did sign into law the fugtive Slave act. So Oney Judge live her life out as a Fugtive from  the law meanng at anytime during her life she could be picked up and sent back into Slavery.

Right before her death a newspaper reporter ask her if she had any regrets of the desision that she made she said no. The hunger for Freedom was just to great. She did say her greatest joy in life other than living out her life in freedom was learning how to read.Miss Oney Judge died February 25, 1848 a free Women.


ONEY JUDGE A POWERFUL AMERICAN BLACK WOMEN.

John Brown May 1800-December 1859.

This man through his action at the federal Armory at Harpers Ferry virginia electrified the North and help push America into War.Browns goal was to break into the Federal Armory and steal guns, to arm Slaves to fight aganist Slave owners.

However he was captured and hanged on December 2 1859. Somehow I do not believe New years eve 1859 was as happy as New Years eve 1854 was for the South. December 1859 the winds of change was now blowing in America, and the Black Slave was center stage.

1860 would start a new America.

The 1856 Presidential Election.

The election was quite heated, The Democrats elected James Buchanan, the Republicans elected John C Fremont, and Know Nothing party elected incumbent President Franklin Pierce.

The Republican party condemned the Kansas-Nebraska Act, and crusaded against the expansion of Slavery. James Buchanan warned that the Republicans were extremists whose victory would lead to Civil War. The Know Nothing party tried to ignor Slavery. Fillmore receved a little over a fifth of the vote. Fremont receved 114 Electoral votes. Buchanan receved 174 Electoral votes. The results in the election indicated that the Republican party were close and with a few more States would win the next election. The Republican party after the 1856 election became a major alternative to the Democratics. Also for the first time in American history a top Presidential party was oposed to Slavery. After the 1856 election America was now on the doorstep of Civil War. In my next Blog I will Blog on two men who kick the door down and put America into War.

As I close this Blog, let me say February is Black History Month. As a Black American Vet who is trying to tell the truth about American History, I would say that Black American History and American History are the Same.

The Black Slave Built America and their story needs to be told. Their story cannot be put into 28 days.

The Kansas Nebraska Act.

This act became problematic when popular sovereignty was written into the proposal so that votes of the moment would decide whether Slavery would be allowed. The result was that pro-anti Slavery elemets  flooded into Kansas with the goal of voting Slavery up or down, this leading to a bloody Civl War.

Senator Douglas hoped popular soverignty would enable democracy to triumph so he would not have to take a side on Slavery. A wave of indignation eurpted across the North, opponents denounced the law as a trumph for Slave power, and the rich Slaveowner. The new Repulican Party was created to oppose the Act.

The Kansas Nebraska Act.

This act is so big and so important to American history that what it did sent the country right into Civil War. Well here we go.

In January 1854 US Senator Stephen A Douglas from Illinois introduced a bill in the US Senate, called the Kansas Nebraska Act, this Bill passed both houses in May 1854 and signed  into law by  President Franklin Pierce.

Happy New Year.

January 1st 2013.

Wow we have made another year. I hope you enter 2013 with strong mind and strong body. For me Iam so happy I have made it to 2013, because  just my being here is pure luck. In November 1998 I passed out with a BloodPreessure of 250.

But with Gods grace I survived, and Iam here today.

In 2013 I would hope that all White Supremacy minded Americans will change there ways, but Iam not hopeful of that. However I would ask you to consider several things going forward. Your children and grand children will grow up in alot different world than you did. Also your base is getting smaller. Look around the demographics in America is changing.

January has a special meaning for me. Today is my Fathers Birthay, and American Vet who wore  the Uniform. A  Black Man who never got the respect he deserved. Happy Bithday to my Dad. 1/1/1917  -1/7/1997.

This is and American Black History Blog.

Iam now up to January 1854. I would think that Slaveholders brought in the new year January 1854, just like they have every other New years, with plenty of food and drank, and good fun and music. Provided by there Slaves Iam sure they felt on January 1st 1854 that life was good. But starting this January there world was fixing to start to turn upside down.

For the millions of enslaved in America 1854 freedom was to began rolling   there way .

Happy New Year.

God Bless America.
