My research has shown me that many, many Campbell's fought in that
confederate war
it is called "THE REBELLION" You might find some of your relatives on
those list's.

Fellow Clansmen,
We in the "North" shouldn't think more highly of ourselves than
we ought about the "South" and the Confederate flag. The North has
blood on it's
hands, too. Slavery, if not as prevalent up north, was not too far
behind. Sorry, that's the truth of it. There were more issues at
stake during the
War between the States than just slavery. Things like states rights
and emminent domain to name a couple. The sad thing is that brave
men
of the same blood...kith and kin...fought and died against one
another because GOVERNMENTS couldn't agree. The Confederate flag
bloody
well SHOULD make people uncomfortable. It makes me sick that men of
honor on BOTH sides paid the ultimate price...as is the case with
all war. The Confederate flag does not, however, offend me. The
bloodshed does. None of us were there during those dark years, and
the history
books have painted a hopelesy biased picture of the conflict to the
detriment of the South in most cases. If it's the flying of a
flag...which is a very
REAL piece of history...that offends: SHAME ON US that we forget how
much it cost to have the choice to fly that flag. Let it remind,
rather, that
unless we never forget the pain and suffering GOVERNMENTS have
caused humanity, we will have it to look forward to again. When I
see the Confederate flag, I think, "Brave men....all." He that has
ears to hear, let him hear.
All the best,
Dirk Sears-Campbell
