The shirt's significance is in the way it reflects the continued popularity of Lost Cause mythology about the Civil War. The idea of black Confederates must be understood within the broader context of interpretations that have tried to minimize the brutality of slavery and the importance of slavery to the Confederacy. I highly recommend Bruce Levine's _Black Emancipation _ (Oxford University Press) if you are interested in learning more about the debate over arming slaves in the Confederacy and the evolution of the myth of black Confederates which took hold by the beginning of the twentieth century.

As I am unfamiliar with your personal stand on the Civil War, I would like to know what significance you found in the "Chandler Boys" t-shirt. Thanks, I discovered your blog tonight.

Perhaps, it will make a good top for your Halloween ensemble. Will you actually wear it or will you frame it for posterity? Perhaps, it will make a good top for your Halloween ensemble.
