YANKEE ATROCITIES, HYPOCRISY, unCivil War

[Nelson]

Jack Kershaw is a wizened old (!) gentleman who, as you're about to see,wields a magnificent pen in defense of the Truth. He's an attorney and sculptor most famous, perhaps, for Nathan Bedford Forrest Memorial Park

.......where his sculpture of the General horrifies tens of thousands of PC nerds as they whip along I-65 near Nashville each day. (The park is on private land, so there's nothing the new world orderlies can do about it!)


Through SHNV just now is this beautiful essayby Compatriot Kershaw on the WBTS, reparations and much else. Note the gracious yet powerful verbal style—that of generations born before the World War Jew era, when everything went to the frenetic and vulgar.


Here's the link for the essay -- the music and visuals really add to the effect! I'm printing the whole piece here not in plagiarism but in case it should ever disappear from its present location (as have so many ultimate truth-gems).

REPARATIONS
for the Whole South


by Jack Kershaw


Reparations for past wrongs still present is a commendable concept, but reparations are not due merely for one select group; they are due for the South as a whole – not only Blacks and Whites, but Asians, Hispanics and Native Americans as well.


Reparations are Due


Real and palpable damages were done to the South by ruthless invaders, who from 1860 to 1865 were burning both mansion and cabin, destroying food and sustenance not only of soldiers, but of non-combatants – a unique class in time of war, who were protected by the International Law of Nations, as observed by the civilized world of the day, and also by this nation’s Executive Order Number 100, better known as the Lieber Code. For these damages, reparations are due and payable.


Reparations for slavery is a short-sighted idea. It is groundless, narrow-minded, self-centered, divisive, and in a word, racist.


In an insane rush to demonize slavery, the black activist of today fails to recognize, as did Arnold Toynbee, that slavery in the South was different from all other slave systems known in the world. The Egyptians, the Romans, the Greeks, the various European slavers working the Caribbean – all denied the masters’ religion and worship to the slaves.


In the South, the door to Christian redemption was opened wide, and the black servitors were invited in as brothers and sisters in Christ. They went to the same church, and looked forward to the same Heaven and Hell. Under such a structure, an extended family comprising both slaves and masters evolved, and eventual freedom was made inevitable.


Today the Christian Church is the strongest institution of American blacks. It was born on the plantation of the ante-bellum South. All of this was nearly destroyed by the fanatic abolitionists with their cries of “Freedom Now!” They were concerned not with the ultimate welfare of the slaves, but with feeding their own self-righteous claims to superior morality and sweet sensitivity.


It was on this pious wave of Puritan abolitionist sanctity that the Northeastern industrialists launched forces of imperial invasion and domination of the South. Free the slaves, save their souls, and capture a colonial market – all in one stroke of the Puritan whip. A nice piece of business. Abolition of slavery was not the “cause” of the war. It was the excuse, the vehicle by which power was sought and ruthlessly obtained.


War Crimes Against The South


General Sherman was an equal-opportunity destroyer. He burnt the mansion and the cabin; the smokehouse as well as the barn and cattle; the henhouse along with the hens. He meant for all mouths to be equally hungry – black and white craws to be starved equally. And after the war of “emancipation,” his noble warriors galloped off to the West to finish off the Indians. General Sheridan bragged that he had cleansed Shenandoah so that black birds and white birds had to carry a fly-over lunch. General Sherman said, “About twenty percent of our activity in Georgia was directed against possible military objectives; the rest (80%) was simple waste and destruction.” The destruction work of Northern invasion forces was specifically approved by President Lincoln and General Halleck, Commander-in-Chief of all Northern forces.


Genocide


Early on the U.S. Congress enacted the Confiscation Act of 1861. It provided for the confiscation of property in the South on a wholesale basis, as well as the confiscation and freeing of slaves held by Confederate masters – but not the slaves of the many slaveholders in border states who remained supporters of the Union. They could keep their slaves, and in fact could rent them out to the Union Army for a profit. The Emancipation Act of 1863 did not improve matters. It freed only the “other man’s” slaves, not the slaves in states under Federal occupation.


In sum, it was estimated in Congress that the Confiscation Act assessed the property, personal and real, of all Southerners who in any way supported the South – a population in excess of six million people – and property worth what Jefferson Davis referred to as “five thousand million dollars.” This is larceny on a grand scale, and it was planned from the very beginning of the War. Forget righteous indignation about slavery; forget the Constitution; forget the Law of Nations. We are talking about money. This is one of the most lucrative cases of theft in world history.


