Book excerpt: The author believes that "there is an epidemic of hate and fear sweeping the land, a wave of hostility and intolerance that shows no sign of slowing or stopping: its fury is directed at Southern symbols--flags, monuments, and other displays--in fact everything Southern now appears to be a target ... [He argues that] Southern people are growing weary of the ongoing demonization--of being bullied and harassed--and have begun to realize that Confederaphobia is not a matter of monuments, but a campaign to expunge their identity. If you are a self-identified Southerner, you are a potential target"--Amazon.com.
Book Synopsis It Wasn't About Slavery by : Samuel W. Mitcham
Download or read book It Wasn't About Slavery written by Samuel W. Mitcham and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Lie of the Civil War If you think the Civil War was fought to end slavery, you’ve been duped. In fact, as distinguished military historian Samuel Mitcham argues in his provocative new book, It Wasn’t About Slavery, no political party advocated freeing the slaves in the presidential election of 1860. The Republican Party platform opposed the expansion of slavery to the western states, but it did not embrace abolition. The real cause of the war was a dispute over money and self-determination. Before the Civil War, the South financed most of the federal government—because the federal government was funded by tariffs, which were paid disproportionately by the agricultural South that imported manufactured goods. Yet, most federal government spending and subsidies benefited the North. The South wanted a more limited federal government and lower tariffs—the ideals of Thomas Jefferson—and when the South could not get that, it opted for independence. Lincoln was unprepared when the Southern states seceded, and force was the only way to bring them—and their tariff money—back. That was the real cause of the war. A well-documented and compelling read by a master historian, It Wasn’t About Slavery will change the way you think about Abraham Lincoln, the Emancipation Proclamation, and the cause and legacy of America’s momentous Civil War.
Book Synopsis Epidemic of Joy by : Randal Earl Denny
Download or read book Epidemic of Joy written by Randal Earl Denny and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2007-05-01 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Randal Denny began a devotional study in the Book of Acts with 'Do It Again, Lord' (Acts 1-4), 'Where the Action Is' (Acts 5-8), 'Wind in the Rigging' (Acts 9-12), and continued it with this volume. This book is about joy, a certain kind of joy that comes from deep down inside--the joy of the new life in Christ. E. Stanley Jones noted, "A strange, sober joy went across that sad and decaying world--joy that goodness was here for the asking, that moral victory was possible now, that guilt could be lifted from the stricken conscience, that inner conflict could be resolved . . . and that a fellowship of like-souled persons gave one a sense of belonging. It was Good News. And it worked! Acts 13 through 16, the scope of this study, traces the beginnings of that "epidemic of joy, which spread so rapidly and so extensively that it has reached us today.
Book Synopsis When the Yankees Come by : Paul C. Graham
Download or read book When the Yankees Come written by Paul C. Graham and published by . This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MANY AMERICANS BELIEVE that the coming of the blue soldiers of the North, emissaries of emancipation, was a joyful event for African Americans. Nothing could be further from the truth. How do we know this? Because we have their recorded accounts.Ending slavery, contrary to self-congratulatory American myth, was not a righteous crusade. It was a byproduct of a brutal war of conquest and invasion-a total war against civilians in which black Southerners suffered as much if not more than whites. The devastation of the people's resources in large areas of the South left African Americans as well as Southern whites suffering and sometimes starving. For many, it was an experience of fear, disruption of life, and cruel uncertainty about their future, to which the liberators had given no thought.The material gathered by Paul C. Graham makes this clear. Of late, Americans have had a taste for history by theory: the War Between the States was "about" slavery. A better understanding comes from seeing what the people who were there have to say about it. Such an approach to history as human experience can be both informative and enlightening.This book expands and replaces Graham's previous version of When the Yankees Come and includes selections from both North and South Carolina Slave Narratives.
Book Synopsis Dixie Rising by : James Ronald Kennedy
Download or read book Dixie Rising written by James Ronald Kennedy and published by . This book was released on 2017-02-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the publication of their bestseller classic THE SOUTH WAS RIGHT! in 1994, the brothers James Ronald Kennedy and Walter Donald Kennedy have been recognized spokesmen for the South. By the South they do not mean a political position or a collection of quaint attitudes. Southerners are a people-and as a people have a right to be governed by their free consent. But "at no time since Appomattox have the freedom, the heritage, and the culture of the South been under greater attack." The Southern people are in a struggle for their existence as a people. If things continue as they have been, we will lose. In DIXIE RISING: RULES FOR REBELS the Kennedys propose nothing less than a radical change of approach to the struggle-an approach that discards the losing game of conventional politics. This book is a field manual for what they call "irregular political warfare." DIXIE RISING provides the tools by which activists can change the current situation and move towards restoring the original Constitutional federal union of self-governing States that our forefathers established. If such a program succeeds, it will be a boon not only to Southerners but to all freedom-loving Americans.
