            ~ War for Southern Independence ~

          The following is an excerpt from
         The BROCK FAMILY GENEALOGY / MEMORYBOOKS:

NOTE: As a writer and historian I will take the time and space right here, for the sake of the site visitor, and our family and our progeny, to set forth a few things.  Things which most Southrons know, verifiable facts which are germane to, and which directly relate to our family ancestry and to all our proud heritage as Southrons:


         The mis-named and so-called,
             “Civil” War  ~
                       - and the true and historically verifiable “cause” of it:
                                                  by Emil T. Miller  (Tony Miller)

        *  "History is the propaganda of the victors."
                                                                   -- Ernst Toller - (German playwright - 1935)
 

     First, let us be clear.  A "Civil War" is defined in all dictionaries as that which occurs when a group or faction within a country attempts to overthrow the current government by force of arms and to install a new government more to their liking. Such NEVER at any time occurred, nor was it ever claimed, intended or threatened. In point of fact the agrarian people of the South (as a distinctly different people from those in the more industrialized Northern states), sought to and did peacefully withdraw (secede) from a union it no longer wanted with the industrialized North, and established their own country and governance - all as the U. S. Constitution provides for (one has but to read it), and to which ALL STATES were signatory when it was ratified.
     After this perfectly proper, legitimate and legal secession, the Northern army (the South had no army at all, nor a navy), on the orders of Union President Abraham Lincoln, in the first openly hostile act of war, invaded the Confederate states of America at the southern port of Charleston by sneaking in and militarily occupying the unfinished Fort Sumpter in the mouth of the harbor, with Mr. Lincoln's stated intent and purpose of closing this primary southern port to all shipping and thereby strangling the new-born Confederacy; all for Lincoln’s oft-stated purpose of "preserving the Union at all costs" (again, one has but to read all this in the Library of Congress and existing copies of all the newspapers of the day.  Shortly after, "Honest Abe" ordered the blockade of ALL Southern ports for the purpose of destroying the New South by choking off all trade with Europe.  The South naturally could not, would not, and did not allow this, making the debate as to who actually fired the first shot at Ft. Sumpter wholly irrelevant in any case.
     Upon further mobilization by the North and their Declaration of War on April 15, 1861 (the South never did such a thing, seeking to defend themselves only), Mr. Lincoln's intent was made even more clear at that time when he next ordered the sinking of Southern ships and then gave his stated purpose of the war to congress; ". . . my goal is to preserve the Union no matter what the cost." And cost it did. 672,000 lives of soldiers alone (more than all our other wars COMBINED), not counting the rapings and killings of the families of the Confederate soldiers and the burning and pillaging of their homes, to wit; Sherman’s totally unnecessary, vicious, sadistic killings and the burning, sacking of Atlanta, Savannah and other Georgia towns during his "March to the Sea" down through a prostrate and defenseless countryside to Savannah, and then his marauding march on up to through many more towns and farms to the Union's burning and sacking of Charleston, S.C. on his (or Lincoln's ?) order - all AFTER  it was obvious to all that the war was over for all practical purposes. Even the Leftist historical revisionists are forced to agree with these entirely verifiable facts.
     From the outset the Sons of the South had no choice but to resort to arms and to defend their families, their homes, their Southron heritage - and their new country, the Confederate States of America with their new Confederate Constitution which also provided for the same States' Rights which had been denied them by Mr. Lincoln and his Industrialist supporters along with their enabling *Marxist politician cohorts in the northern states. In the aftermath of the war and in guilty consciences one must presume, many in the north have recognized all these facts and feebly wave at the truth by referring to it as the “War between the States” instead of their usual "Civil War", and instead of what it actually was, tyranny; i.e., the outright aggression on and suppression of the will of a whole people to be free from oppression. To wit: exorbitant port duties, tariffs, and patently unfair taxation without fair and proper representation, to be free from a union with the North it therefore did not want, and to govern themselves - all rights guaranteed them by the U. S. Constitution, signed and ratified by all states. Indeed, Mr. Lincoln, in his speech at Gettysburg after that battle and in his subsequent "National Prayer", stated:
 
     "It behooves us then to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our National sins and to pray for clemency and forgiveness . . ."
 
