Talk:Hispanics in the American Civil War

Confederate Carlists, a curious fake
It's a rather nonsensical fake according to which there were from 4,000 to 7,000 Carlist in the Confederate army, with Carlist units indeed under a certain general Echegaray. Behind the joke is David Odalric de Caixal, a young right-wing historian. Some people in Spain, and even in the USA, has believed this fake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.8.98.118 (talk) 12:24, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is very interesting and what makes it even more so is the fact that "de Caixal" claims that all the records and documents that would have proofed that these Carlists particpated as Confederates in the American Civil War were destroyed.

It should say "Hispanics", not "Hispanics and Latinos"
The demonym Latino refers to people from Latin America, which includes Brazil. Hispanic, on the other hand, refers to people who are of Spanish origin or speak Spanish as a first language. Since there's no mention of Brazilians in the American Civil War and the "Latino" demonym in English wasn't used prior to the 20th Century, I don't see the need of saying "Hispanic and Latinos". I suggest changing it to simply "Hispanics in the American Civil War".--Raderich (talk) 10:17, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Actually I just saw that "Hispanics in the American Civil War" was the name of this article, and it was changed with no previous debate a year ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hispanics_and_Latinos_in_the_American_Civil_War&type=revision&diff=1034300844&oldid=1001497543 I'm reverting this arbitrary change.--Raderich (talk) 10:20, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

 * His paternal family was Spanish, as is clearly said both here and in his biographic article. ...GELongstreet (talk) 20:03, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