The U.S. Congress in 1865 passed a measure which read in part:


Rebel prisoners in our hands are to be subjected to a treatment finding its parallels only in the context of savage tribes and resulting in the death of a multitudes by the slow but designed process of starvation and by mortal diseases occasioned by insufficient and unhealthy food and wanton exposure of their persons to the inclemency of the weather.
H.R. 97, JAN. 1865
This is a declaration of genocide.


At first reading it seems unbelievable. But the shame is that from this Congress, this body of men, it is not only believable, it’s the truth, as revealed in practice; Northern war-time prisons were instruments of torture, disease and starvation.


We must in turn, however, strictly refrain from asserting or implying that all Northerners sympathized with this hysteria. They did not. There was indeed a wide and significant sympathy for the ideal of local self-government, and letting the South leave in peace. This sentiment, however, was ruthlessly suppressed.


President Lincoln arbitrarily shut down over 300 Northern newspapers that questioned the war of attrition waged against a people who simply wanted to exercise the right of self-determination. Many thousands of dissidents in the North were imprisoned after short shrift before Military courts. The Writ of Habeas Corpus was suspended. People were imprisoned for indefinite periods, without being charged, defended, or tried.


Root, Hog, or Die!


Lincoln performed as a dictator. His object was Power. Nothing more and nothing less.


As a result, the South and all its people were devastated. The most prosperous and richest culture on the continent was ruined by Union forces, much as Carthage was ruined by the Romans. There was no Marshall Plan. There was only twelve years of military occupation, combined with the ruthless manipulation of black people for the sole purpose of garnering their mass vote to support the Northern engine of power determined to transform our Republic into an imperial Union.


The single greatest disservice to blacks was by fanatic abolitionists, who yanked the slaves from the Southern farms, where they enjoyed our first Social Security system, nurtured and protected from the cradle to the grave. They were dumped totally unprepared for the duties of citizenship into the perils of an indifferent world. Abrupt “freedom” was much more perilous than slavery itself. It meant literally, “freedom to starve.” Or in Lincoln’s immortal words: “Root, hog, or die.”


Fortunately, the Southern blacks and Southern whites were able to work together to devise a plan of sharing labor and land on equal shares – now fashionably denigrated as “sharecropping.” It saved the South and the entire country. It was a solution devised by the people; as such it was subject to the vicissitudes of human nature, but largely, it worked – perhaps because the helping hand of Reconstruction was mercifully withdrawn in 1877.


Our Demands


NOW THEREFORE, IN THE NAME OF ALL THE PEOPLES OF THE SOUTH, WE DEMAND REPARATIONS.


WE DEMAND REPARATIONS for the razing and burning of Atlanta, Georgia, Columbia, South Carolina, Staunton, Virginia, Mound City, Arkansas, Randolf, Tennessee, Meridian, Mississippi, Saint Francisville, Louisiana, Edenton, North Carolina, Selma, Alabama, Belmont, Missouri, Jackson, Florida, and more than forty other towns and cities from one end of the South to the other. A pall of frozen horror descends over our eyes when we realize that not one of these abodes of peace and civilization was destroyed in battle. All were destroyed out of sheer cruelty and petty vengeance. These acts were nothing less than war crimes – deliberate and evil attacks upon domestic civilians, their homes, their crops, their livestock, and their businesses.


WE DEMAND REPARATIONS for the countless hundreds of homes burnt to the ground by Northern troops under General Sherman. Whether they be mansion houses or slave quarters, simple farmhouses or city residences – all were stripped bare of valuables, then put to the torch by Yankee troops under the approving gaze of their officers.


WE DEMAND REPARATIONS for the black people left on the wrong side of the alligator-infested Ogeechee River of Georgia by Sherman’s jeering troops, as they pulled up the pontoon bridge and marched away in the dead of winter, deaf to the cries and pleas of the men, women and children left to die in the swamps.


WE DEMAND REPARATIONS for the descendants of General Benton Smith, who, while standing helpless as a prisoner of war, was savagely attacked by a federal officer with a saber, laying open his skull to expose his brain. A pathetic remnant of his former self, General Smith lived until 1923, half in and half out of mental institution.


WE DEMAND REPARATIONS for the “Women of Roswell” – factory workers in the town of Roswell, Georgia, who were forced to abandon their families and move forever to the North, where nothing was heard of them again, except for one, a pitiful wreck of a woman who was found by her husband many years later, in far-off Arizona.


