Alan No actually the Connecticut yankees you just talked trash on were the best friends the south had. When Butler replaced the 9th Conn that was garrisoning Layfeyette Square in New Orleans the people in that neighborhood signed a petition to keep them there. It was the 9th Connecticut that returned the first captured Confederate battleflag in 1888 and they were degraded by their GAR brothers for doing that. It was the 9th Connecticut that allowed General Beauregards family to have services for his deceased wife in occupied New Orleans agaisnt the orders of their commanding general. It was the 9th Connecticut that allowed 100 men in New Orleans in 1862 to join their unit after refused by others. The 9th Connecticut and 3rd Mississippi Infantry became brother units after the close of the war. Invited each other to their reunions. Its nice to see you hold so much bitterness for a regiment that disbanded 144 years ago. You know nothing about their record or what they did for the returned Confederate unit in June 1865 in Savannah Georgia their raising of cash for the returned Jasper Greens. It was the 9th that placed the flag back on the recaptured works at Cedar creek. Live on your hate. This room is all yours I do not want to exchange info with the likes of you.
