Thoughts for the day

Forgotten American Heros…

James Armistead Lafayette

James Armistead Lafayette was a pivotal spy during the American Revolutionary War. As an enslaved African American, he worked as a double agent, providing crucial intelligence to the American forces. His work significantly contributed to the American victory at the Battle of Yorktown.

After the war, he was granted freedom in recognition of his service. Lafayette's legacy underscores the critical role of espionage and intelligence during wartime, as well as the contributions of African Americans to the nation's founding.

Common Misconceptions…

“That the US Civil War was fought over states’ rights. Or the right to own slaves. It was fought over slavery. The confederates said so. Put it in writing. They were proud of doing god’s work.