WE DEMAND REPARATIONS for the family of Colonel William Shy, found by his mother in a field in Nashville, naked and impaled to a shattered tree with a bullet hole in his brow, still stained by powder burns. We know the federal officer who committed this war crime. Colonel Shy had no descendants. He was a man of tender years, unmarried, and all his family-to-be died with him.


WE DEMAND REPARATIONS for the thousands of prisoners of war who were tortured, beaten and starved to death in the federal prisons at Point Lookout, Maryland, and Elmira, New York, where a deliberate policy of reprisal was followed, for the alleged suffering of prisoners at Andersonville, Georgia.


Heinous, Atrocious & Cruel


General Sherman deliberately cut the railroad line that served Andersonville and stripped the heart of Georgia of food that could have been sent to that prison. Federal officers of the highest rank refused to allow exchange of prisoners, because free prisoners would not only relieve the South of the duty to maintain them, but they knew the Northern soldiers would not re-enlist, and Southern soldiers would. They would not allow medicine to be sent to the prison, knowing the Southerners did not have any. The North sacrificed their own soldiers to their policy of savage reprisal and war by attrition. General Sherman forgot about the prisoners at Andersonville. He was too intent on his program for the South, which he described to General Halleck:


The United States has the right, and the power, to penetrate to every part of the national domain.... We will remove and destroy every obstacle – if need be, take every life, every acre of land, every particle of property, everything that to us seems proper.


It did not seem “proper” to General Sherman to send a small detachment of cavalry to Andersonville to rescue his soldiers in prison. He was too busy a few miles away “taking every life, every particle of property” to be bothered. It didn’t fit his “plan.”


The South did release 15,000 prisoners to the North late in the War. In return, the North released not one single prisoner.


The Leiber Code


As a substitute for the Law of Nations, the North had Professor Francis Leiber draw up some “Rules of War” which addressed the moral problems of what they called “The Civil War.”


The Leiber Code was adopted by Lincoln on April 24, 1863, in the form of General Order Number 100. It placed certain obligations on United Stated armed forces in what it called “regular war.” Humane restraint is ordered in exemplary and admirable language. For instance, Section I, Article 4 provides:


As Martial Law is executed by military force, it is incumbent on those who administer it to be strictly guided by the principles of justice, honor and humanity – virtues adorning a soldier even more than other men for the very reason that he possesses the power of his arms against the unarmed.
We, as quondam citizens of good ole’ U.S. of A., bask in a warm self-righteous glow of contemplation, as we are “guided by the principles of justice, honor and humanity.” But we lay them down by the events at Ogeechee River or the prison in Elmira, New York, and we begin to wonder, “How did the U.S.A. stray so far?”


Part of the answer is that good ole’ Abe and Professor Leiber didn’t consider the “Civil War” to be a “regular war.” It was a war against “traitors” and “rebels,” and the humane-sounding rules didn’t apply to these inferior beings. In this irregular war, non-combatants could be expelled, imprisoned, fined and even shot as disloyal traitors.


Section X Article 153 in the Leiber Code declares:


Treating captured rebels as prisoners of war, exchanging them, concluding of cartels, capitulations, or other warlike agreements with them; addressing officers of a rebel army by the rank they may have in the same; accepting flags of truce; or, on the other hand, proclaiming Martial Law in their territory, or levying war-taxes or forced loans; or doing any other act sanctioned or demanded by the law and usages of public war between sovereign belligerents [doing all of these things], neither proves nor establishes an acknowledgement of the rebellious people, or of the government which they may have erected, as a public or sovereign power. Nor does the adoption of the rules of war toward rebels imply an engagement with them extending beyond the limits of these rules. It is victory in the field that ends the strife and settles the future relations between the contending parties.


Resistance is Treason


In straightforward English, Lincoln and Leiber are saying we don’t recognize you as actual living humans, therefore any observance of protocol on our part is a matter of expediency only. “It is victory in the field that ends the strife and settles the future relations.” Any obligations the North may have seemed to have felt were purely pro forma steps to “victory,” after which only the rules of expediency apply – no holds barred.


If force is the ultimate solution, then why do we have the Leiber Code? Or any rule at all? The commander has utterly arbitrary power. That is the rule of the invader Yankee. The last article of their Code (#157) says it all:


Armed or unarmed resistance by citizens of the U.S. against the lawful movement of their troops is levying war against the U.S. and is therefore treason.
It was Yankee propaganda that Southerners could not secede in peace; we were declared rebels and traitors, and shot at will. No due process. No witnesses. No jury. Sections 2 and 3 of Article III of the Constitution were ignored.