     What a paradoxical contradiction it is to note that this country has subsequently fought many wars defending the right of OTHER peoples of the world to do the VERY SAME THING! (To wit: World Wars I and II, Korea, Viet Nam, Bosnia, Croatia, and even recently we have tossed out the oppressive Taliban from Afghanistan and and have now done the same with the sadistic Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq. Indeed we have also supported many other freedom fighters all over the world in our 225+ year history, while that same yearning for freedom in our own people was brutally crushed by Lincoln, the greedy Industrialists and their Marxist politicians in control of the country at that time (with "Honest Abe" as their front man.) For this reason alone, let no one wonder why so many the world over consider us to be two-faced "Ugly Americans!" (Just ask the people of the Balkan countries!).  Indeed, people in other countries are more familiar with "The American Civil War" (our War for Southern Independence) than our "War for American Independence" - - (our American Revolution).
     Those northern industrialists and their politician cronies with their (*)Marxist agenda  [at that time in the Republican Party - now the Liberals (Socialists) of the Democrat Party] were unhappy with the fact that their grotesquely unfair duties and high tariffs they imposed at their northern ports on southern raw materials, such as cotton, tobacco, molasses, rice, kaolin and other products, at the northern seaports of New York, Boston and others, had been obviated by the Southrons when they were able to secure other markets in England and Europe. The only and direct "cause" of this destructive war was these grotesquely unfair taxations without representation and the denial of States Rights to the Southern states, (not "Slavery" as is incessantly and falsely claimed even to this day).  States’ Rights is an issue still very much in contention to this day as well, that useless, senseless, illegal and uncalled for war not having settled this question at all, and since the slaves in the north were not freed after the war, this horrendous war did not achieve a single goal of these greedy industrialists and their *Marxist political friends who got obscenely rich off the war production requirements (at a cost of 672,000 lives, 442,000 of which were Union soldiers).
     Our brave Sons of the South were not defeated, but were crushed by the weight of sheer numbers and overwhelming industrial, rail and shipping capacity. to wit; the population of the North at the time was approximately 25 million of which 3 million were slaves, whereas that of the South was approximately 9 million of which 6 million were slaves - the North had a standing army and a navy, and vast numbers of factories, merchant ships and rail lines while the South, being mostly farmers, had no such army nor navy, no meaningful industrial capacity and pitifully little rail transportation in comparison. Even so, these brave Confederates with their brilliant generals and enemy weapons obtained from battlefield pickups gave more than two to one casualties in the course of the war, a fact which is truly amazing since tens of thousands of Confederates went to war with only a sack of rocks and a butcher knife brought from home, others with only the family shotgun, effective at only a few yards. I remind you here that many of these were our direct kinfolks, approximately 15-20 that I have come across so far on the Brock side of our family alone.
     But it is the victor who gets to write the history, to revise it, to slant it and to distort it to suit their ends and purposes as they choose. I refer to it as the Great American Cover-up since that is exactly what it was (and still is). "Slavery", as wrongfully taught the writer in the schools of the South in the late forties and early fifties - much less all over the North, (and which is still to this day being wrongfully taught and proffered countrywide as the "cause" of that horrendous war), was never, repeat NEVER at any time the "cause" of the war, nor was it ever more than the subject of an ongoing 28 year old political debate (begun in 1832 - refer to the Lincoln/Douglas debates as an example) until more than two years into the war (late 1863). As Black historian W. E. B. DuBois stated and proved, between 1860 and 1865 more than twelve hundred slaves were brought into the New World under the "protection" of the United States flag! I enclose the following excerpt from my book RED JACKET and the LUMP, which itself was taken from Mr. DuBois’ work:

