@sharonr, I think you will
enjoy this development.
Yes I did enjoy that, and thank you. It's hard to keep up with all posts, and have a life....The video is amazing in itself when you look at all the octogenarian elderly people who are spry and healthy. One man, 84, looked like any other 65 year old today. Now most people don't live to be that old, and if they do, they have Alzheimer's disease and locked away in a home. Sad.
The development in that thread that these men were fighting the "Dutch" is also very interesting. These men were not out there fighting to keep slavery in tack. That is preposterous. How these people get away with these lies is more than maddening. I will spend the rest of my life researching this and exposing the truth of what my southern relatives were actually about. If they fought, they were fighting against a real enemy.
Off topic but related: I play an old video game (1999 maybe) on my computer which is about the pirates, takes place in the Caribbean, and the 4 forces who control this territory are the English, French, Spanish, and Dutch. They are always fighting each other and you are the "pirate" and can attack any one of them, but you are also working for any one of them at any time. They need you as an independent force to do their dirty work for them. At the end of the game you are very wealthy and can retire as "governor" long after you have fought and pillaged and you have married one of the governors daughters. Not your typical story of the ruffian, scoundrel pirate. This is a Sid Meyers game and we also play his Civilization Revolution which has some brilliant tid-bits in it also. The pirates, East India Company ect. story line is very interesting. Something was going on there that relates to all of this.
I agree. I count 9 probable ladies.

With this in mind I watched Ken burns again. It is strange how everyone head was too big for their body in this war.
For many portraits, it is like they dressed up some dummies in civil war clothes, but only had ladies mannequins available.
And then pasted a face over it in the photo.
If you google confederate soldier, there appears to be plenty of undoctored photos that could pass for women.

When doing so, It is important to keep in mind what women looked like before they were hit with our modern beauty propaganda.

I like your theory on the mannequins bodies with the pasted on faces. The legs (and much else) are just not right. They have blacked out the eyes though. Not sure why if they are pasting "real" faces on. This seems an obvious "staged" photo. Have to show some "real" rebel forces somewhere to convince the people they really existed as we are told. They did exist, but not according to the made up narrative they tell. I think the photos of the dead bodies are also some real rebels, even if I can't explain the photos yet.
RE: Your post in the other thread
Where were US flags prior to the Civil War? , and the video with the octogenarians is a brilliant find. Also this more extended photo of the confederate mannequins. I certainly couldn't do this research without everyone else's help. Thank you.
Maybe some women fought for the rebels? Why not?
Looks like a match.
