I read that prior to this battle that the local Indians were afflicted with smallpox and brought their suffering people to this creek for water, shade, and hopefully recovery. About 70% of the afflicted died. For once "water of death" aka Chickamauga seems appropriate, though we'll never know for sure its meaning.

What you just described is the official history we learned in school at Chickamauga (Gordon Lee High). Thanks

There were thousands of enslaved blacks with every Confederate army. Confederate Army regulations permitted men to take an enslaved man into the ranks with them to serve as a "body servant." The body servant's job would be to attend to the needs of the soldier. They cooked, carried supplies, and carried out a variety of other tasks around the camp to help ease the burdens of soldiering for their enslaver. During battle, they would stay with the wagons, carry supplies to the front, and assist with evacuating the wounded.

This isn't true!! There was NO African Americans in the Confederate Army, this was disproven by creditable historians. There was body servant's and Teamsters and men doing different manual labor and etc. There was freed slaves and enslaved doing the work behind the Confederate Army lines. They should check their facts and re - edit the 🎥 film, I expect more from this company.

@Coin Collecter Most African Americans who served in the Confederate Army didn't serve in military armed!! It went against everything the Confederacy was fighting for. Most of them served as body servants, Labors, cooks, laundry and etc Neo Confederate Lost Causers know African Americans serving in the Confederate Army has been debunked by creditable historians. I don't really believe this story.

@Coin Collecter This African Americans in the Confederate Army, isn't real so 🛑 stop with the Lost Causers Neo Confederate propaganda. American Battlefield Trust dismiss this theories about African Americans serving in the Confederate Army as soldiers and in combat. You know why most historians ever heard of this man? Because he ever existed in the Army, if he is it was forager enlist paperwork, there is NO records of Africa Americans in Confederate Army. Stories of armed black men marching and fighting would make it easier for the descendants of Confederate soldiers and those who celebrate Confederate heritage to embrace their Lost Causers unapologetically without running the risk of being a racially insensitive or worse.