A Rebellious People


Lincoln embraced the Leiber Code to save face before Europe with whom he had to share the ocean highways of the world. He had to appear to abide by the Law of Nations, while at the same time pretending that the South was not a nation but a “rebellious people.” The Leiber Code at Article 154 declares:


Treating, in the field, the rebellious enemy according to the law and usages of war has never prevented the legitimate government from trying the leaders of the rebellion or chief rebels for high treason, and from treating them accordingly, unless they are included in a general amnesty.
There was a “general amnesty,” but many Southern leaders refused to accept it, most notably Jefferson Davis. To accept it would be to deny the Constitutional right of secession. Most importantly neither he nor any Southern Leader was ever tried as a traitor. The Northern role as the “legitimate government” was never proven. The U.S.A. today continues to deny any right of secession, but it still exists, and is still honored and pursued by the United Nations as the people’s right to self-determination. That is all the South ever wanted. We wanted it then and we want it now.


The crux of the matter is that before, during, and after the War, the North violated the Constitution, and the Law of Nations. The Leiber code was a sham. President Johnson realized that feelings between North and South had to be soothed. It was his intent to heal the wounds and rebuild the nation, free of the old hatred and recrimination. But he was overruled and impeached. The original theory of the North was that secession was impossible, and the War was a rebellion, rather than a war between nations. The War premise continued with a vengeance, but there were complications.


The Right to Secede


In 1865, a Northern Congress approved the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution freeing the slaves, but in order for the proposed amendment to become final, it had to be ratified by three-quarters of the States. Now on the theory that the Southern States had never seceded, they must as a consequence vote yea or nay for emancipation. There was no other way to get the majority needed for ratification. Most of the Southern states did vote to ratify. It was Southern votes that freed the slaves.


But in the bitterness preceding the impeachment of President Johnson in 1868, a radical Congress sought to “punish” the South and at the same time contrive a way to force the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment, which had been rejected by some Northern states as well as by Southern States. So the Southern states were informed they were not states after all, and were instructed that in order to be “admitted to the Union” – which Congress had claimed they had never left – they must first ratify the Fourteenth Amendment passed by Congress in June of 1866. So as non-states they duly ratified the Fourteenth Amendment on July 28, 1868 in order to be able to do what they had already done in 1865 as states in their approval of the Thirteenth Amendment. All a bit murky, and utterly unconstitutional but to the victors go the rotten spoils.


Two states withdrew their ratifications but the radical Congress rejected their valid rejections, and declared the Fourteenth Amendment and its ratification to be as pure as the driven snow on the convent roof. The Congress had to have the Fourteenth Amendment. It was the final nail in the coffin of the Republic which had existed before 1861. It confirmed the ascendancy of a central government and the slow demise of local self-government.


Rigged Election


The North intended to try Jefferson Davis for treason and prove that Southerners had no right to secede, and were in fact a bunch of traitors. But wiser heads prevailed. Davis, who wanted a trial, was never tried because the wiser heads convinced the hotheads that there was indeed a right to secede under the Constitution, and Davis was no traitor for upholding the Constitution. A trial would have upheld the right of secession and exonerated Davis. That is the reason he was never tried.


However, in 1867, the solution of the mad-dog Congress was to divide the South into five military districts and rule it as a conquered nation – with the expedient requirement that all the new black voters must vote for Lincoln’s party and elect Yankee Presidents. This worked until 1876 when many blacks either failed to vote or voted the wrong way, and the election hung on how the electoral votes of Florida were counted. A deal was worked out to let the Republicans have the presidency one more time by counting Florida as voting for the Republican candidate, Rutherford B. Hayes. Although there remains some doubt as to just how the Florida votes were truly cast, the army of occupation would be withdrawn from the South and the Reconstruction era would end. The candidate from the North would be President.


The result at law is that the entire structure of Reconstruction is an unconstitutional wreck. Every act, every deed, every misdeed enacted there under is gravely reprehensible and may be compromised and settled only by substantial reparations that compensate Southerners of all races and creeds for the horrors put upon them, and not just during the War and Reconstruction, but afterwards to this very day.


