Title: April is Confederate History Month
Post by: Blazor on April 14, 2020, 11:59:42 AM
And while my state governor is ignorant, and trying to destroy our history, I would like to bring awareness to truths. Not the stuff that is crammed down our throats in the public school system and the media. I'll be updating this thread over the next couple weeks.



I would like to start with the reason for secession. It was NOT over slavery. It was because the North was greedy, and overtaxed the South.



If it was over slavery, why is it that all of these folks that never even owned slaves, fought? Less than 3% of Southerners owned slaves. Believe it or not, freed blacks owned slaves as well. Of those freed blacks, over 25% of them owned slaves as well.



Slavery was bad, but it was not as despicable as what the books in school taught us. Most worked alongside their masters, and ate with their masters, treated fairly. Blacks would actually apply to be a slave and choose their master. This was because they could not support themselves. To free a slave, you had to go before someone in the court, and pledge that the slave was a good person, and could support themselves. Slaves were also needed during the early creation of America. There wasnt enough manpower to do the work, not enough people here. Why is Slave the word most often used, when Indentured Servant was closer to the truth of what many blacks were, employees.



I would also like to point out that not one slave ship landed at a Southern port. They all landed up North, and they were sold to the South. While flying the American flag.

Read Gone With the Wind... it'll talk of slavery, the real truth... not the BS tv shows.



When they flattened those plantations... there was no work for the blacks and people starved to death...



Warning - The first 300 pages of Gone With the Wind are mediocre BUT persevere. From page 300, to 900, it'll be the best read you'll ever read by a country mile. It was freaking brilliant.

Right on, I may have to check it out some time.



You are right, people and blacks starved to death. We were invaded down here, which is why I call it The War of Northern Aggression. And when they came, they raped the women, burned the crops and food and homes, killed children, and looted.



Which is another reason blacks fought in the war on the South's side, to protect their way of life, their homes, their masters, and their master's families. The South was the first to accept blacks to fight alongside them, the North did not, and considered them inferior, up until the last year of war.

It was legal back then. They were not doing anything illegal, unless you consider some of the owners that did treat their workers poorly. Which believe it or not, most of that activity of poor treatment, was up North, and done by Black slave owners.



Those slaves were sold by their own people as well. Slavery still exists in certain parts of the world.



The slaves that came here, had better lives than where they were for sure. Unless again you had horrible employers.

Does anyone know the true story of Fort Sumter?



School books will tell you the South fired on the fort, thus starting the war. But that is far from the truth.



Lincoln had things working against him, and he did not want to lose his support. So he devised a strategy to provoke the South into firing first. The fort, being in Carolina, was officially Southern owned with secession, and Union owned forts were asked to abandon them. But Lincoln sent a hostile fleet, to resupply the fort. So, with the fort in front, and the fleet approaching from the harbor, the South fired in self defense upon the fleet. Again, the Union would not give up the fort when asked, so the fort was fired upon.

You are exactly right. While the South was not allowed slaves after the war, the North still kept theirs, for several years.

I found this and thought it was interesting. So all you fuckers that cant stand us, better stop drinking Coke lol.



A Confederate History Month moment



John Stith Pemberton, the inventor of Coca Cola, fought for the Confederacy during the War Between the States. Pemberton rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the 3rd Georgia Cavalry at the end of the war.



John Stith Pemberton was born in Knoxville, Georgia in 1831. He attended public school in Rome, Georgia where his family resided for many years.



In 1850, he completed his medicine and pharmacy training from the Reform Medical College of Georgia in Macon at age 19. In 1853, he came to Columbus, Georgia and married local woman Eliza Clifford Lewis. The Pemberton's only child was Charles.



It is believed that Pemberton's "French Wine of Cocoa" was the forerunner of what is now Coca Cola. It was originally dispensed as a head ache cure as well as serving as a "cure for whatever ails you."



Pemberton's product, which would become Coca Cola, was first sold in the Jacob Pharmacies of Atlanta. Doctor Pemberton died in Atlanta, Georgia on August 16, 1888, at the age of fifty seven and it was reported by the media of that time that all of Atlanta's pharmacies were closed for his funeral. He is buried in Columbus' historic Linwood Cemetery.

Some states did, yes, but not all. In fact, Lincoln gave even more favortism to the Northern states that simply didnt secede and join the Confederacy. The 13th amendment wasnt even signed until 4 years in to the war.



Delaware did not ratify the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery until 1901, the only non-seceded state that opposed the Amendment into the twentieth century. Northern slaves did not celebrate gradual emancipation as they would the abolition of slavery with the 13th Amendment. Under these gradual policies not much changed for slaves; many slaves remained in bondage, freedom was delayed for children, and much of the status quo remained in society. This is not to discount the shift that did occur in the period after the Revolution. Many slaves were freed individually during or after the Revolutionary War, and there was certainly an increased discussion about issues of slavery and race in the North. However, it is clear that only in New England did slavery die quickly. In the rest of the northern states, the process was very slow and slavery still had a presence up until the Civil War. While the North started to build their Free Soil Ideology and argue with the South over issues of slavery, the institution was still present there (albeit a shadow of slavery in the South). Clearly the line between "free" and "slave" in antebellum America was not as solid as sometimes presented.

Lincoln didnt like the South having a 10% tariff, vs the 90% the North imposed on the South. Would have been so much better.

I did read that freed slaves were often in bondage after slavery officially ended.

Another reason Lincoln wanted to free the slaves, after the states seceded, was because it would undermine the economic engine and labor supply of the south, the slaves. Remember, the states seceded, cause they were tired of being taxed so much (think Boston Tea Party or along the lines), and were legally allowed to secede. Lincoln did not like this, and tried to force them back in by force. As punishment to the money the South was making, and not sending back up North, Lincoln freed the slaves. Before that though, Lincoln was against freeing slaves.

I found this Blazor.



in the fall of 1854, Lincoln presented more clearly than ever his moral, legal and economic opposition to slavery—and then admitted he didn't know exactly what should be done about it within the current political system.



Lincoln didn't believe blacks should have the same rights as whites.

Though Lincoln argued that the founding fathers' phrase "All men are created equal" applied to blacks and whites alike, this did not mean he thought they should have the same social and political rights. His views became clear during an 1858 series of debates with his opponent in the Illinois race for U.S. Senate, Stephen Douglas, who had accused him of supporting "negro equality." In their fourth debate, at Charleston, Illinois, on September 18, 1858, Lincoln made his position clear. "I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races," he began, going on to say that he opposed blacks having the right to vote, to serve on juries, to hold office and to intermarry with whites. What he did believe was that, like all men, blacks had the right to improve their condition in society and to enjoy the fruits of their labor. In this way they were equal to white men, and for this reason slavery was inherently unjust.



Like his views on emancipation, Lincoln's position on social and political equality for African-Americans would evolve over the course of his presidency. In the last speech of his life, delivered on April 11, 1865, he argued for limited black suffrage, saying that any black man who had served the Union during the Civil War should have the right to vote.



Lincoln thought colonization could resolve the issue of slavery.

For much of his career, Lincoln believed that colonization—or the idea that a majority of the African-American population should leave the United States and settle in Africa or Central America—was the best way to confront the problem of slavery.



The Emancipation Proclamation didn't actually free all of the slaves.

Since Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation as a military measure, it didn't apply to border slave states like Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri, all of which were loyal to the Union. (Missouri actually had two competing governments; one loyal to, and recognized by the Union, and one loyal to the Confederacy). Lincoln also exempted selected areas of the Confederacy that had already come under Union control in hopes of gaining the loyalty of whites in those states. In practice, then, the Emancipation Proclamation didn't immediately free a single slave, as the only places it applied were places where the federal government had no control—the Southern states currently fighting against the Union.

The South was the first to accept blacks to fight alongside them, the North did not, and considered them inferior, up until the last year of war.


Margaret Mitchell wrote that over a period of 12 years in the early 1900s. There were still people alive back then who survived the Civil War. I got one of my friends in the USA to read that book to me over the phone, (I'd already read it 5 times) He actually cried reading it when he got to the part children, old men and blacks crawled off to the war in its last stand... He got so emotional reading it... I made my aunty read it. I had to ring her up and crack the whip through the first 300 pages, "keep reading, keep reading, keep reading" but after that at page 300, she could not put it down...



It's an eye opener to the reality of what the civilian population went through and today's carpetbaggers are no different, they're still around under different dress.



And funny enough it was my teenage son who got me to read it in the first place. We had the movie and we watched it a few times and I bought the book but it was my son who ran off to his bedroom to read the book... He'd come out of the bedroom and say, "mum, Scarlet had two children before Bonnie," and so on, and my curiosity was piqued and I said, "Gimmee that book."  



The book is an historical novel and not the romance the movie makes it out to be. It should be compulsory reading for every student globally.

That sounds about right. He also said this....



If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that.



He said that in 1862.

You are right, people and blacks starved to death. We were invaded down here, which is why I call it The War of Northern Aggression. And when they came, they raped the women, burned the crops and food and homes, killed children, and looted.



Which is another reason blacks fought in the war on the South's side, to protect their way of life, their homes, their masters, and their master's families. The South was the first to accept blacks to fight alongside them, the North did not, and considered them inferior, up until the last year of war.


Margaret Mitchell wrote that over a period of 12 years in the early 1900s. There were still people alive back then who survived the Civil War. I got one of my friends in the USA to read that book to me over the phone, (I'd already read it 5 times) He actually cried reading it when he got to the part children, old men and blacks crawled off to the war in its last stand... He got so emotional reading it... I made my aunty read it. I had to ring her up and crack the whip through the first 300 pages, "keep reading, keep reading, keep reading" but after that at page 300, she could not put it down...



It's an eye opener to the reality of what the civilian population went through and today's carpetbaggers are no different, they're still around under different dress.



And funny enough it was my teenage son who got me to read it in the first place. We had the movie and we watched it a few times and I bought the book but it was my son who ran off to his bedroom to read the book... He'd come out of the bedroom and say, "mum, Scarlet had two children before Bonnie," and so on, and my curiosity was piqued and I said, "Gimmee that book."  



The book is an historical novel and not the romance the movie makes it out to be. It should be compulsory reading for every student globally.




It was long ago I saw the movie, but I take your word that the book is much better lol.

Quote from: "Blazor"
Quote from: "Fashionista"I found this Blazor.



in the fall of 1854, Lincoln presented more clearly than ever his moral, legal and economic opposition to slavery—and then admitted he didn't know exactly what should be done about it within the current political system.



Lincoln didn't believe blacks should have the same rights as whites.