Book Synopsis Searching for Black Confederates by : Kevin M. Levin
Download or read book Searching for Black Confederates written by Kevin M. Levin and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2019-08-09 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 150 years after the end of the Civil War, scores of websites, articles, and organizations repeat claims that anywhere between 500 and 100,000 free and enslaved African Americans fought willingly as soldiers in the Confederate army. But as Kevin M. Levin argues in this carefully researched book, such claims would have shocked anyone who served in the army during the war itself. Levin explains that imprecise contemporary accounts, poorly understood primary-source material, and other misrepresentations helped fuel the rise of the black Confederate myth. Moreover, Levin shows that belief in the existence of black Confederate soldiers largely originated in the 1970s, a period that witnessed both a significant shift in how Americans remembered the Civil War and a rising backlash against African Americans' gains in civil rights and other realms. Levin also investigates the roles that African Americans actually performed in the Confederate army, including personal body servants and forced laborers. He demonstrates that regardless of the dangers these men faced in camp, on the march, and on the battlefield, their legal status remained unchanged. Even long after the guns fell silent, Confederate veterans and other writers remembered these men as former slaves and not as soldiers, an important reminder that how the war is remembered often runs counter to history.

Download or read book Yankee Empire written by James R. Kennedy and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-31 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1866, the year after the War for Southern Independence, General Robert E. Lee reflected on the results of the war. Responding to a British historian, he wrote that he feared that the U.S. would now follow the path of all consolidated governments. It would become "aggressive abroad and despotic at home." It was as accurate a prophecy as has ever been made. "Unfortunately, for the people of the South and the world," write the Kennedys in their latest groundbreaking book, "General Lee's prediction has become our reality."The South was the first "captive nation" of the Yankee Empire. The authors show, with chapter and verse, how that empire of greed and phony moralism, after the conquest of Dixie, became continuingly "aggressive abroad," bringing the U.S. to its now imperial posture. The Kennedys' work in YANKEE EMPIRE is inspired by the history and condition of their Southern homeland, but it is stunningly "relevant" reading for anyone concerned about the dubious role of the U.S. in the world today. The Kennedys continue to be the bravest and most eloquent defenders of the South in their many books. This work ranks with their best-selling THE SOUTH WAS RIGHT! and their recently published PUNISHED WITH POVERTY, as an original and compelling revision of American history.
Book Synopsis Lies My Teacher Told Me by : Clyde Wilson
Download or read book Lies My Teacher Told Me written by Clyde Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2016-01-07 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this hard-hitting collection of 4 essays, Dr Wilson cuts straight to the chase: YOU WERE LIED TO! You were lied to about the nature, character, and cause of the American "Civil War," but that is just the start. The entire South-its people, culture, history, customs, both past and present-has been and continues to be lied about and demonized by the unholy trinity of the American establishment: Academia, Hollywood, and the Media. In the midst of the anti-South hysteria currently infecting the American psyche-the banning of flags, charges of hate and "racism," the removal and attempted removal of Confederate monuments, the renaming of schools, vandalism of monuments and property displaying the Confederate Battle Flag, and even physical assaults, albeit rarely at present, on people who display the symbols of the South-Shotwell Publishing offers this unapologetic, unreconstructed, pro-South book with the hope that it will reach those who are left that are not afraid to question the sanity of this cultural purge and the veracity of its narrative concerning the South.

Book Synopsis A Southern View of the Invasion of the Southern States and War of 1861-65 by : Samuel A’Court Ashe
Download or read book A Southern View of the Invasion of the Southern States and War of 1861-65 written by Samuel A’Court Ashe and published by Ravenio Books. This book was released on with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally there was no connection between the settlements along the coast. In 1776 they held a meeting and declared their separation from England and asserted that each State was a free, independent and sovereign State; and by a treaty of peace, that was admitted by England. In 1781 the States entered into a confederacy and again declared the independence and sovereignty of each State. In 1788 a union was proposed to go into effect between any nine States that ratified the Constitution. Eleven States ratified the Constitution and it went into operation between them. George Washington was elected President of the eleven States. In ratifying that Constitution Virginia and New York particularly affirmed that the people of any State had a right to withdraw from the Union, and there was general assent to that claim, and it was taught in the text book at West Point. There arose at various times differences between the Southern States and the Northern States but all these were peaceably settled except as to African slavery. For some cause South Carolina seceded in December, 1860, and presently was joined by six other Southern States. Neither Congress nor the President took any action against these States. But at length Congress passed a measure proposing that the States should amend the Constitution and prohibit Congress from interfering with Negro slavery in any State, with the expectation that such an amendment would lead the seceded States to return. Presently the new President was led to deny the right of a State to withdraw from the Union, and he started a war against the seceded States and called on the other States to furnish troops for his war. When North Carolina and Virginia and other Southern States were called on to furnish troops to fight the seceded States, North Carolina said, “You can get no soldiers from this State to fight your unholy war,” and North Carolina withdrew from the Union and so did Virginia and two other States. Then the Supreme Court in a case before it declared that under the Constitution the President had no right to make war and the Constitution did not give Congress the right to make war on any State. So it mentioned the war as one between the Northern and Southern States and said the right of the matter in dispute was to be determined by the “wager of battle,” thus ignoring the light and justice of the claim in dispute. And so the Northern States conquered those that had seceded. This book contains the following chapters: 1. The Slave Trade 2. Steps Leading to War 3. Nullification, North and South 4. The States Made the Union 5. Nullification, North and South 6. Ratification of the Constitution by Virginia, New York, and Rhode Island 7.

