Ted Tunnell

Ted Tunnell is a history professor and author in the United States. He has taught history at Virginia Commonwealth University.[1] He wrote a book about the Reconstruction era in Louisiana, edited Marshall Twitchell's autobiography,[2] and wrote a book about him. He appears on film in an interview for the show American Experience discussing Twitchell.[3][4]

In 2010, Tunnell was quoted in an article about a Virginia textbook erroneously stating that many African Americans fought for the Confederacy during the American Civil War stating there were only a handful. Regarding the claim that there were thousands, he stated: "I would say all professional historians at universities would say it's grossly exaggerated."[5]
