THE
VALIANT CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS WHO LIE BURIED HERE WERE MEMBERS OF THE 1ST
ALABAMA INF. REG. CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA. THEY WERE CAPTURED IN THE
SPRING OF 1962 IN THE CIVIL WAR BATTLE OF ISLAND NO. 10 IN THE MISSISSIPPI
RIVER SOUTH OF CAIRO, ILLINOIS. THEIR TASK WAS TO HALT RIVER TRAFFIC CARRYING
MEN AND SUPPLIES TO NORTHERN FORCES FURTHER SOUTH.
AFTER
WEEKS OF FIGHTING UNDER EXTREMELY DIFFICULT CONDITIONS, THEY WERE FORCED TO
SURRENDER. CONSTANT FIRE FROM RIVER GUNBOATS AND LAND FORCES MADE THEIR
POSITION UNTENABLE. AFTER SURRENDER, THEY WERE MOVED TO CAMP RANDALL AND WHEN
THEY ARRIVED MANY WERE SUFFERING FROM WOUNDS, MALNUTRITION AND VARIOUS DISEASES.
WITHIN
A FEW WEEKS, 140 GRAVES WERE FILLED. THE LAST RESTING PLACES FOR THESE UNSUNG
HEROES FAR FROM THEIR HOMES IN ALABAMA, TENNESSEE, MISSISSIPPI, LOUISIANA AND
ARKANSAS.
HERE
ALSO IS THE GRAVE OF ALICE WHITING WATERMAN, A GRACIOUS SOUTHERN LADY WHO
DEVOTED MORE THAN 30 YEARS OF HER LIFE TO CARING FOR THE GRAVES OF ‘HER BOYS’
Mayor
Soglin of Madison Wisconsin removed the memorial plaque pictured above back in
2017, because!!!!! Wait for it………the Nazis!!!!
I’m reading between the lines on this plaque and I don’t see anything about white supremacy, ‘God bless the KKKay’, or anything about slavery. There’s not anything even about defending their homeland from invasion.
It is a
hoot to listen to Soglin’s news conference. He is really frightened of the
United Daughters of the Confederacy. To him those little old ladies are Satan incarnate. Yet the UDC
and SCV are the only people opposing this desecration of graves and for this they will always and forever have my ‘vote’ .