"The pride of the United States slave fleet, which was owned in, and operated entirely out of the New England states (no slave ships were operated in the South although slaves were bought and sold there before the war just as was still being done in the North during the first two years of the war), was the ship NIGHTINGALE. About mid-point of the war (and after the belated cry of “freeing the slaves” was taken up by Lincoln at Gettysburg and by the Northern press), this Northern slaver ship, needed for the war efforts against the South, was "captured" by the U.S. Navy (commandeered) just off the African coast with 900 slaves on board with a death rate of three slaves per day, and brought back to New England (with the approximately 540 surviving slaves still on board) to be refitted for war. The ship had been built in Maine, was commanded by a New Yorker, then bought by a Salem, Massachusetts firm and outfitted as a slaver before the war began. A picture of this ship taken in late 1862, just before being refitted for war and flying the U. S. flag can be seen today in the Peabody Museum in Salem, Massachusetts."
                                                                     (Emphasis and parenthesis mine).

     At the start of the war, most people both North and South recognized that Slavery as an institution, though still being debated pro and con, was on a gradual path to being brought to an end. Even some northern writers then and now freely acknowledge all these things and have written true, verifiable and foot-noted history for all to read and study, but those books as well as other recent books of true history, are not only totally ignored by the Liberals but actively suppressed by them in the Establishment Media and the University Academia who are in control of the country’s news, schools, school books and curricula. I will furnish a list of all such true and verifiable history books by authors both North and South, to any who express an interest.
     After the disastrous if inconclusive battle of Gettysburg, with people in the North calling for a cessation of the war with the outcome of the war still in doubt and at the height of the huge numbers of desertions in the Union army of over 100,000 per month at one time (the South never had anything remotely close to this problem), Lincoln, in his now famous 274 word Gettysburg Address, invented  “Slavery” as an issue and brought it into the war more than two years after he started it, as a means to give a motivation of a "higher calling" or a "cause" if you will, to the people of the North so they would take heart again and continue the fight. It would have been recognized today for what it was; purely a public relations ploy, advance copies of the speech having been given 13 major Northern newspapers for this very purpose - and it worked to perfection.   All of this is a matter of public record still available for all to see in the Library of Congress and numerous other places.    
     Many people of the North, aware of the Constitution’s provision for States’ Rights, who also believed the South was perfectly within their rights to secede, and who did not care one way or the other if the "union was preserved", now were given another more high-minded and emotional "cause" to rally around  - "Free the
slaves!" - ignoring the fact that the rich Northern industrialists owned three million slaves themselves.  "Preserve the Union" had not worked (the Northern slaves had not been freed - and were not for another 10 years!), but after this speech and subsequent newspaper Ad campaign to promote it, the desertions began to decline and the war was now pursued anew with that new, contrived slogan which in early 1863 began to be trumpeted vigorously in all the northern newspapers, most controlled by the (*)Marxists. It is interesting to note that there were never more than a relative handful of desertions in the South, and indeed, at the time of surrender at Appomattox there were more than 12,000 amputees in the Confederate Army who had returned to service!
    In point of fact, only the slaves in the South were freed after the war (to a far worse and unhappy existence than before), while the three million slaves in the North were not freed for another 10 years (in 1874!), and even then a pregnant black mother’s babies were born into slavery for potentially the rest of their lives! This is undisputed, verifiable, actual history that is not taught in schools nor is it ever spoken of today. Indeed, Massachusetts (that bastion of present-day bleeding heart Socialism!), to this day, has no codified law which ever freed the slaves in that state. At the start of the war the South had already by deed and by law, closed all slave markets and banned such sales, while those in the north continued operation until two years into the war as previously stated. Indeed, slavery was banned in the Confederate Constitution and yet no one points out this fact today! And nowhere does one read or hear today that all Slaver Ships and their captains, AND the remaining slave markets of the country were ALL located, owned and operated in the North at the outbreak of hostilities, and continued so for more than two years into the war, or as stated earlier, that it was another 10 years before any of the Northern slaves were freed, giving ample time for the Yankee slaveholders to sell them at a profit to the French, Dutch, and Portuguese sugar plantation owners in the Caribbean and Dutch East Indies!