Though Lincoln argued that the founding fathers' phrase "All men are created equal" applied to blacks and whites alike, this did not mean he thought they should have the same social and political rights. His views became clear during an 1858 series of debates with his opponent in the Illinois race for U.S. Senate, Stephen Douglas, who had accused him of supporting "negro equality." In their fourth debate, at Charleston, Illinois, on September 18, 1858, Lincoln made his position clear. "I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races," he began, going on to say that he opposed blacks having the right to vote, to serve on juries, to hold office and to intermarry with whites. What he did believe was that, like all men, blacks had the right to improve their condition in society and to enjoy the fruits of their labor. In this way they were equal to white men, and for this reason slavery was inherently unjust.



Like his views on emancipation, Lincoln's position on social and political equality for African-Americans would evolve over the course of his presidency. In the last speech of his life, delivered on April 11, 1865, he argued for limited black suffrage, saying that any black man who had served the Union during the Civil War should have the right to vote.



Lincoln thought colonization could resolve the issue of slavery.

For much of his career, Lincoln believed that colonization—or the idea that a majority of the African-American population should leave the United States and settle in Africa or Central America—was the best way to confront the problem of slavery.



The Emancipation Proclamation didn't actually free all of the slaves.

Since Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation as a military measure, it didn't apply to border slave states like Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri, all of which were loyal to the Union. (Missouri actually had two competing governments; one loyal to, and recognized by the Union, and one loyal to the Confederacy). Lincoln also exempted selected areas of the Confederacy that had already come under Union control in hopes of gaining the loyalty of whites in those states. In practice, then, the Emancipation Proclamation didn't immediately free a single slave, as the only places it applied were places where the federal government had no control—the Southern states currently fighting against the Union.

https://www.history.com/news/5-things-you-may-not-know-about-lincoln-slavery-and-emancipation


That sounds about right. He also said this....



If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that.



He said that in 1862.

Emancipation was not a priority, keeping the country united was.

My Dearest Mother,

The boys and I are still on the march, despite the fact by now we all miss our basements and video games. We were marched to battle in Boston today, we were outnumbered and we took a lot of casualties but have fallen back to the Cracker Barrel to regroup. Not sure if the generals will have us on the march again tomorrow.

Quote from: "Blazor"And while my state governor is ignorant, and trying to destroy our history, I would like to bring awareness to truths. Not the stuff that is crammed down our throats in the public school system and the media. I'll be updating this thread over the next couple weeks.



I would like to start with the reason for secession. It was NOT over slavery. It was because the North was greedy, and overtaxed the South.



If it was over slavery, why is it that all of these folks that never even owned slaves, fought? Less than 3% of Southerners owned slaves. Believe it or not, freed blacks owned slaves as well. Of those freed blacks, over 25% of them owned slaves as well.



Slavery was bad, but it was not as despicable as what the books in school taught us. Most worked alongside their masters, and ate with their masters, treated fairly. Blacks would actually apply to be a slave and choose their master. This was because they could not support themselves. To free a slave, you had to go before someone in the court, and pledge that the slave was a good person, and could support themselves. Slaves were also needed during the early creation of America. There wasnt enough manpower to do the work, not enough people here. Why is Slave the word most often used, when Indentured Servant was closer to the truth of what many blacks were, employees.



I would also like to point out that not one slave ship landed at a Southern port. They all landed up North, and they were sold to the South. While flying the American flag.

Then, a Christian college kicked him out because he stood up for what he believes in. Do these "Christian" colleges not know, that the X flag was created by Catholic Scots, as it represented the cross St. Andrew was crucified on.

This one is a long read, so Im going to make this one a few posts, but this gives you a good idea of how we were treated down here, what we fought againt, and why we will never forget....





Lincoln was so determined to keep the South as an economic resource that he first invaded six Northern and border States whose governors refused to call-up their militia to support his invasion of the sovereign Southern States. This action is now being recognized as a radical Republican executive and military coup. Only Congress was authorized by the Constitution to increase the number of troops or order them to active duty. The Constitution forbade the sending of federal troops against a member State. Lincoln deposed and arrested dozens of democratically elected State officers and representatives who were so vulgar as to disagree with his policies. In 1863 an international convention held in Geneva, Switzerland codified international law with regard to the "Conduct of War." The convention took the principles of "civilized" warfare that had evolved during the previous two centuries by Christian European nations and declared them to be international law that should be obeyed by all civilized societies. The Geneva Convention concluded that it should be considered a war crime, punishable by imprisonment or death, for a military force to attack defenseless civilians and towns, plunder civilian property, take civilians hostage or take food from civilian populations against their will and without appropriate compensation.



These civilized (most of you know I prefer the term ruralized since rural peoples are more peaceful than city peoples) practices were in common use by the military of the Confederate States. Confederate armies following classical thought, before the Geneva Convention, already were "required to take nothing" from the civilian population, and "to purchase" needed provisions at a "fair price" from willing sellers, a common practice during wartime. War was to be between opposing military forces, soldiers, and not against civilians (that is, women, children, and the elderly) so far as possible. Even Israel backed their tank corps away from a strategic hill in Beirot, Lebanon when they saw that Middle East College, a private Christian school and seminary, was in the direct line of fire. They surrendered the hill rather than involving civilians, not necessarily a practice they honour today.

The Lincoln administration superficially adopted the principles of the Geneva Convention in General Order 100, known as the "Lieber Code." But it had a giant loophole that permitted federal commanders to completely ignore, that means "violate" the entire code if "in their discretion," they felt the events were such that they "thought" they ought to do so. The interpretation of this code became so loose that it was commonly acceptable and ordered for the U.S. military to kill civilians on sight for any or no reason.





The code was written by Francis Lieber, a Columbia University law professor. The Lieber Code was, in truth, a clever piece of propaganda written to satisfy the few remaining northern Christians and European governments critical of their conduct of the war. Thomas DeLorenzo, professor of economics at Loyola College, writes:

The Code's author was the German legal scholar Francis Lieber, an advisor to Otto von Bismarck and a staunch advocate of centralized governmental power. In his writings Lieber denounced the federal system of government created by the American founding fathers as having created "confederacies of petty sovereigns" and dismissed the Jeffersonian philosophy of government as a collection of "obsolete ideas." In Germany he was arrested several times for subversive activities. He was a perfect ideological fit with Lincoln's own political philosophy and was just the man Lincoln wanted to outline the rules of war for his administration.





From the very beginning of the war against the Confederate States of America, the Lincoln government intentionally and systematically targeted defenseless civilian populations. (And, who are the civilians? That's right. They are the women, children, and the elderly.) His Secretary of War Winfield Scott's battle plan, known as the "Anaconda Plan," blockaded all Southern ports and inland waterways in order to "strangle and starve" the Southern civilians. (And, we know who they are.) The plan's purpose was to demoralize the women, children and elderly left at home. Its design included keeping food, shelter (even their homes), drugs and medicine out of the hands of all Confederate civilians even when it meant abandoning thousands of their own soldiers in Southern prisoner of war camps. The concept was so efficient and demoralizing to Southern civilians that President Bush called his plan of attack against his hated Islamic enemies, who he thinks destroyed the Twin Towers of New York, Operation Anaconda.

Post by: Blazor on April 16, 2020, 03:29:43 PM
Lincoln's plan was a radical departure from Western civilized ethics and practices of the conduct of war. Emmerich de Vattel (1714-67), the Swiss jurist and author of The Law of Nations and world expert on the practice and conduct of war, wrote: "The people, the peasants, the citizens, take no part in [war], and generally have nothing to fear from the sword of the enemy." This remained true for all civilians as long as they refrained from hostilities themselves. They would continue to live their lives in a normal manner and "live in perfect safety as if they were friends." Growing corn, beans and wheat was not yet considered a war activity by civilians. Enemy or occupying soldiers who stole or destroyed private property or harmed civilians were regarded as savage barbarians. Thaddeus Stevens, a congressman from Pennsylvania, stated in Congress in July 1861 that the time had come when the constitution could no longer stand in the way of the U.S. in its conduct of the war against the Southern States. He confidently entertained a high level of comfort in challenging Congress: "Who pleads the Constitution against our proposed action?" He knew that it was universally recognized by all other civilized nations that pillage and wanton destruction of private property was not permitted by the laws of war. He was voicing public recognition of the great moral abyss that separated the industrial materialistic North from its classical European roots and the Southern States. President Davis argued publicly against this new radical departure of the U.S. government saying: "When prosecuting the war with Mexico, we respected private property of the enemy," and that the "sectional hatred" of the North for the South and the "vain conceit" of the North's "newly acquired power led to the idle prophecy of our speedy subjection, and hence the Government of the U.S. refused to act as required by humanity and the usages of civilized warfare."





Actual genocide and ethnic cleansing by U.S. military forces began early in its invasion of the Confederacy at the first major battle of the war, the battle of First Manassas in July 1861. U.S. military forces first plundered and then burned private homes across northern Virginia. This violation of the basic constitutional and human rights of Virginians quickly became pervasive and the commonly accepted practice of U.S. military commanders. It became officially established as U.S. policy on 20 June 1862, one year into the war. Remember, most often, military policy changes occur following the existing changes in common practice.

So violent and savage was this practice that the Commanding General of the Army of the Potomac, the Army of the United States, General George McClellan, a trained and educated soldier who recognized the character of these events from the beginning, wrote Lincoln from Harrison's Landing imploring him to conduct the war according to "the highest principles known to Christian civilization" and to "avoid knowingly" targeting the civilian population. He wrote:

It should not be a war looking to the subjugation of the people of any State in any event. It should not be at all a war upon populations, but against armed forces and political organizations. Neither confiscation of property, political executions of persons, territorial organization of States, nor forcible abolition of slavery, should be contemplated for a moment.

Lincoln's response was to ignore his letter and replace McClellan as head of the United States Armed Forces. McClellan was so convicted concerning Lincoln's conduct of the war that he ran against Lincoln as the Democratic candidate for president in 1864. The war's goal was clearly manifested from its beginning. It was the extermination or total subjugation of the Southern peoples.

Mark Grimsley in The Hard Hand of War observed that the U.S. Army was full of "thieves, freelance foragers, and officers willing to look the other way," and that by October 1861 General Louis Blenker's division "was already burning houses and public buildings along its line of march" in Virginia. Early in the summer of 1861, before the Battle of First Manassas the Army of the Potomac was known for "robbing hen roosts, killing hogs, slaughtering beef cattle, cows, the burning of a house or two and the plundering of others."





In 1862 General Sheridan adopted the theory of "collective responsibility" in an unethical, violent and feeble-minded attempt to "justify" attacking innocent defenseless civilians. (Who were these civilians? They were the ones not in the army. They were the women, children, and the elderly.) In retaliation for his own poor performance as a tactician and general on the field of battle, a theory and practice won the praise of his commander-in-chief, President Lincoln. Sheridan adopted this theory earlier articulated by U.S. General Pope who commanded his army to plunder and kill, at will, civilians. Sherman later termed this practice as "the final solution."

