If you really want to have your mind blown about probably the least known yet by far perhaps the most significant person of the U.S. Civil War, go in search of a fellow by the name of "Sylvester Magee".
A black man.
A slave.
Fought on the Confederate side.
Fought on the Union side.
Lived to be 130+ years old, making him the last:
Slave to die.
Confederate Veteran to die.
Union Veteran to die.
Another bit of Mississippi History that is incredible!