     Then afterwards came the also mis-named "Reconstruction" period. No such reconstruction was done by the North except possibly for some money sent by wealthy northerners out of guilt more than anything else.  Indeed the reverse occurred, and the "Vengeance and Exploitation" period would be the far more correct name. Vicious and egotistical northern military "Governors" (with one or two notable compassionate exceptions) and their northern "Carpetbagger" accomplices in cahoots with local individuals of dishonest and low character called "Scalawags", systematically defrauded and robbed the returning surviving soldiers and their remaining families at will, stealing their homes and farms for the pittance of back taxes the Confederates were unable to pay.  Few anywhere will even make an attempt to deny these facts.  One historically verified and still verifiable source of these facts is found in the article below this one entitled "AFTER APPOMATTOX", excerpted from  "A History of Limestone County, Alabama" which included parts of The Authentic History of the Ku Klux Klan: 1865-1877, by Susan Lawrence Davis, printed in New York in 1924.  In this same history, please note that the KKK as originally organized, was an honorable, race-neutral organization which protected the returning Confederate soldiers and their surviving and ravaged families from the Yankee usurpers as noted above, and from the murdering, marauding, roving bands of freed blacks and roque white Union soldiers.  This was all  recognized  on both sides of the Mason/Dixon line at the time eventually, but in recent times this defunct organization has had their name corrupted and mis-used by race separatists and white supremacists.  It is NOT the same organization, but you will never hear this truth from the Leftist Democrat Media or taught in Left-wing academia who delight in warping these facts to suit their treasonous Socialist Agenda.
     These then, are the verifiable and indisputable facts vis-a-vis the so-called and patently mis-named "Civil' War. Proof positive of them and of the falsity of "Slavery" as the "reason" or "cause" for the war still exists today in great abundance and is still available to any and all who wish to see for themselves as I and many others have actually done. The truth is found in copious quantity archived in the Library of Congress at Washington D.C., in the hundreds of thousands of old letters, old newspaper articles, old congressional records, and old diaries of the small and great, of those in power at the time as well as those who fought and suffered the consequences of those gargantuan mis-deeds. In the immediate aftermath, the surviving people of the South lived oppressed lives a day at a time, and tried not to think or talk about what they referred to as the “Late Unpleasantness”.  Sadly, far too many Southrons today adopt the same reluctance but now out of the blind eye of ignorance, apathy, and timidity.
     It is high time the foregoing facts are publicly recognized and the schoolbooks corrected, but we will not hold our breath since this fallacy and the false and fraudulent perpetuation of this myth conveniently results in what the Leftists call the "victimization" of blacks, and "racism" of whites - all which suits the purposes of the Liberal (Socialist) agenda of the Democrat Party as promoted in our "Public" (Leftist Teachers' Union-run) schools, who as a result get 92% of the thus mis-guided black vote), and of the Leftist News Media, the University Intelligentsia and the Godless, decadent Hollywood Establishment - all as so eloquently articulated by such luminaries as Barack Obama, the "Reverend" Jesse Jackson, Al Gore, John Kerry, Teddy Kennedy (of Chappaquidick fame), "Dr." Louis Farakhan, Dan Rather, the "Reverend" Al Sharpton, Barbara Striesand, Tom Daschle, Hillary Clinton, Charlie Rangel and others of this Leftist race-baiting ilk. This and their Socialist school agenda is part and parcel why all these Leftists are deathly scared of School Choice, and Homeschooling.  Tens of millions of Americans white and black, are living in total ignorance of the true facts and true history of the War for Southern Independence - AKA the so called "Civil" War.

