Trump Creates First National Monument Celebrating African-American Civil War Soldiers

President Trump used his executive powers to designate Camp Nelson as a national monument, establishing a 380-acre site in Kentucky to honor African Americans’ role as soldiers during the Civil War. Camp Nelson is the first national monument designation under President Trump.

Established as a Union supply depot and hospital during the Civil War, Camp Nelson became a recruitment and training center for African American soldiers and a refugee camp for their wives and children. Thousands of slaves risked their lives escaping to this site with the hope of securing their freedom and, ultimately, controlling their futures by aiding in the destruction of slavery.

I was just thinking how great it would be to have a thread where all the Mint Julep drinkers could go on and on about the "War Of Northern Aggression".

ESAD,Yankee scum!

I'm a little shocked it has taken this long for this to happen. Let's try to hold their feet to the fire and have them mention and have displays about blacks that fought for the Confederacy.

Trump Dedicates First Monument To Black Civil War Soldiers; CNN Fails To Comment
November 4, 2018 Chris Donaldson
 

I didn’t merit much attention over at CNN, but President Trump’s designation of the first national monument of his presidency took place and it was a significant one.

The president used his powers under the Antiquities Act to name Camp Nelson near Nicholasville, Kentucky as one of the nation’s 130 such protected areas.

The 380-acre site in Jessamine County was established as a Union depot in 1863 and served as a recruiting area for escaped slaves who joined the North to take up arms against their oppressors. It pays tribute to the courageous black soldiers who fought during the Civil War an is a long overdue honor to loyal Americans who rarely get the attention that they deserve in the history books.