Sheridan was careful to not leave too much in writing, but at one point he suggested that General Louis D. Watkins "burn ten or twelve houses of known secessionists, kill a few at random, and let them know that it will be repeated every time a train is fired on from Resaca to Kingston." He was only advising other generals to follow what he and others had already put into practice.

Pope had commanded that "All villages and neighborhoods ... will be laid under contribution." Any males wishing to retain their homes were commanded to take the U.S. Loyalty Oath or be shot. Many were not given the option. Subsequently, Sheridan, as had Pope, burned the entire towns. He burned Randolph, Tennessee to the ground because Confederate snipers were firing at Union gunboats on the Mississippi River. He then took civilian hostages (who were these hostages?3/4women, children, and the elderly) and either traded them for federal prisoners of war, a barbaric and radical departure from the commonly acceptable practices of civilized warfare, or murdered them. Memphis was destroyed and left unpopulated for three years after the war.

This practice had been universally held in contempt for hundreds of years by European governments. Dozens of Southern towns in Southern States no longer existed by the end of the war. At times Sheridan summarily had unarmed civilians shot on sight. In the federal Official Records of the War there are accounts of U.S. soldiers shooting peaceful old men, women and children from the windows of trains during troop transport. Some whom they shot were guilty of the high crime of plowing their fields or walking down a sidewalk or simply "being a Southerner." Terrorists have no conscience. General Sheridan saw all Southern civilians as guilty and mostly they were guilty of being Christians and believing the South was just in its cause. He said, "First. Deal as hard blows to the enemy's soldiers as possible, and cause so much suffering to the inhabitants of the country that they will long for peace and press their government to make it. Nothing should be left to the people but eyes to lament the war."





Sheridan turned the beautiful Shenandoah Valley into "the valley of the shadow of death." By the end of the first year of the war, "authorized foraging," meaning pillaging and plundering and raping, became the plan of attack against the Southern economy and civilian population. When a man in his army was killed he would burn all the houses within a five-mile radius and kill some if not all civilians in the area. So indiscriminate were these planned massacres that some of the dead were supporters of the U.S. war effort, but that made no difference to the quality of men serving in and commanding the ranks of Lincoln's war effort. United States armed forces made certain the towns were clear of Confederate troops and snipers before sending their "forces" against the civilians. Their plan of attack faced the terrors of assaulting positions held by the elderly, women and children as they did their chores and played.





General Philip Sheridan evacuated and in some areas exterminated the Shenandoah Valley. He burned everything. He boasted in a letter to General Grant that in a few days he had "destroyed 2,200 barns ... over 70 mills ... driven in front of the army over 4,000 head of stock ... killed not less than 3,000 sheep.... Tomorrow I will continue the destruction." Upon receiving this report President Lincoln at the Executive Mansion in Washington, D.C. on 22 October 1864 wrote to General Sheridan: "With great pleasure I tender to you and your brave army the thanks of the nation and my own personal admiration and gratitude for the month's operations in the Shenandoah Valley." Earlier on 11 October Sheridan had written, "I know of no way to exterminate them except to burn out the whole country." Sheridan's troops in letters to their families described themselves as "barn burners" and "destroyers of homes." One soldier bragged of "burning 60 homes." The main exercise of his "military efforts" was against Southern civilians. Nearly all were women, children, or elderly men. This continued for four years.





In the autumn of 1864, after the withdrawal of the Confederate Army from the devastated Shenandoah Valley, General Grant ordered Sheridan to turn the valley into a "desert." He did. William T. Patterson, a sergeant in Sheridan's army, described the continued pillaging, plundering, and burning by Sheridan of Harrisonburg, Bridgewater, and Dayton, Virginia:

The work of destruction is commencing in the suburbs of the town.... The whole country around is wrapped in flames, the heavens are aglow with the light thereof ... such mourning, such lamentations, such crying and pleading for mercy I never saw nor never want to see again, some were wild, crazy, mad, some cry for help while others throw their arms around yankee soldiers necks and implore mercy. Negroes, free and slave, were constantly targeted. Current figures place the death total of Southern negroes at 800,000 to 1,200,000. Negroes were targeted more often than Southern whites. Mark Grimsley writes of these generous liberators: "With the utter disregard for blacks that was the norm among Union troops, the soldiers ransacked the slave cabins, taking whatever they liked."

A common practice of U.S. troops was to put a hangman's noose around the slave's neck and threaten to hang or, indeed, actually hang him unless he told where the household's jewelry, silverware, and money were hidden. Their rape of black women was more common than that of white women. Negroes were randomly drowned, beaten, raped, placed in concentration camps and starved to death, or shot by occupying U.S. military forces, a face of this war not touched by Ken Burns and the PBS Civil War Specials. There were mass graves around the South of large numbers of Negroes killed by the invading U.S. military. In Sanders, Louisiana, 2,000 Negroes went to the U.S. army asking for help. Many of them were ill. The U.S. placed in them in a concentration camp and gave them neither food nor water until they were all dead. National Public Television showed where the U.S. Army drowned over 800 Negroes at bayonet point in a river near Charleston, South Carolina, thus saving ammunition.

Mark Grimsley wrote a first hand account of the sacking of Fredericksburg, Virginia in December of 1862:

"Great three-story houses furnished magnificently were broken into and their contents scattered over the floors and trampled on by the muddy feet of the solders. Splendid alabaster vases and pieces of statuary were thrown at 6 and 700 dollar mirrors. Closets of the very finest China were broken into and their contents smashed ... rosewood pianos piled in the street and burned.... Identical events occurred in dozens of other Southern cities and towns for four years." Lee Kennett, Sherman biographer, says that historians radically downplay the horror of Lincoln's war on civilians and admits that Had the Confederates somehow won, had their victory put them in position to bring their chief opponents before some sort of tribunal, they would have found themselves justified ... in stringing up President Lincoln and the entire Union high command for violations of the laws of war, specifically for waging war against noncombatants.





Describing Sherman's New York regiments he adds that they "were filled with big city criminals and foreigners fresh from the jails of the Old World." It took coercion to get some Northern men to do the criminal acts Lincoln and his generals commanded. Sherman admitted after the war that what he had been taught at West Point would indicate that he "could be hanged" for the things he did in the war. The British and much of Europe clearly understood the reason for the war and its true nature and its conduct. In December of 1861 Charles Dickens wrote that he detested slavery as most living in the North and the South did, but said:"the northern onslaught upon slavery was no more than a piece of specious humbug designed to conceal its desire for economic control of the Southern States. "Union" means so many millions [of dollars] lost to the south; secession means the loss of the same millions to the north. The love of money is the root of this as of many other evils ... the quarrel between north and south is, as it stands, solely a fiscal quarrel."





Virginia became the first victim of this genocidal Total War policy, suffering its effects first under Generals Sheridan, Pope, Banks, Blenker, Butler, Hunter and dozens of other U.S. generals. Virginia suffered more plundering, the murder of her civilians en masse, and devastation from this policy than any other State, even more than Georgia and South Carolina.

When these memories are brought into the open some people feel that the South is still fighting the war, but in reality the U.S. is still trying to cleanse their culture of their Southernness, especially her Christianity. Much to the continuing dismay of northerners the South continues to memorialize its mass graves and holocaust in much the same manner as the Jews remember their days of suffering and extermination under the Nazis. Because the South lost the war there is no public or governmental review and recognition of these crimes against humanity.





Thomas DiLorenzo in his essay "The Other Reparations Movement" writes:

Unable to subdue their enemy combatants, many Union officers waged war on civilians instead, with Lincoln's full knowledge and approval. Grimsley describes how Union Colonel John Beatty warned the residents of Paint Rock, Alabama, that "Every time the telegraph wire was cut we would burn a house; every time a train was fired upon we would hang a man; and we would continue to do this until every house was burned and every man hanged between Decatur and Bridgeport." Beatty ended up burning the entire town of Paint Rock to the ground. These were the actions of barbarians, not a civilized army. With the approval of President Lincoln, the U.S. Army, DiLorenzo continues, "pillaged, plundered, burned, and raped its way through the South for four years." In like manner General Sherman destroyed the cities of Jackson and Meridian, Mississippi. In a letter to General Grant, Sherman boasted, "The inhabitants [of Jackson] are subjugated. They cry aloud for mercy. The land is devastated for 30 miles around." He had to devastate the land since he could not defeat the army. Sherman bragged about the destruction he wrought on Meridian after the complete evacuation of the Confederate Army. He wrote, "for five days, ten thousand of our men worked hard and with a will, in that work of destruction, with axes, sledges, crowbars, clawbars and with fire.... Meridian no longer exists.

Sherman was advised by his chief engineer, Captain O.M. Poe, that the bombardment of Atlanta would achieve no advantage since the city was of no military significance and the Confederate Army had withdrawn from the city. He implored Sherman to stop the destruction after seeing the bodies of dead women and children in the streets. Sherman responded that "their bodies were a beautiful sight" and continued until he had destroyed 90 percent of all the buildings in Atlanta. The movie Gone with the Wind did not show the masses of the dead lying in the center of the city to be civilians, women, children, and the elderly. The remaining 2,000 residents were evicted from their homes. The scenes of the burning of Atlanta from Gone With The Wind, as dramatic as they were, hardly portrayed the devastation of Atlanta and its civilian population. Winter was approaching. Sherman was more thorough than Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia.For the North this was not largely a war against an opposing army; it was a slaughter of defenseless civilians3/4children, women and the elderly. His men systematically burned hospitals, homes, churches, schools, colleges, libraries and seats of city, county and state governments. They burned Bibles, hymnals, photographs of Southern individuals and families, and county, city, and State government records. Sherman wrote that eighty percent of his army's warfare was directed against civilians and their property. He boasted that his army destroyed $100 million in private property and carried home $20 million more during one short period of his march to the sea, and bragged about shooting civilians who simply disagreed with him. No home escaped robbery and no woman escaped insult. He permitted his men to leave women who were in the advanced state of pregnancy lying in the snow, gang-raped, with no food, no shelter, and no hope. Many died. Sherman wrote, "all the people are now guerrillas." Sherman's biographer, John Marszalek, wrote that Sherman "saw everyone south of the Mason-Dixon Line as an implacable enemy." This clearly defines the war effort as an exercise in genocide. There is also clear evidence that this was Lincoln's intent from the beginning of the war. On 31 July 1862 General Sherman wrote his wife explaining his goal and the strategy he planned to use "against the Southern people," against non-combatants and not just the military, with these words: "extermination, not of soldiers alone . . . but the people." Sherman's tender wife, his source of inspiration, wrote him back, saying that she wanted "a war of extermination and that all [Southron's] would be driven like swine into the sea. May we carry fire and sword in their state till not one habitation is left standing."





