No and No...I think. I do not believe they were pensioned. Even if they were allowed to be buried in a Nat. Cemetary...I highly doubt they would have wanted to be. |

I'm not sure about the Federal government. But the soldiers were pensioned at the State level. Housed in old soldier homes. Buried in Condfederate cemetaries along with Union dead.
The war was about State Rights vs. Federal Government rule. |

Most pensioned by the individual states. Most were buried in local cemetaries, many of which had veterans sections. Those that went on and had Federal Service in Spanish-American War, Fitzhugh Lee, Fighting Joe Wheeler, etc, egained eligibility for burial in a Veterans Cemetary.
Veterans Cemetaries at locations other than battlefields or Military Installations started in the 1930's. |

They tried to cede from the Union. They are lucky Lincoln let them back in the way he did. Sgtar15 |

Sgtar15 Just think of it, if the Confederate States were not allowed back in, they won in the long run. And then they could stop Yankees from moving here. Plus charge tolls to those wanting to get to Florida. |

i am glad we are back.i just think that if i were around in the south back then that i would have joined the cause.not to over simplify,but,lets say that the liberal northeast compelled the u.s. army to impose their (the n.e.'s)anti 2nd amendment agenda on the south.i would fight.kinda the same.

I'd argue the point but then you'd surrender Again  Anyway I would hope they would have received some benefit from the states, though I would have thought that the feds would have outlawed or restricted benefits to rebel soldiers. |

 Read this book before you make up your mind. Remember, history is as varied as the people who write it. You need to understand it from both points of view. |

There is at least one (I'm thinking TWO, for some reason) confederate soldiers buried at Shiloh National Military Park's Nat'l Cemetary.

I've met Aimless and shot next to him on the firing line for two days. He is a standup guy who I would trust at my back anyday. Don't let that NY address under his name fool you into thinking he's like some of the ner-do-wells in that state. We have some in our state too.

I've seen the papers where my great-grand uncle (whatever!) applied to the state of SC for his pension in something like 1902! I don't remember the date exactly, but it was after the turn of the century. Apparently the law setting aside funds for Confederate vets took a little time to get passed! -YJ |

No, they didn't fight to the end, in the end they surrendered. Oh and I had my NY state concealed carry permit long before you sheep in Tennessee were allowed to carry concealed, how come y'all didn't rise up and fight for the many decades TN wouldn't let you carry concealed? Now stop arguing with your Yankee Overlords, it's considered rude behavior among the conquered. |

I agree with the address part. One of my good friends has NY, NY address. He was victim of the Yankeeism until I talked some since into him. But from what I can tell some of them have an extreme case of it. |

Fixed it for you (no option for gray so I had to use blue  ). And after seeing how dishonorably Washington acted after the surrender he regretted it. Not even going to go into the others that didn't surrender (Price, Shelby to name a few).

Because they were in the end, ALL American soldiers. It was called the reformation, and Lincoln and his successors worked very hard to ensure that the south could be brought right back into the United States. Persecuting them would not heal the divisions.

LOL sure did, I was in Nashville as the crowd with pitchforks and torches assembled around the capital. I gotta give you credit on that front, our taxes are ridiculous, we lose businesses all the time to some of the southern states. Not sure how much of that is cultural v. population density, give it 20 years, the South is "less South" and more "generic american" every year. I've still had a pistol permit longer than you though, and I didn't have to take any stupid .gov course to get it either.

states were sovereign at the time and not controlled totally by one federal gov. preceding the war. there was an illegal embargo and tarrifs placed on southerners which was causing cotton and rice to rot in warehouses. the harbors had been blockaded and people were pretty much at the end of their ropes. the concenses was that if a republican went into office then the states would have to succeed which they had the right to do because of the sovereign rite of statehood. the federal government illegally declared war on states that were acting within the law. no compensation has of yet been paid...the state attacked by an opposing force had the right to defend its boundaries.
i jotted this down real quick between tv shows so please overlook the spelling. after the war the board of freedmen was organized to (supposidly) give property to freed slaves. instead northern official conspired to acquire land which was titled to a black family and then seize the property and sold or kept for themselves....and we also know that no black person ever received their 40 acres and the mule they were promised either..... southern is a heritage i hold dear and i swore to uphold and defend the constitution of the united states and by God's grace i will live to see them both survive. |

Some said something about killing Lincoln years before...you need to read history son...Lincoln was the Souths best friend as the war was ending.....
He wanted to show no malice toward the South and to welcome it back with open arms with no reprecussions...to help it rebuild and to rejoin the Union.. Booth, single handed, set the South back almost 50 years...when Lincoln died the hard liners that wanted to make the South pay, did just that. 10 years of reparations..that destroyed the South's ablitity to rebuild it's economy and to repair it's infrastructure...they allowed Carpetbaggers to come down and rape the South of it's resources and made the South house Troops for the 10 years.... Booth is the reason way at the turn of the Century that the south was almost like it was at the end of the war...broke, dis-spirtited and bitter... |

Confederate Soldier's pensions were paid by their respective states. Our hallowed dead are burried in cemetaries maintained by their decendents, mainly the UDC (United Daughters of the Confederacy), of which my mother and daughter are members. Because if this, we have no need of a nanny state looking after our honored dead.
Save your Confederate money boys, the South will rise again. |

as one of the original postings stated about the war being about the rites of a state to govern itself verses an all powerful government imposing unfair taxes and tarriffs on crops and goods produced which the country had just fought england over, it would be foolish to expect compesation and federal cemetary's to care for southern soldiers. just think if it had been the other way....maybe we wouldnt be paying taxes out the yingyang and being told what we have to do every day by the federal gummit....think about it!!!

Most of the world will never see it because it is untrue. Sorry to burst your bubble. BTW, I am a degreed historian who studied under Dr. Gary Gallagher, the John L. Nau III Professor of the History of the American Civil War at University of Virginia. I believe I have probably researced this topic a tad more than most folks. |

Please see my post above. I would be willing to bet I have more years of formal undergraduate and graduate level US History study than all the posters combined on this thread so far. And just to head off the obvious, I got my undergraduate history degree in Texas, which I beleive was actually in the Confederacy (subtle sarcasm). Try to keep the yankee bashing to a minimum when you reply. |

Article VI:
Federal Government is SUPREME per the Constitution itself. A superior entity cannot be dissolved by an inferior one. The individual state's acts of secession were laws in violation of Article VI, and per this article were null and void. I also recommend you read Federalists 1 through 20 wherein Madison, Hamilton and Jay make it quite plain that the Consitution being debated is to establish a PERMANENT UNION. |
