I can sympathize with the black populace to a degree. However, It has come to my attention that they (the general black population) have become the unfortunate (but intentional) victims of misinformation. Their leaders in the NAACP have apparently brainwashed them into believing the "politically correct" version of the causes of the civil war. It is this same "political correctness" that is rewriting our history. Eating away at the truth little by little, until one day, before we come to realize it, our true history will have been replaced by total fiction. Think of it as interchangeable history, that goes in and out of style, much like the latest fashions. It is the worst nightmare of George Orwell from "1984" come true.

The issue of slavery was nothing more than a cover, an excuse, for the northern aggression into the group of southern states that had declared secession and independence from the dominance and the oppressive overbearance of the "will" of the northern states.

The Civil War was not intended to resolve slavery, but to raid, ransack, and pillage the riches of the south, and to bring the "renegade" insurrectionist southerners back under "control". I have included in My Favorite Links  a number of links to other sites, as well as, a number of com- mentaries written by notable politicians, columnist, and organizations, that provide information on the true historical causes of the South's secession, the civil war, and how the Battle Flag (the source of so much controversy in South Carolina) has nothing whatsoever to do with slavery.

James Benny Cooper - Posted: 08.22.00 2nd Lt. Commander and Editor of Barksdale MIssippians William Barksdale Camp 1220, SCV Columbus, MS Are you politically timid? Do you just sit back to see what is going to happen? If you are, you are letting things just slowlyslip from your grasp without realizing it.

There are things going on in today’s world and the South in particular that need our undivided attention and support. Are you like Peter, who denied Christ? Do you deny your heritage when someone asks you what you believe? Do you deny it and keep it in the closet from the eyes of the public? If you do not stand up and proclaim your heritage it will be lost to you forever and unlike Christ there will be no resurrection once it is gone. I am not pointing a finger at anyone in particular, but my aim is to make you stop and think. When you find someone critical of our Southern way of life and our wonderful Southern ancestor, don’t just sit quietly by and do nothing. Would you let someone slander your spouse or your children without speaking out? It is the same thing when certain groups and individuals talk about doing away with anything promoting Southern Heritage. Their attempt to erase any trace of Southern culture is just a form of "ethnic cleansing" that would not be tolerated on any other group of people. Just a friendly warning, keep a close watch on you current events, or it will be too late to do anything to stop the erosion of our rights and freedom. Let your legislators and congressmen and the news media know that you won’t tolerate these actions by the liberal crowd. As long as we still have the freedom of speech in this country, USE IT! Tell everyone: "KEEP YOUR GRUBBY HANDS OFF MY FLAG AND LEAVE MY HERITAGE ALONE!" http://www.dixietimes.com

Dixie: Enough is Enough! A Call to Muster by J.J. Johnson - Posted: 09.28.00

As many of you know, we at the Ranch, strive not to advocate violence. We do not advocate the initiation of force to achieve social or political goals. But in the case of my Southern Heritage and the most recent assaults, self-defense against hostility is the least that can and should be advocated here. It's not like this has come out of the blue. In an open letter to the NAACP, I publicly asked that organization to denounce the vandalism and assaults that were taking place against the Confederate Battle Flag and those who support the cause. In the most recent case, Curtis Collier was beaten and robbed early Sunday while walking to his campsite after the Mule Days festival in Fayetteville, NC. He was beaten on the face and head, and the reason, he believes, is due to his wearing a Confederate Flag on his shirt. Despite his injuries, Collier still has his Rebel shirt. It's in pieces and covered in blood. His injuries are pretty serious. The lists of other assaults against Southern Heritage are too long to list here. Those who have confederate roots are aware of many of them. Still, there will be some among us who will not agree with this "Call to Battle." We have witnessed our representatives use the soap box, the ballot box, and even the jury box to plead their cases. Not only are they shunned when the law is on their side, we have been met by repeated injury. We have publicly asked those who wish to destroy our Heritage to condemn such violence. But words are not enough. Some of us have been subjected to physical abuse. For those who choose not to follow the charge, I can only ask that you quietly support those 'gray coats' who have decided on their own to meet such aggression head on. Hear me, Southern Man. The time has come the when such force against our Southern Brethren should be met with equal and opposite force. Regrettably, I must conclude that no other means are available to convince would-be attackers; that if the Pride of Dixie could not be vanquished by Northern Aggression, it shall not be subdued by ignorant Yankees. I assume the first act of forceful defense will be heard around the country. They will call it a 'hate crime' even when that Southern Man defends himself or his family. But I now believe a sound defense against that next aggressor will send the only message to those who will not stop their attacks that they will understand. Perhaps it will convince many parents to tell their children, "Leave those rebels alone. They got a mean streak." Yes, we do. And we've been more than peaceful in defending this cause over the last few months and for that, many of us walk down the streets of Dixie in fear. We didn't start this, but by the Grace of God Almighty, we WILL finish it; (it's already been written). If that's the message those Southern Haters want to send, fine. We will now be speaking their own language. I call on ALL of Dixie to expect and be prepared to be the next victim of an anti-Southern criminal assault, and take all necessary steps to defend themselves, their families, their property, and the symbols we all hold dear. We still have rights, don't we? Yes, Southern Haters. Go ahead and take this message in or out of any context you want. You never have anything good to say about us anyway. You can't wait to use the word "hate" in your reports, but never when one of US becomes the victim. Call the Traitors in Montgomery. Call your Fascist in Baltimore. Call your Criminals in the Justice Department. Tell, them those Southern Heritage Folks are going to defend themselves with whatever means at their disposal - with FORCE, if force is used against them. You brought this on yourselves. The Southern Man 'hates' double standards. And we don't need a "hate crime law" to protect us. Tell your minions that our gentlemanly tradition will continue. But if and when the next attack occurs, the perpetrators can brag about their attempted assaults from a hospital room, or worse. If you aren't feeling the sting of a white glove against your face, then I haven't swung it hard enough. May the Good Lord show mercy on the next criminal who assaults the Symbols of Dixie or her ancestors, because from this point forward, that may be all the mercy you get here on earth. By our opponent's actions, they have established the Rules of Engagement. ...and we have nothing left to lose.