I urge you to consider what I believe to be the very best newspaper in the whole country:

          TheWashingtonTimes-National Weekly Edition
                                     http://americasnewspaper.com

 This excellent newspaper, published in Washington, D.C., is arguably the nation's foremost newspaper of record, and for the last year they have featured an article in every issue relating to the Civil War and pointing out the historical mis-conceptions held by the majority of Americans due to the dominating, agenda-driven lies and distortions of the Liberal Democrats and their counterparts in the Leftist Media.  The National Weekly Edition costs little more than a dollar a week - only $59.95 for a full year.  Delivered to your door once a week, it is a compendium of all the major World, National, and State news and articles which have appeared that week in their daily papers.  The paper is editorially Conservative, but its articles are straightforward, without bias or slant and is non-selective.  It gives ALL the news ALL the time, without agenda, and it keeps people up to date and completely informed on all subjects.  When I was introduced to this paper some years ago, I cancelled 5 magazine subscriptions as well as my local and Nashville newspapers because I received far more true and unbiased information in it than all the rest of the left-leaning, agenda-driven publications combined.  Timely, unaltered truth and facts are what I require,  therefore I highly recommend this newspaper!
                                                                                                     ...ETM

ROBERT E. LEE  (L) - (1807-1870) He was recognized by both sides as by far the most gifted in military tactics and the judicious use of the sparce and meager resources of the Confederacy.  He was also universally recognized as an humble  man of impeccable character, a devout Christian, and was universally beloved by his soldiers.  He said:   "I fought against the people of the North because I believed they were seeking to wrest from the South its dearest rights.  But I have never seen a day when I did not pray for them."  
     At the time of his graduation from West Point, General Lee was known as "the handsomest man in the Army".  A portrait of him done about this time is shown in my book "Red Jacket and the Lump".   He already had three children at that time.

JEFFERSON DAVIS - (R) was also a West Point graduate and fought with distinction in the Mexican War.  He was also an humble man of deep Christian convictions and was reluctant to assume such a high position in the South's new government  He served because his people called him to that duty.

The "Flag Flap":   
     Why I Stand Up for the Confederate Flag  
                  by Charles Culbertson                      
Wednesday, June 20, 2001   
 

     Am I, a white Southerner, offended by public displays of the Confederate battle flag?

     The answer, not surprisingly, is no.

   My ancestors - dirt-poor Georgia farmers who did not own slaves - threw themselves against an enemy that outnumbered them three to one and outgunned them a thousand to one, and fought until they were too spent to draw back the hammer of a rifle.

     They fought to preserve their homes, families and the sanctity of states' rights, and did so under a slashed, red banner designed to reduce confusion in the heat and smoke of battle. It was, and still is, a symbol of courage, fidelity and sacrifice on a grand scale.

     Not everyone, of course, sees it that way. Black Americans in particular claim to be offended by the flag's public display because, for them, it represents the institution of slavery. Yet in any discussion about this particular symbol, we must remember a couple of historical notes:

     The Confederacy supported slavery, but so did the United States. In fact, it was the U.S. flag that flew the longest over slavery, and it was the U.S. Constitution that condoned and protected it as an institution. It was the United States that allowed slavery to flourish so that Northern businessmen could get rich.

     Further, Abraham Lincoln - the Great Emancipator himself - wasn't terribly worked up over the welfare of slaves and said so a number of times. His concern was that he shouldn't preside over a divided country, and went to war to keep the South in the fold, not to eradicate slavery.

      So, if we're going to start censoring symbols, there's a lot of candy-striped flags to remove from statehouses, post offices, American Legion halls, cemeteries, school houses, and office buildings.