This dominant attitude in the North led one Northern soldier, Lt. Thomas J. Myers, to write:





I have no time for particulars. We have had a glorious time in this State [South Carolina]. Unrestricted license to burn and plunder [rape and kill] was the order of the day. The chivalry have been stripped of most of their valuables.

General Sherman has gold and silver enough to start a bank. His share in gold watches and chains alone at Columbia was two hundred and seventy-five.





We took gold and silver enough from the damned rebels [the women and their homes] to have redeemed their infernal currency twice over.





The damned niggers, as a general thing, preferred to stay at home, particularly after they found out that we wanted only the able-bodied men, and to tell the truth, the youngest and best looking women. Sometimes we took them off by way of repaying influential secessionists. But a part of these [thousands] we soon managed to lose, sometimes in crossing rivers [drowned 800 at bayonet point at one time in Charleston], sometimes in other ways. I shall write you again from Wilmington, Goldsboro, or some other place in North Carolina.... Love to grandmother and Aunt Charlotte. Take care of yourself and the children. Don't show this letter out of the family.

Your affectionate husband





This sounds like the press of today as when George Will called for a strategy of war against terrorists that includes killing their leaders and as many of our adversaries as possible. Will wrote "U.S. strategy [in war] should maximize fatalities among the enemy, rather than expedite the quickest possible cessation of hostilities."This Shermanesque blind rage of primitive hatred and bigotry is passed from one generation to the next. This was exactly the approach of Sheridan, Grant, Banks, Butler and most Northern commanders. General Sherman said: "I fear the world will jump to the wrong conclusion that because I am in Atlanta the work is done. Far from it. We must kill three hundred thousand [more than the total number of those left in the Confederate Army] ... and the further they run the harder for us to get them."
Title: Re: April is Confederate History Month
Post by: Blazor on April 16, 2020, 03:31:49 PM
In 1864, just before his March to the Sea, Sherman declared "We must kill 300,000," referring to civilians. Concerning the extermination of Southern men he wrote, "that the present class of men who rule the South must be killed outright." Sherman wrote, "I would not restrain the army, lest its vigor and energy should be impaired." There are hundreds of such statements explicitly defining this genocidal approach to civilians made by many northern generals, politicians, writers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, and news media persons before and during this war. And if that weren't enough the current news media praises Sherman as a saint for these policies and actions as we recently saw in the writings of the pseudo-conservative columnist and advocate of genocide, George Will. Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin had such supporters, like George Will, of their identical policies, who soothed the ears of those who might feel a twinge of conscience at such radical actions.





U.S. President Abraham Lincoln urged and supported these radical actions taken by his commanders from the beginning of the war. Typical of his and congressional U.S. support of a genocidal war against the South is the Preamble to House Resolution #97, also known as the "Retaliatory Orders," which was passed by both houses of Congress in January of 1865:

Rebel prisoners in our hands are to be subjected to a treatment finding its parallels only in the conduct of savage tribes and resulting in death of multitudes by the slow but designed process of starvation and by mortal diseases occasioned by insignificant and unhealthy food and wanton exposure of their persons to the inclemency of the weather. It is nearly impossible to make an accurate report concerning the death toll of Southern civilians.





Recently, Joseph Stromberg in his essay "Strategies of Annihilation: Total War in US History," raises the question as to what happened to the 50,000 missing Southern civilians who disappeared along Sherman's line of march to the sea. Sherman's own account of this march notes thousands of atrocities he permitted and ordered against both black and white Southern civilians. It should be noted that only "a small portion" of such actions were documented in the federal government's Official Records of the War (the "O.R."). Enough was documented to shame any barbarian or civilized people. Wayne Carlson of Dublin, Virginia recently wrote:

It was actually Unionist armies, under generals like Sherman and Sheridan in Virginia that most closely resemble the murderous fanaticism we attribute to those we are presently slaughtering, referring to the Taliban and Al-Qaida ... [and that] these kinds of facts have been too long closeted in the dark shadows of Yankee self-righteousness.

The northern news media that survived Lincoln's period of media-cleansing, when he destroyed 325 presses, praised this new level of fanaticism and barbarism. Where are the unremitting condemnations that should be burning the government-controlled media airways from the lapdog press, the halls of Marxist academia, and our more gentle and ever more sensitive politicians who "feel our pain"?





On 9 October 1864 General Sherman wrote General Grant at City Point, Virginia: "Until we can repopulate Georgia, it is useless to occupy it, but the utter destruction of its roads, houses, and people will cripple their military resources.... I can make the march, and make Georgia howl." Genocide on a massive scale was the continuing war policy of the U.S. government.

U.S. General O.O. Howard on 16 October 1864 wrote: "They [his troops] took from women and children the last morsel of food. In some cases these things were done ... in a manner as if it were frolic."





Only mentally weak and twisted men, like Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin, set goals that make war on women, children and old men. General Sherman wrote to General Kilpatrick: "Let the people [civilians] know that the war is now against them.... It is petty nonsense for Wheeler and Beauregard and such vain heroes to talk of our warring against women and children. If they claim to be men they should defend their women and children and prevent us reaching their homes."





The Cherokee saw the South set-up its government without violence and without the suspension of civil law or the closing of civil courts. They observed that military power was "nowhere placed above civil authorities." No one was seized and put in prison by the arbitrary use of power. They saw a unanimous South exercising its right to self-government separating itself from a union with the Northern States. In the South they saw citizens voluntarily rising almost to the man to defend against the invasion of northern armies. They also observed that "nowhere has it been found [by the Confederates] necessary to compel men to serve or to enlist mercenaries by the offer of extraordinary bounties," as had been done by the U.S. They witnessed the process by which the North was hiring foreign mercenaries by the hundreds of thousands. In their Declaration of War on the United States signed 28 October 1861, in the Northern States they witnessed:

...with alarm a violated Constitution, all civil liberty put in peril, and all rules of civilized warfare and the dictates of common humanity and decency unhesitatingly disregarded.... Military despotism has displaced the civil power and the law became silent amid arms. Free speech and almost free thought became a crime. The right to the writ of habeas corpus, guaranteed by the Constitution, disappeared at the nod of a Secretary of State or a general of the lowest grade. The mandate of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court was set at naught by the military power, and this outrage on common right [common law] approved by a President sworn to support the Constitution. War on the largest scale was waged, and the immense bodies of troops called into the field in the absence of any law warranting it under the pretense of suppressing unlawful combination of men. The humanities of war, which even barbarians respect, were no longer thought worthy to be observed. Foreign mercenaries and the scum of [Northern] cities and the inmates of prisons were enlisted and organized into regiments and brigades and sent into Southern States to aid in subjugating a people struggling for freedom, to burn, to plunder, and to commit the basest of outrages on women; while the heels of armed tyranny trod upon the necks of Maryland and Missouri, and men of the highest character and position were incarcerated upon suspicion and without process of law in jails, in forts, and in prison-ships, and even women were imprisoned by the arbitrary order of a President and Cabinet ministers; while the press ceased to be free, the publication of newspapers was suspended and their issues seized and destroyed; the officers and men taken prisoners in battle were allowed to remain in captivity by the refusal of their Government to consent to an exchange of prisoners; as they had left their dead on more than one field of battle that had witnessed their defeat to be buried and their wounded to be cared for by Southern hands.

The war now raging is a war of Northern cupidity and fanaticism against the institution of African servitude; against the commercial freedom of the South, and against the political freedom of the States, and its objects are to annihilate the sovereignty of those States and utterly change the nature of the General Government.





These issues were clear to the Cherokees, Creeks, Seminoles, Choctaws, and Chickasaws, peoples called savages in the U.S. Constitution, in the first three months of the war. However, it seems to not be so clear to today's "defenders of democracy." By October of 1861 it had become universally clear whom the true savages were, an opinion shared by nearly all in civilized Europe and many of us now living.

I know the last one was long lol, but even if you skim it, you will see, that when the North came down here, they murdered women, children, and old people, and especially black folk. They pillaged homes and burned everything. They raped the women and slave women. They burned down crops as to starve us out, which is really what broke us, we were all hungry. Even in areas where there were no troops, they burned and pillaged. They wanted to starve us out, and make citizens beg for mercy. They drowned folks as to save ammo. They left their Yankee soldiers for captive down south, so as to make rations go even shorter. They cut off train lines and harbors, no supplies. They freed prisoners and hired foreigners, not to mention the draft. So many things.

But you are right, Irish were made slaves as well. But you dont hear complaining 150 years later.


They were indentured servants who eventually became free, most contracts being no longer than 7 years.  They weren't lifetime situations.



They didn't lose their children or spouses.  They weren't allowed, by law, to be mistreated.



You have a fantasy about slavery and the Civil War.

Mostly, but some were captive. Same with blacks, some captive, some indentured.



Actually, there were 10 codes in the South that made it a crime to mistreat a slave. They were allowed to be punished though, just not cruelly. If a master was convicted, a judge would allow them to be sold to a better master. To say that a slave wasnt treated badly in either the North or South, would be false, as there was some mistreatment. But saying that by law they were allowed to be mistreated, is also false.



A fantasy lol? Nah, I just know the truth.



I only fly the Confederate flag. But that does not make me less of a patriot. The original America was suppose to support states rights, Lincoln destroyed all that.

You are exactly right, the winner got to write the history, and at the same time, they wanted to make sure the "South rising again" would never happen again, so they had to depict the South as evil slave owning racists.



You are also right, that most folks accept the knowledge given to them in school, and that is the final word. Too lazy or stubborn to dig for the truth.



That is my purpose with this thread, to hopefully inform others of the truth, not just what is pushed down our throats in the public school system.



It is even MORE crucial now than ever, as the Confederate history is even more under attack now than before. I like to think this is mostly to do with Trump being president, at least thats my perspective on this. Because it wasnt til after he won, that all these Lefties started having a hissy fit, and they wanted to attack whitey. By attacking the Confederate monuments, they reinforce the idea of "evil white man" so as to pander to their fan base. Which in turn has an effect on Trump in the long run. Of course that is just a theory of mine. I dont recall monuments being attacked like this before Trump got elected.



I personally take great offense to the way they are being portrayed. The people that dont really know what happened down here, dont want to know, they just want to eradicate all existence of it. This is also why it is getting harder to find the truth, with so many folks simply parroting what they were taught in school, and the truth getting more and more buried. With what Northam has been doing, after being caught with his Blackface, is pandering to the blacks and folks in an uproar of the monuments. It has gotten me fired up, and wanting me to spread the truth even more. Im so ready to design some brochures of truth, and stand by a monument with my flag. Of course around here history is not buried as bad, as we are in the heart of an area that was scourged by the North, but over yonder where Northam and crew are, it is infested with Liberal lefties and snowflakes.

