Kimcheemonster!!! This isn't bullshit! The guy didn't say the man joined at 21 years of age! He said the man joined after 21 years of being a slave! You're a dumbass!

I think this is great I would like to do something like this. I saw another video where they trace your roots back to africa from your dna its amazing what they can do now. People want to know, esspecially african americans who's history and culture was taken from them where and who there ancestors were. I think this is important not just for african americans but for everybody.

For some reason I was picturing Julius Tingman marching to battle cracking jokes and scrunching his face up like Chris Rock.

lol gotta love Nas one of the realest cats left

when did Nas say that btw?

[earreid]

They were slaves therefore the years were not accurate

Ok....this is just bullshit. The chart shows he was born in 1848. The guy says he joined at age 21 and was in the civil war. That would make the year 1869. This is 4 full years after the civil war.