     My point is that no cultural group celebrates its lowest common denominator. Blacks in this country don't hold African heritage festivals to honor the fact that their own people gleefully sold them into slavery, or to support the genocide, sexual mutilation of women and absence of human rights that characterize Africa to this day. No, they celebrate tribal family values that helped see them through the terrible days of enslavement on a foreign shore.

      Those of Japanese descent in America don't celebrate the Bataan Death March, the Rape of Nanking or the murder of tens of thousands of innocent Allied prisoners during World War II. Rather, they point to centuries of beauty and art, and hold them up as ideals of their culture.

       Likewise, Oktoberfests don't exist to celebrate the slaughter of millions of Jews and an insane attempt at world domination. Instead, Germans rightly point to the influence their culture has had in music, architecture and philosophy.

     And American Southerners who honor their Confederate heritage do not celebrate the institution of slavery. We pay homage to superhuman courage and heroism in the face of overwhelming odds. We list dedication, sacrifice and a willingness to die for home and hearth as the height of what is good in the human spirit.

      The day we say, "You may no longer revere your cultural heritage because of your culture's sins or the misuse of its symbols," is the day we must eliminate every culture known to man.

      But when you strip the issue to its core, the problem isn't the Confederate battle flag at all. The problem is that its most vitriolic opponents - specifically the NAACP, which attacks Confederate heritage at every opportunity - aren't doing anything to address real problems among blacks. By attacking Confederate occasions and symbols, the NAACP succeeds in drawing attention to things most people normally wouldn't notice - which, I submit, is precisely what the group wants. Its aim is to deflect attention from the real dilemmas facing blacks and from the fact that the NAACP is doing nothing to solve them.

     For example, 70 percent of black children are born out of wedlock, which studies show puts them at a much greater risk of living in poverty. Black 17-year-olds read at the same level as white 13-year-olds. On average, black students score 200 points below whites on the SAT. Further, 52 percent of prison inmates are black and another third are on probation or parole. Fifty-two percent of blacks say they are afraid to walk alone at night in their neighborhoods.

     Where's the NAACP's outrage over these deplorable social conditions? Where are the marches and demonstrations and editorials and community programs designed to draw attention to and solve these problems? Does the NAACP really think that the elimination of Confederate events and symbols will suddenly make life a bed of buttercups for blacks in this country?

     I've got a news flash for them. If all Confederate proclamations, commemorative events and emblems disappeared overnight, the material interests of blacks wouldn't improve one iota. Nor would racial stereotypes, bigotry and hatred miraculously vanish.  The enemy here isn't a historical symbol or the long-dead soldiers who fought under it, but rather the NAACP's unwillingness to come to grips with real dilemmas that need real solutions. The flag is simply a convenient scapegoat.

AFTER APPOMATTOX 1865 - 1870. . .
                                     ...Political Correctness corrected and Revisionist History exposed!

  Eye-opening facts you never hear from the Leftist News Media - more true and verifiable history that is never brought to light... but which can NEVER be denied:

                                       

*  "When you return to your homes, you will take with you the satisfaction that proceeds from the consciousness of duty faithfully performed", said Robert E. Lee at Appomattox.

...Excerpted from a history of Limestone County, Alabama:

     The Memphis Avalance paid tribute to the memory of Capt. Thomas Hubbard Hobbs, who died in July 1862 as a result of wounds received in the battle of Gaines Mill. "No better man, or braver soldier, fought with the Army of Northern Virginia - He gave his life for the country he loved so well, and for the development and improvement of which, he had done so much. In every sense of the word, he was a true man-as near faultless as it is possible for a man to become in a world so full of wickedness and deception as ours. There was never but one Tom Hobbs in this county" George Donnell, a faithful and honest old servant died in October. "For four years the souls of many of us had never wafted higher than the range of a cannon ball; our thought never reached deeper than a soldier's shallow grave; our calculations were of the comparative strength of armies, and the power of gunsY but there was a little flock among the faithless - Dr. Petway, was sent to fill this station and under him and Smith a revival of religion had returnedY "