Also, in the south, they reenact battles that's why there are men waiting to do their roles in these reenactments. Are they also going to try to end these reenactments?

They are incredibly dumb. Consider the fraudulent SJWs bringing down the statue of an abolitionist who died while putting an end to slavery. God they are ignorant fools.

I hope they bring real ammo, and then let the thugs try and attack them lol. Although, I've seen the thugs passing out assault rifles out of their trunks, to teens that dont even know how to use them too.

David Emmons Johnston - Company D, 7th Virginia Infantry - wrote --



About 3 P. M. on the next day, Wednesday, July 5, 1865, four years, one month and twelve days from the day on which I had left for the war, I reached home—satisfied with my experience, with no more desire for war, yet proud of my record as a Confederate soldier, as I am to this day; with no apologies to make to anyone, as I, in common with my fellow soldiers, repudiate as unsound and baseless any charge of rebellion or treason in the war. We had resorted to the revolutionary right to establish separate government vouchsafed to us in the Declaration of Independence. I did not fight to destroy the government of the United States, nor for the perpetuation of the institution of slavery, for which I cared nothing, but did fight for four years of my young manhood for a principle I knew to be right. Had such not been true, I would not have risked my life, my all, therefor, nor have been a Virginia Confederate soldier.

I wonder how many Southerners are aware of the Confederacy's retreat to Brazil after the civil war.  


QuoteAfter the Civil War, thousands of defeated Southerners came to Brazil to self-exile in a country that still practiced slavery. For decades, their descendants have thrown a massive party that now attracts thousands of people to the twin cities of Americana and Santa Bárbara d'Oeste to celebrate all things Dixie. The Confederate flag? Everywhere.

I had forgotten about it to be honest. Good article.



I usually think of the Nazis going to Argentina, before I think of the Confederates moving to Brazil. I guess because most my family is buried here.



Those of us that fought for Virginia, stayed in Virginia, that Im aware of. I wonder which Southern states fled most to Brazil. Article says anywhere between 8,000 - 20,000 moved there.

Thought some of y'all might find this interesting reading. Its not the only things that happened in my area, but this was part of Hunter's Raid on our area during the Civil War. My neck of the woods.



(dont forget to click page 2 at the bottom of the article)



http://johnsmilitaryhistory.com/hunter.html



Also, at the beginning of the article, it mentions New Market, and with a link to that article. That took place just up the road too, where it also tells of the child cadets of VMI, standing up against the invading forces. A movie was made about them The Field of Lost Shoes, which was a good movie.

Skynard had so many good tunes.  Tuesday's Gone, Gimme Three Steps, Saturday Night Special, The Ballad of Curtis Loew, Cry For The Bad Man, That Smell, The Needle and the Spoon and on and on. The band took a very country turn when little brother, Johnny Van Zant took over. The Last Rebel is the best song from the reincarnated Skynard.

This was a sad read, in this day in history.......











A famous daughter of the South dies today

October 20, 1862

Robert E. Lee would lose his Sweet Annie



Who was Anne Carter "Annie" Lee



Anne, or Annie as she was called, was the second daughter and third child of General Robert E. Lee and his wife, Mary Anna Custis Lee She was born in 1839 at Arlington on a 10,000-acre plantation built by her grandfather. It would overlook the Potomac River and Washington, D.C

She would be the only child of the seven Lee children to die before her father.



Black-haired and pretty, Annie was the least outgoing of the four Lee girls and she was extremely attached to her father, as he was to her. She lost the sight in one eye due to an accident with a pair of scissors but she managed, despite continuing ill health



The spring1862

Union troops occupied the Lee family home in Arlington, VA,

Annie would be captured by Federal troops, along with her mother and her sister, Mildred. Upon Mrs. Lee's request, an exchange was made and she and her daughters were allowed (by the Union General McClellan)to pass back into Confederate territory where General Lee was personally waiting for them with open arms.



 Summer 1862,

Annie and her sister Agnes were sent to Jones Springs (also called White Sulphur Springs) outside of Warrenton, NC; it was a well-known resort at the time



The autumn of 1862

Annie would develop typhoid fever Despite desperate measures by family members, she died. This day Oct 20, 1862

Only 24 years old



Taking her body back to Arlington would require crossing Union lines, the owner of Jones Springs offered his family's cemetery for Annie to be buried; the family gratefully accepted.



General Lee never recovered from the grief of losing his "Annie".

One thing Lee really missed was Christmas with Anne. One of the big treats was after dinner she would go to the kitchen and make a special punch - Lee really loved that special time and after she died, around Christmas time one of Lee's aides found him crying. He was thinking about Anne and her punch that he'd never taste again.

She never passed the recipe on to anyone

The heart of a broken father and the memories of his Sweet Annie



In 1866

The family of Robert E. Lee and the people of Warren county raised $1,000 in support of erecting a monument. A Confederate soldier, Zearell Crowder, would create the towering an 11-foot obelisk and placed it at her grave in her honor.



 In 1870

Robert E. Lee visited the Annie Carter Lee monument without warning any local residents of his intent. This would be the last year of this great Generals life

It became a point of pride to North Carolina chapters of the Sons of Confederate Veterans for many years to come that his daughter was buried here and Robert E Lee came to town



In 1994

the monument would be damaged by vandals, the Lee family requested the body be moved to the Lee family crypt in Virginia. Local chapters of the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the Military Order of the Stars and Bars attempted to convince the family to leave the body where it was



Although obelisk was eventually repaired by the Sons at the cost of 4000

The family still choose to move the body They felt it would be better looked after in Virginia



And so this

famous daughter of the South

Is now next to her father who loved her so dearly

At the Lee Chapel and Museum in Lexington, Virginia.



The obelisk remains in the Jones Family Cemetery located on Annie Lee Road.



 A letter to Annie

Savannah, March 2, 1862



My Precious Annie: It has been a long time since I have written to you, but you have been constantly in my thoughts. I think of you all, separately and collectively, in the busy hours of the day and the silent hours of the night, and the recollection of each and every one whiles away the long night, in which my anxious thoughts drive away sleep.....

Robert E Lee



We remember this day

A lose to Robert E Lee

Of his daughter

And a piece of the heart forever missing

From this Ol General

His dear sweet Annie

This is why it made me so mad when they started (and still doing) pulling down monuments and changing names. They were not to honor slavery, they were to honor the men, women, and children that died fighting for their lives here.



But we got joogle celebrating National Transgender Week!  :oeudC:



Whatever, but to not honor brave and honorable people, it just annoys the piss outta me.







Btw, here in VA, in every county that held a vote by the citizens in this election, they were given the vote to either keep or remove a monument. All counties that were given a choice by the citizens, over 75-90% approval to keep 'em where they are.

Those people, are uninformed, and were brainwashed in the public school system.



Think about this, had the South laid down their arms, and rejoined the Union, they could of kept slaves. The Corwinn Amendment proves this.



And why is the South only accused, when the North had slaves, even after the Emancipation Proclamation. Its because Lincoln wanted the slaves to revolt in the South, but they didnt, and fought with their masters.



It was over states rights, and high taxes being imposed on the South, while the money went to build in the North.



I can go on and on, as you know lol.

"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!!!!!!!

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

As we prepare to ring in 2021

A New Years is coming...and a New decade



Understand what might or should be cooking in your Kitchen has Been a long Standing Southern Tradition with a sobering reminder to us all...

Enjoy a good bowl of black eye peas is one thing but know there meaning makes it that much better



A story that you might hear a lot as New Year is approaching. A story that should be retold and reminded to us every year



Why does Southerns eat Black Eye Peas on New Years Day?

What Is In Your Kitchen?



The story of the Southern tradition of eating black-eyed peas as the first meal on New Year's Day is generally believed to date back the winter of 1864 - 1865 during the later part of the of Southern Independence.



When Union General William T. Sherman led his invading troops on their destructive march through Georgia, the fields of black-eyed peas were largely left untouched because they were deemed fit only for animals.



 The Union foragers took everything, plunder the land, and left what they could not take burning or in shambles.

But one thing did remain the lonely peas and good Ol Southern salted pork.



As a result, the humble yet nourishing black-eyed pea saved surviving Southerners - mainly women, children and the disabled veterans of the Confederate army - from mass starvation and were thereafter regarded as a symbol of good luck.



The peas are said to represent good fortune. Certainly, the starving Southern families and soldiers were fortunate to have those meager supplies.



According to the tradition and folklore, the peas are served with several other dishes that symbolically represent good fortune, wealth and prosperity in the coming year. Some folks still traditionally cook the black-eyed peas with a silver dime in the pot as a symbol of good fortune.



Greens represent wealth and paper money. Any greens will do, but in the South, the most popular are collards, mustard greens, turnip greens, and boiled cabbage.



 Cornbread - a regular staple mean among Southerners in absence of wheat - symbolizes gold and is very good for soaking up the juice from the greens on the plate.

Good for dinner and in the morning with syrup



Pork symbolizes bountiful prosperity and then progressing into the year ahead. Ham and hog jowls are typical with the New Year meal, though sometimes bacon will work too.



Stewed tomatoes are often eaten with this meal as well. They represent health and wealth.



This is just of few of rich Southern New Year Traditions



I hope you reflect on those stories when you sit down at your family table this coming year



Enjoy this humble uniquely Southern meal every New Years Day. Be thankful for what this year did give you and better days that are coming ahead of you



It was what your Southern Kinfolk DID and reflected upon every year.

Time is coming to get the Southern Smell a cooking

In all things and Holidays keep true to your Southern Roots

I had neighbours from the Deep South, growing up...



Cornbread, fried chicken, black eyed peas, chitluns, collard greens, weird rice and beans combos.... chicken fried steak... every time they had a birthday party in the neighbourhood... I think they used those opportunities to toy with the Northerners.....and they were white rednecks, but as nice as can be....just proud of their heritage and a little bit cheeky.



Black family a few doors down had a mum who called us white devils to our faces and was really mean. Her oldest boy (my age) just wanted to play, but her youngest was a little racist cocksucker. I think the gossip at the time was the mum was a former Black Panthers groupie.



The rednecks always invited them to their block parties, but the bitch mum never attended or let the kids.



I've met heaps of southerners and northerners since, but I reckon southerners are less racist than northerners. Have had a few black and white southerners point that out to me, and it is often the case.



If I were to live in the US again, it would only be in the South.

That is all fine and good, but it is futile. It is 1984 in the US. You have de facto one party rule. There is no opposition, free speech is squashed, the constitution has been trampled, mass brainwashing of people like you who do not conform will begin. There will be consequences for not surrendering to totalitarianism.



