The South

THE SOUTH WAS RIGHT!

Some Background:

The South seceded from the Union shortly after Lincoln’s election. The election of Lincoln assured that the South had NO representation in the Federal government because Congress, the Senate, and now the Presidency was squarely in the hands of the northern Republicans. Lincoln was not even on the Southern ballots.

(That's when the Democrat party was the God fearing South and not the Godless, baby killing Communists they are now)

It was a power move by the northern Republicans and the South declared secession after exhaustive efforts for representation.

The Constitution gives any state the right to secede any time it wants to if it feels that it is being misrepresented.

The Declaration of Independence was a document of SECESSION!

THE SOUTH WAS RIGHT!!!

And Lincoln even (although the time frame seems a bit dubios) addressed the topic of secssion on the floor of Congress when he said: "Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government and to form one that suits them better" There is more but that is the "readers digest version" of what he said.

Then the fucking hypocrite was elected President and attacked the South! More about this asshole below:

Let's Talk About Slavery:

Abraham Linclon: Lincoln was not the savoir of the black race that you have been brainwashed to believe. His main goal in the “War Between the States” was to keep the union together. He didn’t believe in slavery, neither did Robert E. Lee by the way, but he would have allowed slavery if the South would have rescinded it’s declaration of separation.

In a letter to Horace Greeley Lincoln said:

My paramount objective is to save the union and not either destroy or save slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing the slaves I would do it. If I could save the Union by freeing some and leaving others in slavery, I would do it. If I could save it by freeing all, I would do that. What I do about slavery and the colored race, I do because it helps save the Union.

In a speech in Charleston, Illinois in 1858 Linclon said:

I am not now, nor ever been in favor of bringing about in any way the social or political equality of the white and black races. I am not now, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor intermarriages with white people. There is a physical difference between the races which will forever forbid the two races living together on social or political equality. There must be a position of superior and inferior, and I am in favor of assigning the superior position to the white man.

Real liberal huh?

Facts about Slavery:

1) The only state that made it a felony to buy a slave was Virginia.

2) The only colony to forbid slavery was Georgia.

3) Virginia legislature voted against slavery 32 times.

4) No southern man ever owned a slave ship, commanded a slave ship, or went to Africa to acquire slaves.

5) The LAST state to legislate against slavery was Massachusetts.

6) The last slave ship to sail from the US was the Nightingale from Massachusetts in 1861.

7) A statute establishing “Perpetual Slavery” (that’s never ending for you liberals) was adopted by Massachusetts.

8) The first state to vote in favor of the slave trade was….you guessed it….Massachusetts.

9) The first state to urge a fugitive slave law was…..of course….Massachusetts.

10) And finally (but certainly not the last example available), Thomas Jefferson, of Virginia, urged that the Declaration of Independence include a clause that forbid slavery. John Adams of…lol…Massachusetts, urged that the clause be omitted!

The last reference for this point is extracted from a speech that Linclon gave at Peoria, Illinois, in which he stated:

“The point that the Republican party wanted to stress was to oppose making slave states out of the newly acquired territory, not abolishing slavery as it then existed.

Lincoln didn’t give a shit about slavery. He wanted to preserve the union….period.

Slavery existed in the north long after it was abolished in the south. Blacks as well as whites owned slaves. Black slave owners were called “freemen”.

While researching the northern invasion of the state of Louisiana I ran upon some writings of northern generals and field commanders concerning the occupation of the South. In one of these readings a Union general (his name escapes me now) said that he was saddened by the “inhuman” way that the northern soldiers treated their southern brethren. That was his term not mine.

I have found documents describing the treatment of Southern POW's by Union soilders. It was stated that black Union soilders would shoot through tents that housed Southern POW's out of pure meanness. Confederate soldiers as well as civilians were starved, beaten, robbed, raped, and had to exist in conditions not even suitable for animals. The Union was wrong. They committed hideous war crimes against their own people. And we must never forget it. NEVER!

Now the northern whites are crying because the south lost the war. They stand by, afraid to even object, as they watch their children being engulfed by other races and cultures knowing that their blood-line and heritage is lost forever. Serves those traitors right.

