THE EULOGY OF DICK POPLAR “BLACK CONFEDERATE" CIVIL WAR SOLDIER 

Pvt. Richard "Dick" Poplar, is why we’re gathered here today. We’re gathered here to honor the services and sacrifices of this brave Confederate States of America Hero. Pvt. Poplar was a member of the 13th VA Cav. Co. H. At the outbreak of the war, he and hundreds of black soldiers left Petersburg, marching toward the depot, down Sycamore St. to the tune of "Dixie." They fought under the Confederate Battle Flag, made by the ladies of Petersburg’s Bollingbrook Street, where Dick had been a distinguished cook for many years. He was captured at the Battle of Gettysburg.

Upon his imprisonment, he was taunted by white and black guards alike, because at any given moment he could have walked out of that squander as a freed man, if only he’d take the oath of allegiance to the northern union. However, Pvt. Poplar, held firm to his beliefs, claiming that he was a "Jeff Davis Man and didn’t care who heard him say it." He spent many months as a Prisoner of War because....he believed in the Southern Cause and states rights and fought against an invading northern army under the Confederate Battle Flag to protect his city of Petersburg, his family, his friends and his native state of Virginia.

Dick Poplar, a brave soldier who was imprisoned in one of the largest POW Camps during the war and survived, was buried in one of Petersburg’s largest cemeteries..... for 118 years... without a headstone.

A POW who gave so much and asked nothing in return, certainly deserves a headstone and the tributes that we gather here to pay this loyal Son of the South.

Thank you for allowing me and our descendants organization to be part of this historical event. I’d like to invite everyone to Pt Lookout, MD where Dick was held prisoner, on Nov. 13th where our own Lee's Miserables reenactors will be portraying Dick and his fellow prisoners in our living history area.

I’m sure that Pvt. Dick Poplar is smiling down on us today and probably saying, "it’s about time!" Thank you and God bless...Patricia Buck.
Bob Harrison was the Guest Speaker delivering Dick Poplar's eulogy and did an excellent job! Bob is a member of our Speakers Bureau and gives programs on Dick Poplar and his picture is included here.

// FREDERICK DOUGLASS ON BLACKS SERVING IN THE CONFEDERATE ARMY //

DOUGLASS ON BLACKS SERVING IN THE CONFEDERATE ARMY. 

Frederick Douglass has been called the father of the civil rights movement. He rose through determination, brilliance, and eloquence to shape the American nation. He was an abolitionist, human rights and women's rights activist, orator, author, journalist, publisher, and social reformer.

Douglass established his own weekly abolitionist newspaper, the North Star, his own periodical titled the Douglass Monthly. In that periodical he wrote the following.

Frederick Douglass, Douglass' Monthly, IV (Sept. 1861), pp 516 - "...there are at the present moment many colored men in the Confederate Army... as real soldiers, having muskets on their shoulders, and bullets in their pockets, ready to shoot down loyal troops, and do all that soldiers may do to destroy the Federal government... There were such soldiers at Manassas and they are probably there still."

WELCOME TO AMERICA


We now live in a country where prayer has been taken out of school, where 

men can marry men and women can marry women. Where unborn children 

can be aborted. Where if you support the “wrong flag” people call you a racist. 

Where kids listen to music filled with profanity and hate.Where criminals and 

illegal immigrants have better benefits than veterans and tax paying citizens. A 

country that pays welfare to unwed mothers for having more children and 

rewards people too lazy to work. No matter what color you are, if you are 

Christian, heterosexual, love your wife and children, and work to support them, 

you are becoming less while they are becoming more.

      @COSProject The COS is a huge risk. It is very likely that you won't get what you want from it. Something really bad might pass instead.
