The Latest In Black Confederate Fashion

in Civil War Culture, Lost Cause

Looks like the newest line of Dixie Outfitters t-shirts is now available and with this little gem you are likely to be noticed miles away.  Actually, I can’t tell whether we are supposed to celebrate black Confederate soldiers or H.K. Edgerton.  Doesn’t this look utterly ridiculous when you put it up against this?

"In this stunning and well-researched book, Kevin Levin catches the new waves of the study of memory, black soldiers, and the darker underside of the Civil War as well as anyone has... Levin is both superb scholar and public historian, showing us a piece of the real war that does now get into the books, as well as into site interpretation."

David Blight, Author of Race and Reunion

I think it’s great they managed to get every single “Black Confederate” on one shirt, plus Edgerton. .

Do you get a copy of Entangled Freedom with each purchase?

I really want to know why the NCO has artillery stripes.

Probably because it looks cool.

Such a lack of numbers as the first comment stated, better coincides with negro slave owners. So be it – if the southern negroes or negro rebels in general wear the shirt.

Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately, I have no idea what point you are trying to make.