My best advice, is to get the hell out of the US. Your country hates you. If you cannot surrender to the fascist scum in Washington, then you can either live as a persecuted man or you can keep your principles and leave. Personally, I would emigrate if I was you. There is no future for average people who do not suck progtard money's ass.

As much as I want to agree with you, that it is time for flight, Im a stubborn Scots Irish man, and I wont budge from my home land.



There is a song we do at the Old Time Jam, and I love that one lyric, "up on the Blue Ridge Mountains, there I make my stand. Pistol in my pocket, rifle in my hand." , you cant make me leave such a beautiful part of the country such as this, with such rich heritage.

The situation in the states today mirrors South Africa after fascist blacks took over the government. Things will get as bad for blue collar white Americans as they are for Aflfrikaaners.

Historical revisionism is all across the US. It's all across Canada too.



San Francisco Board Of Education's Document Arguing For School Renamings Is Riddled With Historical Errors

https://dailycaller.com/2021/01/29/san-fransisco-board-historical-errors/?utm_source=piano&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2360&pnespid=gOxqtKhAHRON4AeChqEFbf.7.xmJEq3.Ybbuu_QF



The San Francisco Board of Education announced that it would rename 44 schools due to racial sensitivity issues.

The schools include ones named for President Abraham Lincoln, Senator Dianne Feinstein, and inventor Thomas Edison.

The document explaining the removals makes clear historical errors in justifying the changes of at least eight of the names.

A document produced by the San Francisco Board of Education to justify renaming 44 different schools is riddled with spelling and historical errors.



The school board voted on Tuesday, Jan. 26, to change the names of schools honoring Abraham Lincoln, George Washington and Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein, among others. The move was criticized by San Francisco Mayor London Breed. "The fact that our kids aren't in school is what's driving inequity in our City. Not the name of a school," she said in a press release.

I have seen them with little brother Johnny, but let's face it, it's a tribute band. Seeing the early line-up with Ronnie- brother, that would be a dream come true.

April is Confederate History and Heritage Month in the Old Dominion, as well as in many states across the South. As part of the celebration, and in an effort to educate the citizens of the Commonwealth, we will present a Q&A each day, from a Confederate Catechism, by Lyon Gardiner Tyler, 1853-1935; the son of President, John Tyler, who also was a member of the Confederate congress. He was a professor of literature at the College of William and Mary, and served as President of the College of William and Mary from 1888 until 1919.



Day 1: What was the cause of secession in 1861?



It was the yoking together of two jarring nations having different interests which were repeatedly brought to the breaking point by selfish and unconstitutional acts of the North. The breaking point was nearly reached in 1786, when the North tried to give away the Mississippi River to Spain; in 1790, when the North by Congressional act forced the South to pay the Revolutionary debts of the North; in 1801, when they tried to upset the presidential ticket and make Aaron Burr President; and in 1828 and 1832, when they imposed upon the South high protective tariffs for the benefit of Northern manufacturers. The breaking point was finally reached in 1861, when after flagrant nullification of the Constitution by personal liberty laws and underground railroads, resulting in John Brown's assassinations, a Northern President was elected by strictly Northern votes upon a platform which announced the resolve never to submit to a decision of the highest court in the land. This decision (the Dred Scott Case, 1856), in permitting Southern men to go with their slaves into the Territories, gave no advantage to the South, as none of the territorial domain remaining was in any way fit for agriculture, but the South regarded the opposition to it of the Lincoln party as a determination on the part of the North to govern the Union thereafter by virtue of its numerical majority, without any regard whatever to constitutional limitations.

The literature of those times shows that such mutual and mortal hatred existed as in the language of Jefferson to "render separation preferable to eternal discord."

The bloodiest war in American history begins...

In order to coalesce the forces in the North, Lincoln had to stage an incident to inflame the populace, which he did. The firing on Sumter was by his own admission a setup for just such action. Lincoln was aware that provisioning Sumter could provoke a war.

Lincoln's letter to Gustavus Fox on 1 May, 1861, makes it clear that he was pleased by the result of the firing on Ft Sumter..." ...You and I both anticipated that the cause of the country would be advanced by making the attempt to provision Ft Sumter, even if it should fail; and it is no small consolation now to feel that our anticipation is justified by the result."

The "result" and the "cause of the country" that Lincoln wished to advance, was, of course, the war that the firing on Fort Sumter brought about. On July 3rd of that same year, Lincoln confided to Orville H. Browning, a close personal friend, about the plan to supply and reinforce Sumter and its actual intentions at the time:

"The plan succeeded. They attacked Sumter - and it fell, and thus did more service than it otherwise could."

Lincoln's biographers Nicolay and Hay reveal that, quote "When the President determined on war and with the purpose of making it appear that the South was the aggressor, he took measures..." WHEN THE PRESIDENT DETERMINED ON WAR!!! Who caused the first shot to be fired?

President Jefferson Davis later stated: "The order for the sending of the fleet was a declaration of war. The responsibility is on their shoulders, not on ours."

It is also by Commander Anderson's own writings that we know that Sumter was not "starving" or without the necessities of survival."

On this day in 1865 General A.P. Hill was K.I.A. scouting enemy positions. This flag was made by Hill's wife from the silks of her wedding gown and presented to the Gordonsville Grays along with the rest of the 13th Virginia Infantry.

James H. Keatts - Civil War Soldier & Father to 5 children ~ By: Noelle Woodcock

April is Confederate History Month and so for the rest of April we will be highlighting stories associated with the War Between the States and the veterans lives after the war as well.

Today I wanted to highlight a man by the name of James H. Keatts. I came across his name while I was looking through our database collection and I found a very touching story of a father and a daughters love for each other. According to family history James Keatts brought his daughter, Ida back a doll after he completed his service in the war and came home. His daughter was born during the war and so when he returned he wanted to bring her a gift. The doll is Civil War era and the stuffing is sawdust. Below is a little more information about James H. Keatts service and what his life was like before and after the war.

James H. Keatts married Sally W. Rorer January 19, 1846 in Pittsylvania, Virginia. By the 1850 Census he is 25 years old living with his wife who is also 25. They have two kids: Sally (1 year old) and John (1 month old).

On August 10, 1863 James enlists in Liberty, Virginia. His enlistment rank was private and he was apart of Company B, 10th Battalion, Artillery Regiment. On August 31, 1864 his muster roll lists him as being on guard.

In the 1870 Census he is 49 years old; living in Staunton, Bedford, Virginia and his occupation is a farmer. He has 5 children: John H. Jr. (20 years old); Sallie L. (18 years old); Eliza J. (16 years old); Samuel H. (14 years old); and Ida B. (7 years old).

According to a document I found on ancestry.com and from Bedford Villages Vol. 2, Page 267 James H. Keatts was appointed postmaster for White Rock, Bedford County, Virginia. The date he was appointed postmaster - October 25, 1875.

By the 1880 Census he is 60 years old and is still residing in Staunton, Bedford, Virginia. He makes his living by farming. His daughter Ida is 16 years old by this time.

Mr. Keatts dies December 31, 1892 in Bedford and he is buried with his military headstone in Huddleston, Bedford, Virginia.

Pretty much.



Btw, even though its the most popular these days, what everyone thinks is the Confederate flag, is actually the battle flag of Northern Virginia. Perhaps it got so popular cause it was the flag of Lee. And everyone loved Lee. Thus it became the flag of the South... Dixie land.

I believe this was the original, but it was easily confused for the Union flag, so they changed it.

The one everyone thinks is the flag, is the one flown by Lee. The Honorable Lee, a damn good man. That did not turn his back on the civilians when asked to attack them, and resigned the Union army, and joined the South.

Skynyrd calls the Confederate flag, the Dixie flag.


Pretty much.



Btw, even though its the most popular these days, what everyone thinks is the Confederate flag, is actually the battle flag of Northern Virginia. Perhaps it got so popular cause it was the flag of Lee. And everyone loved Lee. Thus it became the flag of the South... Dixie land.

Can you post a picture of the original Confederate flag?


I believe this was the original, but it was easily confused for the Union flag, so they changed it.

There is a local museum here that has the center one.



I know the Lee flag is based on the cross of St. Andrews, because of the heavy Scots Irish influence in the area.

Southerners looking for evidence that the Confederacy was a Christian nation needed to look no further than their Constitution. Unlike the U.S. Constitution, which does not mention God, the preamble of the Constitution of the Confederate States of America made a direct appeal to "Almighty God":



We, the people of the Confederate States, each State acting in its sovereign and independent character, in order to form a permanent and federal government, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessing of liberty to ourselves and our posterity—invoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God—do ordain and establish this Constitution for the Confederate States of America.

Jim Limber became the first Black

American to be a member of a

Presidential family in February 1864,

when Confederate States President

Jefferson Davis adopted him, after

rescuing the 8 year-old orphan from being

mistreated at a Black foster home in

Richmond.

Davis registered free papers on Jim

and he played with the other Davis

children in the Confederate White House

during Lincoln's War. It was not

uncommon in the Old South for Blacks to

take in orphaned Whites or Whites to take

in orphaned Blacks.

Meanwhile, Abraham Lincoln was

shipping 500 Free Blacks to poverty-

stricken Haiti, after telling Black leaders

on August 14, 1862: "There is an

unwillingness on the part of our people

(Northern Whites) for you free Colored

people to remain with us. It is better for

us both, therefore, to be separated."

Lincoln did not want to live with

Blacks, slave or free, but Jefferson Davis

enjoyed the friendship and fellowship of

Blacks, both slave and free.

The Confederate States Army was one of the most diversified Armies in the

world with Black, White, Native Americans, Hispanics, Protestants, Catholics

and Jews fighting side by side against Wall Street's oppressive tax collectors.

April 9th 1865 Lee surrenders

We lost are country and the right of self government.

160 years later the South is still being subjugated at the hands of centralized Yankee despoted government. But I will always still fight the cause for which they fought and never forget their memory.

 Never Forget  Deo Vindice.





Headquarters, Army of Northern Virginia, 10th April 1865.



General Order

No. 9





 After four years of arduous service marked by unsurpassed courage and fortitude, the Army of Northern Virginia has been compelled to yield to overwhelming numbers and resources.



I need not tell the survivors of so many hard fought battles, who have remained steadfast to the last, that I have consented to the result from no distrust of them.

But feeling that valour and devotion could accomplish nothing that could compensate for the loss that must have attended the continuance of the contest, I have determined to avoid the useless sacrifice of those whose past services have endeared them to their countrymen.

