Genl Jackson's Valley Campaign and a DAMN good explanation of why the First Brigade is known to history as "Jackson's Foot Cavalry". Those cats marched like 40 miles a day.

Second Manassas. Sometimes when out of ammunition our men threw rocks at the yankees.

All are familiar with General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard's victory over his former artillery professor at hudson high school Major Robert Anderson on 13 April 1861. On 7 April 1863 the US Navy tried to capture Charleston and Fort Sumter with 9 ironclad warships mounting the heaviest guns ever used, to that time, in the history of naval warfare. The result was a two hour and 40 minute engagement and one of the worst defeats in the history of the US Navy.The Monitor U.S.S. Keokuk, which was named for a city in Iowa and because of that fact should have been able to turn three back flips and land at the Four Corners of Law (corner of Broad and Meeting streets)and demand the surrender of the city, was sunk. The other 8 ironclads were severely damaged.

To close out Confederate History Month and since those that think they know have tried hard to besmirch The Cause and 30 November 1864 in particular.....Captain Tod Carter sums up the reason for the War in his dying words. If Southern Blood flows through your veins and this doesn't move you please move north.

"The principle, on which the war was waged by the north, is simply this: That men may be rightfully compelled to submit to, and support, a government they do not want; and that resistance, on their part, makes them traitors and criminals. No principle, that is possible to be named, can be more self-evidently false than this; or more self-evidently fatal to all political freedom. Yet it triumphed in the field, and is now assumed to be established. If it really be established, the number of slaves, instead of being diminished by the war, has been greatly increased; for a man, thus subjected to a government he does not want, is a slave. And there is no difference, in principle, only in degree between political and chattel slavery. The former, no less than the latter, denies a man's ownership of himself and the products of his labor, and asserts that other men may own him, and dispose of him and his property, for their uses, and at their pleasure."
Lysander Spooner

"Nothing fills me with a greater sadness than to see a Southern Man apologizing for the defense we made of our inheritance. Our Cause was so just, so sacred, that had I known all that has come to pass, had I known all that has been inflicted upon me, all that my country was to suffer, all that our posterity was to endure, I would do it all over again."
President Jefferson Davis

Seriously, dude, you just compared being forced to, as a result of being thumped in a war, being part of the US to be the same as the lot in life Black people had being stuck in the bonds of slavery? So you fight a war to maintain slavery, and then afterwards you think you are in slavery? Apparently very few neurons are firing on your part.

Although, considering that you have advocated that slavery wasn't bad, and was in fact a great way to live, it's odd that you would post something that would instead cast a bad light on slavery.

What about Mr. Spooner's statement is not true? You really are a zombie.

OUR peculiar institution, I say OUR because you identify with the State of Delaware a State who practiced this domestic institution, was a stain upon THIS WHOLE NATION. Practiced IN ALL 13 COLONIES and the trade perpetrated by THE NORTHEASTERN STATES FOR PROFIT yet only the South is vilified for its existence.
The Southern People fought a war for independence and to maintain the rights guaranteed to them by the founding documents of the 'late united states'.

May is not Confederate History Month

[Appaholic]

The Southern People lost a war to maintain slavery due to a failure of figuring out how to get the slaves to fight their battle without arming them.....and then who would make their beds if they did figure that out? All the el cid grads were off running in flight from combat as well....