The wage and freight rate differentials and the banking practices in effect until World War II are examples of the damages that have been unlawfully imposed upon the South on into modern times. Even today, the South is still subjected to systematic genocidal attacks on our culture, our history, our symbols and our heroes. Southerners are instructed as to those with whom we must associate, where and how to educate our children, and how we must hate or love or pray.


Our very identity that we enjoy in the world today as Americans is that of a global imperial power, which stems from, and was born as a result of the War Between the States. The Empire won. Its regime is not “past,” it is here now, and grows by the hour.


We will accept reparations in the name of conscience – yours and ours. And then, in God’s name, leave us alone. We Southerners will make it just fine.


The Repairman


The big question is, who is the repairman that is going to make these reparations? The first spring-to-mind is of course White Southern slave-owners – the yeast of evil, the bloody beater of Black backs. He is doomed. But wait. Insert a pause clause.


Who sold him that black bill of goods? A Yankee! From Mass, Conn, or Rhode Island (New Providence Plantation), that's who. And who gypped a Negro Chief in Africa out of his spare livestock by paying pennies for slaves in Africa and selling for dollars to white folks in America? The Northern White folks who bought slaves soon "emancipated" their purchases by "selling South" for maximum profit. The pious people-peddlers of New England built vast fortunes out of the slave trade.


So tap their fortunes. They are still there, and they're fatter than ever.


Assess the Founding Trusts of Harvard University and Brown University or the descendants of the many slave-dealing families of New England, such as those of John Banister, Abraham Redwood or Joseph Wanton (Governor of Rhode Island, 1790). Or how about Aaron Lopez (largest taxpayer in Newport, 1775), or from Boston, you could tax the Belchers, the Waldons and Faneuils (of Liberty Hall) and Cabots (who only spoke to God), et al. And don't forget New York and Philadelphia, The City of Brotherly Love – many slavers, many fortunes, many trusts still breathing.


Of course, as conscientious one-world citizens, for really serious reparations we would require the U.N. to assess England, France, Spain, and Portugal; not to mention the African Chiefs of today whose ancestors supplied the worthy merchants of Europe and New England.


It gets even more complicated. Most of the European slave-traders themselves were descendants of serfs, the European equivalent of slaves. In all fairness, they too deserve reparations. The serpent will have to swallow itself from tail to head.


Now the New Englander is a crafty sort. As soon as the Southern farmer had paid the Yankee for his labor force, the Yankee was struck hard by remorse – or was it a sudden perception of opportunity? He built factories. For his labor force, he shanghaied and "contracted" white labor from Europe. He had them buy their own tickets to ride his boats to Boston, then he worked them and their children for pennies from sun to sun. And when they got too old to work, he let 'em die. Why don't the descendants of these poor oppressed laborers deserve reparations?


And that's just part of how the clever Yankee industrialist exploited this opportunity. Early on, he had fixed it so only three-fifths of the Black population in the South were counted in calculating the number of Congressman allotted to each state. Presto. The North's wage slave laborers were counted as 100% voters, and thus the North controlled Congress.


Now with Congress in their avaricious paws, the Pious Puritans, to honor their private and personal God, enacted the Protective Tariff on all goods imported from Europe, thus forcing the South to buy inferior Yankee goods at Yankee prices, which – Praise the Lord! – were used to build more penance pulpits alongside the dollar factories.


And where do you think all this tariff revenue went? To public works, of course. Canals, lighthouses, railroads, harbor improvements – all located in the North, of course. These improvements were built with Southern money earned by white and black Southern hands working together in the same fields, as they prayed together in the same Southern churches.


The South is the only place in the world where blacks and whites have lived in peace together as one extended family, under the same God, rewarded in the same Heaven and punished in the same Hell. Even during the War when Yankee agents slipped around trying to incite servants to rise up and murder and burn, it didn't work. Our people weren't going to destroy their own homes. General Sherman's "followers" weren't following him – they were following those hams he stole – our Southern hams.


Accounts Receivable


Once you add up all the damages to Southern Blacks and Southern Whites – and once you factor in all the goodies stolen and sent North – not to mention the land itself, which Yankees bought up at confiscatory tax sales, courtesy of carpetbagging legislatures – you will find that an enormous net balance is owed to all Southerners as reparation for all those homes burned and gutted in Georgia and South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana; and for all those dollars sent North to pay for African laborers stolen by Yankee slavers and sold South; and for all those public improvements in the North built with Southern dollars; and last but certainly not least, for the brutal and savage War itself, which was brought not to "free the slaves," but rather to enslave the Southern populace as a captive market for Yankee goods.