By the terms of the agreement, officers and men can return to their homes and remain until exchanged. You will take with you the satisfaction that proceeds from the consciousness of duty faithfully performed, and I earnestly pray that a merciful God will extend to you his blessing and protection.

 With an unceasing admiration of your constancy and devotion to your Country, and a grateful remembrance of your kind and generous consideration for myself, I bid you an affectionate farewell.

April 9th 1865 Lee surrenders

We lost are country and the right of self government.

160 years later the South is still being subjugated at the hands of centralized Yankee despoted government. But I will always still fight the cause for which they fought and never forget their memory.

 Never Forget  Deo Vindice.





Headquarters, Army of Northern Virginia, 10th April 1865.



General Order

No. 9





 After four years of arduous service marked by unsurpassed courage and fortitude, the Army of Northern Virginia has been compelled to yield to overwhelming numbers and resources.



I need not tell the survivors of so many hard fought battles, who have remained steadfast to the last, that I have consented to the result from no distrust of them.

But feeling that valour and devotion could accomplish nothing that could compensate for the loss that must have attended the continuance of the contest, I have determined to avoid the useless sacrifice of those whose past services have endeared them to their countrymen.

By the terms of the agreement, officers and men can return to their homes and remain until exchanged. You will take with you the satisfaction that proceeds from the consciousness of duty faithfully performed, and I earnestly pray that a merciful God will extend to you his blessing and protection.

 With an unceasing admiration of your constancy and devotion to your Country, and a grateful remembrance of your kind and generous consideration for myself, I bid you an affectionate farewell.







— R. E. Lee, General, General Order No. 9

I'll place my knapsack on my back

My rifle on my shoulder

I'll march away to the firing line

And kill that Yankee soldier

And kill that Yankee soldier

I'll march away to the firing line

And kill that Yankee soldier

 

I'll bid farewell to my wife and child

Farewell to my aged mother

And go and join in the bloody strife

Till this cruel war is over

Till this cruel war is over

I'll go and join in the bloody strife

Till this cruel war is over

 

If I am shot on the battlefield

And I should not recover

Oh, who will protect my wife and child

And care for my aged mother

And care for my aged mother

Oh, who will protect my wife and child

And care for my aged mother

 

And if our Southern cause is lost

And Southern rights denied us

We'll be ground beneath the tyrant's heel

For our demands of justice

For our demands of justice

We'll be ground beneath the tyrant's heel

For our demands of justice

 

Before the South shall bow her head

Before the tyrants harm us

I'll give my all to the Southern cause

And die in the Southern army

And die in the Southern army

I'll give my all to the Southern cause

And die in the Southern army

 

If I must die for my home and land

My spirit will not falter

Oh, here's my heart and here's my hand

Upon my country's altar

Upon my country's altar

Oh, here's my heart and here's my hand

Upon my country's altar

 

Then Heaven be with us in the strife

Be with the Southern soldier

We'll drive the mercenary horde

Beyond our Southern border

Beyond our Southern border

We'll drive the mercenary horde

Beyond our Southern border

 

So, I'll place my knapsack on my back

My rifle on my shoulder

I'll march away to the firing line

And kill that Yankee soldier

And kill that Yankee soldier

I'll march away to the firing line

And kill that Yankee soldier

Believe me I understand. The thing is, we wanted peace, to be simply left alone. We legally seceded. It was when the North invaded the South, killing civilians, that caused the Southerners to kill the Yankees, the ones that invaded. The Yankees were raping the women, killing old people, children and black folk, and burning crops and livestock to starve us out. Destroying the salt mines that preserved the meat. Looting. You name it. All illegal what they done. Horrendous and evil. All for money.



Now you know, why I despise the name Yankee. In the land of Dixie, them are fighting words.



Pay attention to the other lyrics, how they "left their wife and child" and "who will care for my aging mother". Calling the North "tyrants", and "fighting for justice". "Heaven be with us". Sounds familiar doesnt it?



They were fighting for the same cause as our forefathers in 1776.

Belle Boyd

Only 17 years old when the Civil War began, by early 1862 Belle Boyd of Martinsburg (now West Virginia) and her activities were well known to the Union Army and the press, who dubbed her La Belle Rebelle. While visiting relatives whose home in Front Royal, Virginia was being used as a Union headquarters, Boyd learned that Union General Nathaniel Banks' forces had been ordered to march.

She rode fifteen miles to inform Confederate General Stonewall Jackson who was nearby in the Shenandoah Valley. She returned home under cover of darkness. Several weeks later, on May 23, 1862, when she realized Jackson was about to attack Front Royal, she ran onto the battlefield to provide the General with last minute information about the Union troop dispositions. Jackson captured the town and acknowledged her contribution and her bravery in a personal note.

Boyd was arrested several times, but managed to avoid incarceration until July 29, 1862, when she was imprisoned in Old Capitol Prison in Washington, DC, but was released after a month. She was arrested again in July 1863, after which she devised a unique method of communicating with her supporters outside. They shot rubber balls into her cell with a bow and arrow; she then enclosed messages inside the balls and threw them back.

In December 1863 Boyd was released and banished to the South. She sailed for England on May 8, 1864, but was arrested again as a Confederate courier. She finally escaped to Canada with the help of a Union naval officer, Lieutenant Sam Hardinge, and eventually made her way to England where she and Hardinge were married. Boyd later wrote of her wartime activities, "I allowed but one thought to keep possession of my mind - the thought that I was doing all a woman could do for her country's cause."

A View of the Yankee People by a Confederate officer captured at Gettysburg, writing to some friends on another subject when his mind turned to the Yankees.





"They believed their manners and customs more enlightened, their intelligence and culture immeasurably superior. Brim-full of hypocritical and puritan ideas, they preach, pray and whine. The most parsimonious of wretches, they extol charity; the most inveterate blasphemers, they are the readiest exporters; the worst of dastards, they are the most shameless boasters; the most selfish of man, they are the most blatant philanthropists; the blackest-hearted hypocrites, they are religious fanatics. They are agitators and schemers, braggarts and deceivers, swindlers and extortioners, and yet pretend to be of Godliness, truth, purity and humanity. The shibboleth of their faith is, "The union must and shall be preserved", and they hold on to this with all the obstinacy peculiar to their nature. They say that we are a benighted people, and are trying to pull down that which God himself built up. "Many of these bigots express great astonishment at finding the majority of our men could read and write; they have actually been educated to regard the Southern people as grossly illiterate, and little better than savages.

To me, he was saying how biased the North was, according to what he saw and heard. He also said how not all were like that, but a majority were.



This is his opinion.



From what I've gathered from the internet, a lot in the North were very sympathetic of the Southern Cause, but you were punished if you did so, or tried to join them or help them in any way.



Lincoln closed up newspapers, because he didnt want truths getting out. Does that not sound like what we have going on today?



Try rereading what that man wrote.... and imagine it as a modern Libertarian talking about today's Democrats. You might see some similarities.



In fact, a LOT of what the South left for, are the things exactly going on today.

"You have chosen to inaugurate civil war, and having done so, we will meet it in a spirit as determined as the Administration has exhibited toward the South."



On this day, April 16, 1861...



"I received your telegram of the 15th, the genuineness of which I doubted. Since that time I have received your communication, mailed the same day, in which I am requested to detach from the militia of the State of Virginia 'the quota designated in the table' which you append, 'to serve as infantry or riflemen for the period of three months, unless sooner discharged.'



In reply to this communication I have only to say that the militia of Virginia will not be furnished to the powers at Washington for any such use or purpose as they have in view. Your object is to subjugate the Southern States, and a requisition made upon me for such an object--an object, in my judgement, not within the purview of the Constitution or the act of 1795--will not be complied with. You have chosen to inaugurate civil war, and having done so, we will meet it in a spirit as determined as the Administration has exhibited toward the South."

John Letcher, Governor of Virginia, to Cameron, 16 April 1861

Oh this is a good story.......





"HOLD YOUR HEAD UP AND DIE HARD"

via Connie Latta



Known during the Civil War as Private Bill Thompson, Lucy Matilda Thompson Gauss cut her thick hair and disguised herself by wearing her husband's suit and boarded a train for Virginia to fight alongside him during the early years of the Civil War. He never survived the war; but, "Private Bill" did and brought his body home for burial.



Lucy Matilda Thompson was born November 21, 1812 in Bladenboro, North Carolina. She was tall and masculine -- though not without feminine charm -- and she was a deft horsewoman, expert with a rifle and relished hunting.

In 1861, just as the war erupted, Thompson married Bryant Gauss who soon joined the Army of the Confederacy. Fearing he would be killed and lie unidentified, the new Mrs. Gauss oiled her squirrel musket and enlisted in Company D, 18th North Carolina Infantry, Confederate States of America. Neighbors and friends sympathized with her bravery and kept her identity secret. So did Captain Robert Tate and Lieutenant Wiley Sykes, who admired her ability with a rifle, her talent for jokes as well as her husky throated singing voice. They also prized her skill to nurse the camp's sick and wounded.



Masquerading as Private Bill Thompson, Lucy participated in a number of battles, receiving a head wound either at the First Battle of Manassas or the Siege of Richmond. In any case the wound -- an iron shell scrap tore open her scalp from forehead to crown -- sent her to a hospital for two months. Somehow she managed to conceal her identity and fled back to her unit as soon as she could.



Bryant Gauss was killed at the Seven Days Battle near Richmond. Lucy Gauss obtained permanent furlough and took him for burial. She bore her first child, Mary Caroline Gauss, on January 21, 1864.



After the war, the widow and small child moved to Savannah, where in late 1866, Lucy Gauss married union army veteran, Joseph P. Kenney. Together they had six children. Remarkably, Mrs. Kenney gave birth to their first at the age of 55 in 1868, and the last in 1881 at the age of 69!



Lucy Matilda Gauss Kenney kept her military exploits a secret until 1914, when she told her story to her pastor. Fearing nothing at the age of 102 but God, Lucy's motto was "Hold your head up and die hard."



She lived in various parts of Georgia before she died in Nicholls, Georgia at the remarkable age of 112 years, 7 months and 2 days. Lucy Gauss Kenney is buried in the Meeks Cemetery near Nicholls. Joseph Kenney died September 7, 1913 at the age of 107 years 5 months and 1 day.

WHY NO CONFEDERATE LEADER WAS EVER BROUGHT TO TRIAL...



The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in a privately delivered opinion said. "If you bring these leaders to trial it will condemn the north, for by the Constitution, secession is not rebellion." Lincoln appointee Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase, July 1867 (Foote, The Civil War, Vol. 3, p. 765)



The government appointed three separate attorneys to take on the case against Jefferson Davis, but all three eventually declined when they decided the case was "doomed to failure." The following quote is attributed to one of those attorneys. "Gentleman, the Supreme Court of the United States will have to acquit that man under the Constitution, when it will be proven to the world, that the north waged an unconstitutional warfare against the south."



