He once marched all the way from North Carolina to Texas with it on and his flag flying! "March across Dixie".



I love his spirit. He knows the truth. I wish we had more men like him.

Even twenty years ago, he must've been in good physical condition for his age.

On renaming bases named after Confederate figures, Trump claimed that those "locations have taken on significance to the American story and those who have helped write it that far transcends their namesakes."

"Virginia did not secede in defense of slavery. Indeed, when Lincoln was inaugurated, March 4, 1861, Virginia was still in the Union. Only South Carolina, Georgia and the five Gulf states had seceded and created the Confederate States of America.



At the firing on Fort Sumter, April 12-13, 1861, the first shots of the Civil War, Virginia was still inside the Union. Indeed, there were more slave states in the Union than in the Confederacy. But, on April 15, Lincoln issued a call for 75,000 volunteers from the state militias to march south and crush the new Confederacy.



Two days later, April 17, Virginia seceded rather than provide soldiers or militia to participate in a war on their brethren. North Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas followed Virginia out over the same issue. They would not be a party to a war on their kinfolk.



Slavery was not the cause of this war. Secession was -- that and Lincoln's determination to drown the nation in blood if necessary to make the Union whole again.



Nor did Lincoln ever deny it.



 In his first inaugural, Lincoln sought to appease the states that had seceded by endorsing a constitutional amendment to make slavery permanent in the 15 states where it then existed. He even offered to help the Southern states run down fugitive slaves.



In 1862, Lincoln wrote Horace Greeley that if he could restore the Union without freeing one slave he would do it. The Emancipation Proclamation of Jan. 1, 1863, freed only those slaves Lincoln had no power to free -- those still under Confederate rule. As for slaves in the Union states of Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri, they remained the property of their owners." - Patrick Buchanan









For Virginia!!!!!!!



Not that damn NORTHam!!!

Helen Longstreet - A True Confederate Rosie the Riveter



Confederate General James Longstreet's 2nd wife would outlive "Old Pete" by fifty-nine years, spending much of that time defending his reputation.

Helen would also be known as "The Fighting Lady." Was a champion of women's rights, preserving the environment, editor of a newspaper, the first female postmistress in GA., and even ran for Governor as she was opposed to some racist positions the Governor was taking.



During WW2, at the age of 80, she obtained a job at the Bell Aircraft bomber plant in Marietta, GA. This gained national publicity for the effort to employ women in the defense industry

She was a riveter and assembler working on B-29s. She would say at the time, "I am going to assist in building a plane to bomb Hitler."

She would refuse to join the Union saying that there was no place for a Union in wartime.



She was at the head of her class in riveting school. In fact, she was the only one in it.



 Helen would work the 8 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. shift. Her employers became aware of her age and asked her to quit. Helen refused, stating she had the eyesight of a 20-year-old and was in otherwise perfect health.

She worked the line for 2 years never missing a day



This feisty lady said that WWII was "the most horrible war of them all. It makes General Sherman look like a piker." She was a real character in her own right.

And a VERY remarkable woman.



Regrettably, In 1957 Helen Longstreet was admitted to the Central State Hospital in Milledgeville, Georgia for mental illness, which was most likely Alzheimer's. She remained there until her death on May 3, 1962. She was 99 years old and the last surviving widow of a Corps Commander in the Civil War. She is buried in West View Cemetery in Atlanta, Georgia.



 The remarkable woman and life did not end there. She left a mark upon the hearts of people They cherish and honor her memory in many ways still today



In 1947, she became the first woman to have her portrait placed in the Georgia State Capitol. When the Tallulah Gorge State Park was finally created in 1993, it was done in her honor and the trails in the park were named the "Helen Dortch Longstreet Trail System" in 1999. She was inducted into the Georgia Women of Achievement in 1994.



She would fondly say when marrying General Longstreet she was entrusting her life and happiness to one of the noblest men God ever made.

But I think General Longstreet had keen eyesight of a true Southern Fighter

That not only would defend his name but would stand behind any noble southern causes

Women who would not back down

Press on one whatever task at hand



 Strong mighty Southern Woman

An understatement if you ask me

History speaks louder than any words I can say

Or this very picture dated December 27, 1943 issue of Life Magazine speaks pretty loud too



80-year-old Rosie the Riveter

A true Confederate

Widow of General Longstreet

A Southern Fighter till the end