Modern man's greatest peril is the monstrous specter of "Total War," which is war against all living things. All his vaunted progress, all his marvelous inventions, directed toward easing the rigors of life and existence, may die in a horrible plume of smoke and fire.


"Total War" is a Yankee invention, and is nothing but a regression to barbarism. It was how the Yankee won the War Between the States, devastating (with the kindest and most enlightened intentions) black and white alike. The Yankee was the indiscriminate destruction of the South. The Yankee was the very embodiment of "Total War."


The image of "Total War" is depicted in the young officer running up to General Sherman and asking, "Should we burn the quarters, Sir? That's where the slaves live."


The ultimate Total Warrior wheeled on his officer, shrilled and grated, "Burn it all! Burn everything they've got – save their eyes, that they may weep!"


Such behavior cannot be excused as the hysteria of war. It is the language of a madman.


Remorse


One thing for sure. Reparations are not owed by the South; reparations are owed to the South. And speaking for the South, we'd like to say: Why don't you just keep it?


But wait. That would be mean-spirited. There are, I am sure, good honest folk in the North who wish to confess their sins and make amends; and we all recognize how good honest confession is for the soul. Out of compassion for the remorseful Yankee soul, then, I shall propose that we set up an "Education Trust" in the South which will exclusively administer funds contributed by the sincere and apologetic Northerner whose conscience is disturbed by the notion that a sort of delayed Marshall Plan for our own people might be overdue.


That we might consider.


Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable and most sacred right, a right which we hope and believe is to liberate the world.


– Abraham Lincoln (1848)

The Nation's Cemetery


................Every steamer up the Potomac River carried dead soldiers from Virginia battlefields, sheeted forms laid across the bows. Hospitals—often converted churches, public halls, or private mansions—ran out of burial space; more than 5,000 graves filled the Soldiers' Home cemetery alone. In desperate need of an expedient solution, Army quartermasters on May 13, 1864, trundled William Christman's mortal remains to a new burial ground that had been identified above the south bank of the Potomac on the confiscated estate of the Confederate commander, Robert E. Lee. The place was called Arlington.

Another Union soldier would be buried on the gentle slope near Christman later that Friday, with six more the next day and an additional seven on May 15. By the time the war ended the following year, some 16,000 graves stippled the rolling greensward at Arlington as part of a deliberate plan to ensure that the Lee family could never reoccupy the estate...................

Normally evil people accuse others of what they are perpetrating themselves, but in yankees' case collectively, it appears that all the distinctly Southern sins yankees purport to identify are actually yankee trademarks:


slavery—resented and resisted by the South, it was a hugely Northern-based institution overall.


ignorance—many yankees are educated vastly beyond their intelligence, making them ten times more destructive of human life and happiness.


violence—no cases should need to be cited in view of 1861-65.


prejudice—M.L. King himself said it was more intransigent up North.


racism—race riots bedevil Northern states, not Southern ones. Wonder why!


backward, rural—who destroyed the South's vast wealth and one-fourth of its manhood? A society whose ATTITUDES are as blighted and inbred as any Southern hillbilly's IQ.


vain, Romantic, outdatednotions of chivalry and valor—interested parties may revisit:

Pious Puritans and Reconstruction


"Pious Puritans sent their ships to ply among the Middle Passage and deemed that they were doing God and man a service to transport benighted savages to serve an enlightened and Christian people. Pious and philanthropic Churchmen bought these slaves as they might have bought any other chattels."

"The "Reconstruction of the South" was, on the part of the people of the North at large, simply that which in national life is more than a crime, a blunder. On the part of the leaders who planned it and carried it through it was a cool, deliberate, calculated act, violative of the terms on which the South had surrendered and disbanded her broken armies."

<div>“Oh Massachusetts! How I have lamented the degradation of your
apostasy! Massachusetts, with whom I went with pride in 1776, whose vote

fathers so bravely won from the same enemy. Let us look forward, then, to the
act of repentance, which, by dismissing her venal traitors, shall be the signal
of return to the bosom, and to the principles of her brethren; and, if her late
humiliation can just give her modesty enough to suppose that her Southern

even in honesty, although not in psalm-singing, she will more justly estimate
her own relative momentum in the Union. </font></div>

Also as

My amigo also says the change is because the "terror" meme has been pushed to hard for so long in the ameriKan media, other countries act as if it were valid, or are compelled to by El Coloso del Norte.