President Johnson was prepared to offer Davis a pardon in order to avoid embarrassment. Davis refused a pardon on the grounds that, to accept a pardon is to admit guilt. Davis wanted a trial to settle the issue of secession, once and for all, in a court of law.

President Johnson chose to give amnesty to the entire south, Davis included, thereby shelving the issue, unresolved to this day.

Slavery was a universally accepted practice at one time. Some ignorant Americans act like their country was the only one that had slavery.

The statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, which was the focal point of the deadly 2017 Charlottesville riots, will be melted down by a black heritage center in town and turned into public art.

April is Confederate History and Heritage Month in the Old Dominion, as well as in many states across the South. As part of the celebration, and in an effort to educate the citizens of the Commonwealth, we will present a Q&A each day, from a Confederate Catechism, by Lyon Gardiner Tyler, 1853-1935; the son of President, John Tyler, who also was a member of the Confederate congress. He was a professor of literature at the College of William and Mary, and served as President of the College of William and Mary from 1888 until 1919.





Did the South in firing on Fort Sumter begin the war?



No. Various hostile acts had been committed before this took place. The first hostile act was committed by the Federal government when Major Robert Anderson secretly removed his garrison at night from Fort Moultrie, a weak fort in Charleston harbor, to Fort Sumter, a very strong fort. Shortly after, the government, under James Buchanan, sent the Star of the West with troops and supplies to Fort Sumter, but she was driven off. If South Carolina had a right to secede, she had a right to all the public buildings upon her territory, saving her responsibility for the cost of construction, which she readily recognized. She took over Fort Moultrie and other buildings and she was joined by other Southern States. Nevertheless no one was hurt, there was no war, and Virginia interposed with her Peace Conference, originated and presided over by John Tyler.



After Lincoln came in, the peace apparently continued for four or five weeks, but secretly Lincoln took means to bring on war.. Despite the assurances of Seward, the Secretary of State, assurances made with Lincoln's full knowledge,* that the status would not be disturbed at Fort Pickens, and in violation of a truce existing there between the Federals and Confederates, Lincoln sent secret orders for the landing of troops, but Adams, the Federal commander of the squadron before Fort Pickens, refused to land the troops, declaring that it would be a breach of faith to do so, and that it would bring on war. This was before Sumter was fired on, and Fort Sumter was fired on only when an armed squadron, prepared, also with great secrecy, was dispatched with troops to supply that fort also.



But firing upon Fort Sumter did not in any case necessarily mean war. No one was hurt by the firing, and Lincoln knew that all the Confederates wanted was a fort that commanded the Metropolitan city of South Carolina - a fort which had been erected for the defense of that city. He knew that they had no desire to engage in a war with the United States. Not every hostile act justifies war, and in the World War this country submitted to having its flag filled full of holes and scores of its citizens destroyed before it went to war. Lincoln, without any violation of his views of government, had an obvious alternative in putting the question of war up to Congress, which could have been called in ten days. But he did not do it, and assumed the powers of Congress in making laws, besides enforcing them as an executive. By his mere authority he enormously increased the Federal army, marched it to the South, blockaded Southern ports, and declared Southern privateersmen pirates. Every clause of Jefferson's tremendous indictment against King George in 1776 was true of Lincoln in 1861-1865.

Canada is doomed. I've given up on this country. It's not worth giving a fuck anymore. So, I concentrate on things I can make a difference and that is my family.

I feel for Canada, and the US. The thing is, they have so many plants in place. To the point, they think they can get away with whatever, and know we think they can. It aint right, and cant continue. The people have to regain their own countries again. We are all living in tyranny!

"The fact that one army was fighting for union and the other for disunion is a political expression; the actual fact on the battlefield, in the face of cannon and musket, was that the Federal troops came as invaders and the Southern troops stood as defenders of their homes, and further than this we need not go."

"If they (the North) prevail, the whole character of the Government will be changed, and instead of a federal republic, the common agent of sovereign and independent States, we shall have a central despotism, with the notion of States forever abolished, deriving its powers from the will, and shaping its policy according to the wishes, of a numerical majority of the people; we shall have, in other words, a supreme, irresponsible democracy. The Government does not now recognize itself as an ordinance of God, and when all the checks and balances of the Constitution are gone, we may easily figure to ourselves the career and the destiny of this godless monster of democratic absolutism. The progress of regulated liberty on this continent will be arrested, anarchy will soon succeed, and the end will be a military despotism, which preserves order by the sacrifice of the last vestige of liberty.



They are now fighting the battle of despotism. They have put their Constitution under their feet; they have annulled its most sacred provisions; The future fortunes of our children, and of this continent, would then be determined by a tyranny which has no parallel in history."



— Dr. James Henly Thornwell of South Carolina, in "Our Danger and our Duty", 1862

Major William Simpson Dunlop, 12th South Carolina Infantry, writing of the Confederate soldier --



"They fought for principle and not for pay -- for home rule, local self government, constitutional liberty—against aggression, paternalism and Federal domination. And while their cause went down under the "arbitrament of the sword," no court of justice or equity has ever adjudicated against their claims. They were grand soldiers, and they were right."

Wade Hampton -- Warrenton, Virginia June 23, 1883



"When our Divine Master perished on the cross, did the doctrines for which he died perish with him? We believe we have truth on our side; let us then assert and maintain our faith, and God will in His own good time make it manifest that we were right. If we were wrong in our struggle, then was the Declaration of Independence in '76 a terrible mistake, and the revolution to which it led a palpable crime; Washington should be stigmatised as traitor, and Benedict Arnold canonised as patriot. If the principles which justified the first revolution were true in 1776, they were no less true in that of 1861. The success of the former can add not one jot or tittle to the abstract truth of the principles which gave it birth, nor can the failure of the latter destroy one particle of those ever-living principles. If Washington was a patriot, Lee cannot have been a rebel; if the grand enunciation of the truths of the Declaration of Independence made Jefferson immortal, the observance of them cannot make Davis a traitor."

To the dispatch from the War Department, Gov. LETCHER made this reply:



EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.RICHMOND, Va., April 16, 1861.

HON. SIMON CAMERON, Secretary of War:



SIR: I received your telegram of the 15th, the genuineness of which I doubted. Since that time (have received your communication, mailed the same day, in which I am requested to detach from the militia of the State of Virginia "the quota designated in a table," which you append, "to serve as infantry or riflemen for the period of three months, unless sooner discharged."



In reply to this communication, I have only to say that the militia of Virginia will not be furnished to the powers at Washington for any such use or purpose as they have in view. Your object is to subjugate the Southern States, and a requisition made upon me for such an object -- an object, in my judgment, not within the purview of the Constitution or the act of 1795 -- will not be complied with. You have chosen to inaugurate civil war, and having done so, we will meet it in a spirit as determined as the Administration has exhibited towards the South. Respectfully

But Thiel, they fought for the same their forefathers did, less than 100 years prior. Thats why a lot of Southern soldiers wore Revolutionary War period clothing that their kin had wore.

The first nonmythical, historical woman to appear on any paper currency within our current borders was not on a U.S. bill but rather on Confederate money: "Queen of the Confederacy" Lucy Holcombe Pickens (and South Carolina's first lady) was portrayed on Confederate $1 bills of 1862 and 1863 and the $100 bill of 1862 through 1864.



In other words, contrary to news reports, Lucy Pickens was actually the first woman to be depicted on paper money issued in America, and not Pocahontas Harriet Tubman or Martha Washington.

"We feel that our cause is just and holy; we protest solemnly in the face of mankind that we desire peace at any sacrifice save that of honour and independence; we ask no conquest, no aggrandizement, no concession of any kind from the States with which we were lately confederated; all we ask is to be let alone; that those who never held power over us shall not now attempt our subjugation by arms." -- Jefferson Davis - April 29, 1861

And it is a special day!!!!!!









<I>>Virginia State Flag Day

April 30, 2022

161st Year Anniversary





Whereas, on July 5th, 1776, Virginia officially adopted it's Great Seal – and the motto -

"Sic Semper Tyrannis" by Constitutional Convention. The original design was the work of a committee composed of George Mason, George Wythe, Richard Henry Lee and Robert Carter Nicholas; and





Whereas, April 30th, 1861, the Virginia Convention passed ordinance No. 33 -- An ORDINANCE to establish a Flag for this Commonwealth:

Be it ordained by the convention of the commonwealth of Virginia, that the flag of this commonwealth shall hereafter be made of bunting, which shall be a deep blue field with a circle of white in the centre, upon which shall be painted or embroidered, to show on both sides alike, the coat of arms of the state, as described by the convention of seventeen hundred and seventy-six, for one side of the seal of state, to wit: "Virtus, the genius of the commonwealth, dressed like an Amazon, resting on a spear with one hand, and holding a sword in other, and treading on tyranny, represented by a man prostrate, a crown fallen from his head, a broken chain in his left hand and a scourge in his right. In the exergon the word Virginia over the head of Virtus, and underneath the words "Sic Semper Tyrannis." This flag shall be known and respected as the flag of Virginia; and



Whereas,

The motto "Sic Semper Tyrannis" means "Thus Always to Tyrants." This quote is attributed to Brutus during the assassination of Julius Ceasar in Rome; and



Whereas,

Cassye Bonner Gravely penned the state flag salute that was officially adopted on March 15th, 1954 which reads:

 "I salute the flag of Virginia, with reverence and patriotic devotion to the "Mother of States and Statesmen" which it represents - the "Old Dominion," where liberty and independence were born"; and



Whereas, April 30th, 2011 marks the sesquicentennial of the adoption of the Virginia State Flag - and every April 30th is to be officially recognized as "Virginia State Flag Day"<e></e></I>

Some of my ancestors joined the Saratoga Campaign around 1777 and escorted supply chains to upstate New York.



Some of them arrived in 1647 to Massachusetts.



Some of them raped and pillaged throughout England, Ireland, and Scotland as well as modern day France, Denmark, Germany, and Spain.



But I don't give a fuck...



We're meant to be related to Isaac Newton... and some third in line English princess who got her marching orders and had to flee...



I don't care.



If I buried my dick in you and a kid popped out, it would just be another genealogy hassle.

I would like to have your que sera sera outlook. But, I own and operate a business and people count on me.


I may not "own" the place I work at, but I WORK that bitch!!! I fucking RUN that bitch!!!! I grab that shit by the horns, and RIDE it!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!



........after coffee of course.

You haven't been able to find a job closer to home Blazor?



Fuel is so expensive right now.


Yes it is.



Hard to part from a job of over 12 years. Wish it was closer.

I understand that..



I remember you posting that you thought they would close down.