Conditions Just After the War 19. The War Between the Northern States and the Southern States 20. Speech of Jefferson Davis at Mississippi City, Mississippi in 1881
Book Synopsis Causes of the Civil War by : Philip Leigh
Download or read book Causes of the Civil War written by Philip Leigh and published by Shotwell Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2020-09-26 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE PRESENTLY DOMINANT NARRATIVE about Civil War causes is the work of historians obsessed with social activism instead o historical facts. They point to the 13th, 14th and 15th postbellum amendments as proof that the North was fighting to provide slaves with an honorable freedom but deny that the increase in tariffs from 19% before the war before to an average of 45% for fifty years thereafter reflected a Northern war aim. They hold Southern secession responsible for the war but fail to teach that the Northeastern states threatened to secede five times between 1789 and 1850. They also decline to note that Southern secession need not have led to war. Southerners had no purpose to overthrow the Washington government, they merely wanted a government of their own. Northerners could have evacuated Fort Sumter and let the first seven cotton states depart in peace thereby avoiding the war. Modern historians normally focus on the reasons the cotton states seceded instead of examining the economic reasons Northerner chose to militarily coerce them back into the Union thereby inaugurating civil war. The Republican Party could have stopped the spread of slavery peacefully by endorsing Popular Sovereignty during the 1860 presidential election. After Kansas used it to reject slavery in an 1858 local-option vote, nearly every politico realized that the doctrine would quarantine slavery in the South. If Popular Sovereignty could not make a slave state out of Kansas, it could not do it in any of the remaining 1860 Federal territories. Republicans rejected the doctrine simply to survive as an independent Party because Lincoln's two chief opposing presidential candidates supported it. Beyond what Poplar Sovereignty would have gained, the Republican ban added nothing except to inflame the sectional passions that led to civil war. * * * * * "Philip Leigh does not hesitate to challenge what Voltaire called 'The propaganda of the victorious. This work is not to be missed by any who are interested in the truth." - H. V. Traywick Author: Empire of the Owls and Virginia Iliad "Philip Leigh's new book gives readers hard, historical, economic facts showing that the causes of the American Civil War date back decades and were multi-layered. Read this book if you want a full understanding of what the war was really about." - Clint Johnson Author: Tin Cans and Greyhounds and The Politically Incorrect Guide to the South "For two generations mainline historians have taught that Southerners committed treason by seceding and virtuous Northerners invaded the South to abolish slavery. For many of America's elite this so-called truth has enabled them to support, or stand silent, as Confederate memorials are vandalized or removed. Phil Leigh's new book shows that the thesis is simply untrue." - Don Livingston, Ph.D. Author: Hume's Philosophy of Common Life and Philosophical Melancholy and Delirium: Hume's Pathology of Philosophy
Book Synopsis Blow Ye the Trumpet in Zion by : James M. Volo
Download or read book Blow Ye the Trumpet in Zion written by James M. Volo and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-03-02 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There were many roles assigned to religion by the faithful during the long sweep of American history. During the Civil War, the God of the Old Testament seemed at times to be a war with the God of the New! The God-fearing and the god-less seemed to be recruiting battalions for a culture war. The similarities between the situation in Antebellum America and the United States today are striking for any honest observer. Many of the contentious cultural issues faced in the 21st century have roots in the Civil War Era — race relations, ethnic diversity, immigration, education, civil governance, women's rights, and the nature of marriage and childrearing among others. In almost every case a widespread and unremitting contempt for established authority coupled with a libertarian leave-me-alone mind-set seems best to unify many of the cross-generational attitudes toward government and religion passed down throughout our histories. This book has been written for those persons interested in not only the Civil War but also in the religious culture of the Antebellum Era that affected it
Book Synopsis Punished with Poverty by : James R. Kennedy
Download or read book Punished with Poverty written by James R. Kennedy and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the authors of The South was Right! comes a new edition of what one historian calls one of the most important and original histories of the Southern people. Punished with Poverty tells the unvarnished story of the intentional policy of economic devastation and exploitation of the South which has affected all Southerners, both black and white, long after the close of the "Civil War" and "Reconstruction." In fact, the sad legacy of these punitive policies continues to this very day. The over-arching theme of Southern history is not Race, as is conventionally stated, but Poverty-poverty not due to the South's shortcomings, but imposed on them by the system under which they live.Punished with Poverty is a timely and much needed contribution to the understanding of both the South and the nature of the "Federal Empire" under which all Americans now live.