The SHNV item below would at least come under the heading of Yankee hypocrisy. As for the top portion (Mr. Thuersam's typically trenchant commentary), feast your eyes on the locations cited in this list and the "Modern" period that follows on the same page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...s#Civil_Rights _and_Black_Power_Movement.27s_Period:_1955_-_1977

Thus, for the lifetime of most people now living -- the most relevant period for purposes of any socio-political discussion -- race riots have overwhelmingly taken part in yankee cities. Cincinnati in 1841? Try 2001, friends!

Remember, the Florida peninsula isn't "Southern," as millions living there would no doubt agree.

An article entitled "Legends of the Confederacy: DeWitt Smith Jobe"

Once again we can compare and contrast the nobility of the Confederate soldier to the savage nature of the Union Army.

Jobe never gave up his fellow soldiers, choosing to die a painful death than to betray his country.

What happened to the nation that used to produce men like that?

http://www.thepoliticalcesspool.org/...ds/2010/04/25/ legends-of-the-confederacy-dewitt-smith-jobe/

Honorable and brave men still exist but as this article entitled "A Southerner Speaks."

http://cofcc.org/2010/04/a-southerner-speaks/ will show often not allow to join the military which is likely a blessing in disguise for the imperial legions are not for the honorable and brave, for the imperial legions still stand for torture, greed and dishonor that the brave and honorable men of the CSA fought against. Though, the rank and file soldiers maybe honorable and brave, the politicians who command the imperial legions are neither honorable nor brave and lead them into dishonor.

This from SHNV. Strangely, Germans been in the forefront of the PC revolution back then, many of them revolutionaries fresh from the streets of Europe. In a better world, Germans -- the only people to openly throw of gew power in the modern world -- would be leading the charge for ethnic truth and real racial justice everywhere (i.e. an end to "affirmative action" and the rest of minoprity supremacy).

<div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;"></font></div>
<div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;">From: bernhard1848@att.net </font></div>
<div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;"></font></div>
<div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;">The vigilante justice of lynching was not confined to the South as it is
common to believe, and race relations in the North, before and after the war,
were not as harmonious as abolitionists and advocates of the mythical
underground railroad pronounced. Frederick Douglass was no stranger to hate: he
was one of those who encouraged the hate-enraged John Brown toward Harpers Ferry
in 1859, afterward hiding in Canada to avoid extradition to Virginia for
punishment. The blood of a million Americans stained Douglass’s hands. </font></div>

Spirit of Hate in Rochester:</font></div>
<div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;"></font></div>
<div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;">“After his Rochester, New York, home was burned to the ground by incendiary
on June 1, 1872, Frederick Douglass expressed his anger in his weekly New
National Era: “Was it for plunder, or was it for spite? One thing I do know and
that is, while Rochester is among the most liberal of Northern cities, and its
people are among the most humane and highly civilized, it nevertheless has its
full share of the Ku-Klux spirit…It is the spirit of hate, the spirit of
murder.� </font></div>
<div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;"></font></div>
<div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;">Race relations were often contentious in Rochester due in part to
Douglass’s strong civil rights voice. By 1870, although Rochester’s
African-American population was minute – just 427 out of a total population of
62,386 – racial tension, especially over employment, prompted concern by
whites. </font></div>
<div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;"></font></div>
<div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;">On Saturday, December 30, 1871, the [Rochester Daily] Union’s third edition
published the city’s first report of the rape of an eight-year-old German girl
by a black man after she had returned from a church event. News of the crime
“spread like wild fire� after the child was returned to her parents. She had
been brutally beaten but described her attacker to the police who began a
frantic search for him. </font></div>
<div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;"></font></div>
<div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;">Early Monday morning officers arrested William Edward Howard, and he was
identified as the rapist by the girl at her home. Her father later “apologized
to [a] reporter for not having killed the Negro when he was in the house.�
Howard was not a stranger to the city’s police. In early 1871, he was arrested
for voting illegally, and he served six months in jail. At the time of his
arrest for rape, there was a warrant for his arrest for stealing from a local
German woman. </font></div>
<div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;"></font></div>
<div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;">Douglass’s son, Charles, who worked with his father on New National Era,
wrote to his father on January 20: “That Howard boy was in my company in the 5th
Cavalry. He came to the regiment as a [paid] substitute, and asked to be in my
Co. I had to tie him up by the thumbs quite often. His offence was stealing.�
</font></div>
<div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;"></font></div>
<div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;">Outside the jail an agitated mob assembled….composed mainly of Germans, was
intent on taking the law into its own hands, and the jail became Howard’s
fortress. The [Rochester Daily] Union’s reportage was most descriptive: “Threats
were made to lynch him and matters looked serious…four or five hundred people in
the assemblage…[and cries of] “kill the ******, give us the ******� were loud
and frequent.� [Judge R. Darwin Smith pronounced] “The sentence of the
Court is that you be confined to Auburn State Prison for the period of twenty
years at hard labor. The law formerly punished your crime with death.� </font></div>
<div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;"></font></div>
<div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;">At the prison entrance, Howard turned toward [an angry crowd of several
hundred men] and with his free hand placed his thumb on his nose and waved his
fingers to mock them. Once in jail, Howard renounced his guilty plea, and
professed his innocence.� </font></div>

