BEFORE THE CARPETBAGGERS...

Most of eastern North Carolina lay open to the Union troops from early 1862, and by degrees they stripped the entire region of everything of value that was moveable and whole shiploads of booty were sent north. New Bern-native Edward Stanly was appointed military governor by Lincoln in late May 1862 and sent to occupied Morehead City to govern his subjects, but even he lost hope of restoring the Tarheel State to the Union after watching shiploads of loot heading northward. He resigned his appointment a year later.

Stanly wrote: "Had the war in North Carolina been conducted by soldiers who were Christians and gentlemen, the State would have long ago rebelled against rebellion. But instead of that, what was done? Thousands and thousands of dollars worth of property were conveyed North. Libraries, pianos, carpets, mirrors, family portraits, everything in short, that could be removed, was stolen by men abusing flagitious slave holders and preaching liberty, justice and civilization.

 I was informed that one regiment of abolitionists had conveyed North more than $40,000 worth of property. They literally robbed the cradle and the grave. Family burial vaults were broken open for robbery; and in one instance (the fact was published in a Boston newspaper and admitted to me by an officer of high position in the army) a vault was entered, a metallic coffin removed, and the remains cast out that those of a dead [northern] soldier might be put in the place.” (Hamilton, pp. 94-95)

Georgia’s likely last ‘real son’ of a Confederate veteran dies

H.V. Booth, likely the last surviving “real son” of a Georgia Confederate veteran, has died at age 96 in Elberton, according to a local funeral home.

Mr. Booth was the son of Isham Johnson Booth, a guard at Camp Sumter, also known as Andersonville, the nightmarish Civil War prison compound where nearly 13,000 Yankee prisoners died.

“While there are thousands of men in Georgia and across the South who proudly wear the name “Sons of Confederate Veterans,” the number of literal sons of the war veterans, themselves, has dwindled down to fewer than half a dozen across the South,” said the Georgia Sons of Confederate Veterans.

Berry Funeral Home & Crematory in Elberton confirmed Mr. Booth’s death. He died June 7.

Henry Victor Booth took his bit of celebrity with humility and humor.

When, in 2012, another real son of a Georgia Confederate veteran was buried, John McDonald, word circulated that there were no more.

Some called it “the end of an era.” Turned out it wasn’t. Mr. Booth remained.

I am a good ole rebel (Novorossiya version)

The forces of Novorossiya (New Russia) have already adopted a version of our Southern battle flag. Now, they have adopted perhaps our best “rebel” song, appropriately entitled “I’m a good ole rebel.” Listen for yourself>

American or Southerner?

Choose this day whether you be an American or a Southerner. You cannot be both. If you are an American you must become a propositionalist who believes all men–and their cultures–are created equal. You must profess fealty to the progressivist trinity of multiculturalism, diversity, and tolerance. You must speak well of homosexuals and actively support “gay marriage.” You must believe in an all-inclusive “gospel.” You must confess the grievous racial and cultural sins of white Europeans. And you must sit in the seat of everlasting repentance for the transgressions of your ancestors.

As for me and my house, we chose to be Southerners standing for our God, our folk, and our homeland.

Kentucky LS says “Feds Out” in Alexandria

On Saturday, 30 May, the Kentucky League of the South held a demonstration in Alexandria. The demonstration’s objective was to spread the messages “Feds Out of Kentucky” and “Secede to Survive.” These two message are of course geared toward The League’s overarching goal of Southern independence. Our congratulations go out to Kentucky LS State Chairman Coleman Lacy for organizing this event and the Southern nationalist patriots who stood with him for our cause.

Reports from Mr. Lacy indicated that fourteen men and women participated in the demonstration and that the reaction from the general public was overwhelming positive to our message. We invite the public to stand with us at future demonstrations to let the powers-that-be know that there is growing resistance to bad government in Washington, DC.

It’s time for some truth

 Will things return to this in the South (see photo at right)? Let’s hope so. De-segregation and integration have been abject failures, just as our Southern forebears in the 1950s and 1960s said they would. Leftist policies have destroyed whole cities, schools systems, and other once-healthy institutions. It’s time to force the left to admit the truth and turn back the clock, as it were, to a more sane time and policy. The survival of our civilization depends on it.