A Tribute to Lee and Jackson

A TRIBUTE TO LEE & JACKSON

By Pastor Chuck Baldwin

January 20, 2006

NewsWithViews.com

January is often referred to as "Generals Month" as no less than four famous Confederate Generals claimed January as their birth month: James Longstreet (Jan. 8, 1821), Robert E. Lee (Jan. 19, 1807), Thomas Jonathan Jackson (Jan. 21, 1824), and George Pickett (Jan. 28, 1825). Two of these men, Lee and Jackson, are especially noteworthy.

Without question, Robert E. Lee and "Stonewall" Jackson were two of the greatest military leaders of all time. Even more, the Lee and Jackson tandem is regarded by many military historians as having formed perhaps the greatest battlefield duo in the history of warfare. If Jackson had survived the battle of Chancellorsville, it is very possible that the South would have prevailed at Gettysburg and perhaps would even have won the War Between the States.

In fact, it was Lord Roberts, commander-in-chief of the British armies in the early twentieth century, who said, "In my opinion, Stonewall Jackson was one of the greatest natural military geniuses the world ever saw. I will go even further than that-as a campaigner in the field, he never had a superior. In some respects, I doubt whether he ever had an equal."

While the strategies and circumstances of the War of Northern Aggression can (and will) be debated by professionals and laymen alike, one fact is undeniable: Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. Jackson were two of the finest Christian gentlemen this country has ever produced! Both their character and their conduct were beyond reproach.

Unlike his northern counterpart, Ulysses S. Grant, General Lee never sanctioned or condoned slavery. Upon inheriting slaves from his deceased father-in-law, Lee immediately freed them. And according to historians, Jackson enjoyed a familial relationship with those few slaves which were in his home. In addition, unlike Abraham Lincoln and U.S. Grant, neither Lee nor Jackson ever spoke disparagingly of the black race.

As those who are familiar with history know, General Grant and his wife held personal slaves before and during the War Between The States, and even Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation did not free them. They were not freed until the Thirteenth Amendment was passed after the conclusion of the war. Grant's excuse for not freeing his slaves was that "good help is so hard to come by these days."

Of course, Lincoln's views on slavery and the black race are widely known (at least by those familiar with history). In fact, if Lincoln were alive today, he would no doubt be identified as a white supremacist.

For example, in an 1858 debate Lincoln said, "I will say, then, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races, that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people, and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together, there must be the position of superior and inferior. I, as much as any other man, am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race." Lincoln routinely made such comments.

Contrast the sentiments of Lincoln and Grant to those of Robert E. Lee and Thomas Jackson. For example, it is well established that Jackson regularly conducted a Sunday School class for black children. This was a ministry he took very seriously. As a result, he was dearly loved and appreciated by the children and their parents.

Furthermore, both Jackson and Lee emphatically supported the abolition of slavery. In fact, Lee called slavery "a moral and political evil." He also said "the best men in the South" opposed it and welcomed its demise. Jackson said he wished to see "the shackles struck from every slave."

To think that Lee and Jackson (and the vast majority of Confederate soldiers) would fight and die to preserve an institution they considered evil and abhorrent is the height of absurdity! It is equally repugnant to impugn and denigrate the memory of these remarkable Christian gentlemen!

In fact, after refusing Abraham Lincoln's offer to command the Union Army in 1861, Robert E. Lee wrote to his sister on April 20 of that year to explain his decision. In the letter he wrote, "With all my devotion to the Union and the feeling of loyalty and duty as an American citizen, I have not been able to make up my mind to raise my hand against my relatives, my children, my home. I therefore have resigned my commission in the army and save in defense of my native state, with the sincere hope that my poor services may never be needed."

Lee's decision to resign his commission with the Union Army must have been the most difficult decision of his life. Remember that Lee's direct ancestors had fought in America's War for Independence. His father, Henry Lee, "Light Horse Harry," was a Revolutionary War hero, governor of Virginia, and member of Congress. In addition, members of his family were signatories to the Declaration of Independence.

Remember, too, that not only did Robert E. Lee graduate from West Point at the top of his class, he is yet today the only cadet to graduate from that prestigious academy without a single demerit!

However, Lee knew that what Lincoln was about to do was both immoral and unconstitutional. As a man of honor and integrity, the only thing Lee could do was that which his father had done: fight for freedom and independence. And that is exactly what he did.

Instead of allowing a politically correct culture to sully the memory of Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. Jackson, all Americans should hold them in a place of highest honor and respect. Anything less is a disservice to history and a disgrace to the principles of truth and integrity.