<div>New book on Union atrocities against children in the South
</div>
<div></div>
<div>From: regenstein@mindspring.com </div>
<div></div>
<div>A new book by Univ of Montana-Missoula prof Anya Jabour describes the
persecution of Southern children during the War, how they were "singled
out for violence," "shattering Southern children's very world."</div>
<div></div>
<div>"Topsy Turvy: How the Civil War Turned the World Upside Down for Southern
Children,"
tells of how Union soldiers "wreaked havoc on the South,...were
very cruel even to the children, destroying food , furniture, and possessions of
families, threatening children with violence, even sexual assault, often in
front of other family members, ...brandishing whips and pistols, ...tearing up
school books, taking away blankets...spitting in preserves...pouring ketchup on
paintings..."</div>
<div></div>
<div>Union depredations were also committed against slave children, with
soldiers demanding that they sing and dance..."</div>
<div></div>
<div>The author appeared on C-SPAN 3 over the weekend.</div>

<div></div>
<div>Thanks,</div>

<div>Lewis Regenstein</div>
<div>Even as Topsy-Turvy presents the Civil War as a major turning point in
Southern children's lives, it also illuminates the interplay between continuity
and change in the history of the American South. Because the war was fought
largely on Southern soil, parts of the region became a permanent landscape of
war, and children in the Confederacy thus experienced the struggle in an
especially profound and personal way. Deeply researched, abundantly illustrated,
and engagingly written, the book is a major contribution to Southern
history.</div>

Remember, now there are reasons why the death rate was so high in for instance Andersonville, Georgia: the yankees refused to exchange prisoners! It was never our intention to starve anybody, but that's the situation forced on us in the late disturbance.

Elmira: Death Camp of the North
By Michael Horigan

List Price: $19.95
SWR/SHNV Price: $14.96

<br style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;">http://astore.amazon.com/souhernewvie-20/detail/0811732762<br style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;"></span><br style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;">The
Civil War (sic) prison camp at Elmira, New York, had the highest death rate of
any prison camp in the North: almost 25 percent. Comparatively, the overall
death rate of all Northern prison camps was just over 11 percent; in the South,
the death rate was just over 15 percent. Clearly, something went wrong in
Elmira. The culmination of ten years of research, this book traces the story of
what happened. Author Michael Horigan also places the prison in the context of
the greater Elmira community by describing the town in 1864 and explaining its
significance as a military depot and draft rendezvous.</span></font></font>

<div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;">Andersonville Horrors and Grant

From: bernhard1848@att.net </div>
<div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;"></div>
<div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;">Failure met the 1863 humanitarian mission of Vice President Alexander H.
Stephens and the overtures of General Lee toward Northern General Grant for the
exchange of prisoners which would relieve the suffering at Andersonville.
President Jefferson Davis himself paroled a delegation of Andersonville
prisoners to plead to Lincoln – with no results. </div>

<div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;">
Andersonville Horrors and Grant: </div>
<div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;"></div>
<div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;">“I am certainly no admirer of Jefferson Davis or the late Confederacy, but
in justice to him and that the truth may be known, I would state that I was a
prisoner of war for twelve months, and was in Andersonville when the delegation
of prisoners spoken of by Jefferson Davis left there to plead our cause to with
the authorities at Washington; and nobody can tell, unless it be a shipwrecked
and famished mariner, who sees a vessel approaching and then passing on without
rendering aid, what fond hopes were raised, and how hope sickened into despair
waiting for the answer that never came. </div>
<div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;"></div>
<div style="font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono;">In my opinion, and that of a good many others, a good part of the
responsibility for the horrors of Anderson rests with General U.S. Grant, who
refused to make a fair exchange of prisoners.</div>