Book Synopsis Emancipation Hell by : Kirkpatrick Sale
Download or read book Emancipation Hell written by Kirkpatrick Sale and published by . This book was released on 2015-12-11 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emancipation-freeing the slaves-Hell? The Emancipation Proclamation-one of the sacred icons of American history-a tragedy? How can this be?That was the opinion of Frederick Douglass, the most important African American leader of the 19th century, who proclaimed, "I denounce the so-called Emancipation." Douglass wrote: "I admit that the Negro...has made little progress from barbarism to civilization, and that he is in a deplorable condition since his emancipation. That he is worse off in many respects, than when he was a slave, I am compelled to admit..." Indeed, social statistics of 1900 indicate that material quality of life was lower for most black Americans than under slavery.Kirkpatrick Sale marshals much forgotten evidence to cast this glorious part of American history in a realistic and critical light. Emancipation, yes. But as a military measure during a cruel war of invasion? Slavery once existed throughout the Western Hemisphere, but almost everywhere except the United States, it ended peacefully. Emancipation with no thought or plan for the unprecedented situation to be managed? With no real sympathy or interest in the people freed except their usefulness in controlling and exploiting the conquered South? (Some Northern leaders denounced the Proclamation as an atrocity and an estimated 200,000 Northerners deserted or evaded service in a war for African Americans rather than for the "Union.") Perhaps never in history, Kirkpatrick Sale demonstrates, has a benevolent act been so tainted with impure motives and disdain of consequences. Abraham Lincoln has a lot to answer for, says the author. His flawed proclamation doomed Americans to a century and a half of racial conflict and disparity that is still with us.NOTE: This is AUTHORIZED REISSUE of Kirkpatrick Sale's 2012 self-published book Emancipation Hell: The Tragedy Wrought by the Emancipation Proclamation 150 Years Ago.This title is enrolled in Kindle MatchBook. $0.99 if print edition is purchased on Amazon.
Book Synopsis Old Times There Should Not Be Forgotten: Cultural Genocide in Dixie by : Leslie R. Tucker
Download or read book Old Times There Should Not Be Forgotten: Cultural Genocide in Dixie written by Leslie R. Tucker and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-03 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HISTORIAN DR. LESLIE R. TUCKER has thought long and hard about the injustice of the current jihad in America against the historic and still existing Southern people. The result is this careful, candidly unreconstructed review of the history of the South which rejects the "freeing the slaves" interpretation of the War Between the States and demonstrates forcefully that Southerners have little for which to apologise and certainly less than our fervid critics. Leslie R. Tucker, Ph.D. is an Oklahoman. He is the author of Major General Isaac Ridgeway Trimble: A Biography of a Baltimore Confederate; Brigadier General John Adams, CSA: A Biography; Magnolias and Cornbread: An Outline of Southern History for Unreconstructed Southerners; and Tribulations of an Old Hippy: One Confused Neo-Confederate Existentialist Baby Boomer.
Book Synopsis When Rebel Was Cool by : James R. Kennedy
Download or read book When Rebel Was Cool written by James R. Kennedy and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-10 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was a time when many in the South were celebrating the centennial of the "Civil War." Schools across the South made special efforts to teach lessons about the "War." Southern States celebrated the heroism of its Confederate soldiers and in 1959 the last Confederate veteran died. President Eisenhower, Chairman of the Civil War Centennial Commission, noted the death as an occasion for national mourning. Confederate flags, tags and bumper stickers were common sights across Dixie. It was also a time when many in the South were making strides toward a color-blind society, a society where people would be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. It was a time when the Dixie Division was a part of the U.S. Army. A unit that proudly displayed its Confederate heritage. A time when the Confederate flag was proudly associated with Southern patriotism and fidelity to the U.S.A.; the country that had invaded and destroyed our Southern homeland. It was a time very much unlike our own. It was a time WHEN REBEL WAS COOL! The Kennedy Twins are the South's most prolific pro-Southern authors. Their story of growing up in Dixie is typical of those who were raised in the intentionally impoverished rural South. This book demonstrates that while Yankees (and scalawag Southerners) get their history from books written by Yankees to glorify Yankee heroes and ideas-Southerners get our history from our family. To them history is not past-it lives in family stories about relatives who wore the gray in the War for Southern Independence.
