Battle of Oxford - Last Battle of the Civil War

Big Sarge · 09-30-2012, 10:23 PM

50 years ago tonight, the last battle of the Civil War was fought at the University of MS. This battle was key to so many changes in my life. 50 years ago was a time of segregation, lynchings were still discussed, signs were posted that all niggers had to be gone by nightfall, and the Democratic Party stood for rascism and oppression of minorities. Due to this "battle", my life was changed for the better. My schools were integrated long before those in the north. I was raised a Republican. Now, I'm a member of the NAACP and I have a bi-racial child.

One night changed my whole life and I am eternally grateful.
