Southern Culture is rich and subtle, something that is lacking in the more crass and clerk like culture of the North. Northerners often have trouble understanding those subtleties which can lead to a lot of fun at their own expense. Stay in the North, where you feel at home.

Richmond, 1907 - Unveiling the Jeb Stuart & Jefferson Davis Monuments on Monument Avenue
'And 'twill live in song and story, Though its folds are in the dust.'
One of the most pleasing as well as spectacular features of the great re-union of C.S.A. Veterans, which was held in Richmond in May-June 1907 for the purpose of participating in the exercises incident to the unveiling of the Jeb Stuart & Jefferson Davis Monuments, was the arrangement and costuming of 600 school children in the form and colors of a Confederate battle flag. The children occupied a stand within the Lee Monument enclosure, aroused the greatest enthusiasm by their singing of 'Dixie' and other Southern airs.

The New Southerner pinned «What is The South? The Old Confederacy, the SE to foreigners unfamiliar with the subject. As much as northerners would like to believe it is just a bunch of backwards states with hicks and rednecks, with people who were "taught" a lesson and then assimilated…»

A little humor for Sat. My hats off to the reenactors who keep the spirit of the South alive. These men dont just dedicate a lot of time but a lot of money, "it aint cheap" as they say. It is one of the most expensive hobbies that can be had but walking in the tracks of your ancestors is quite rewarding.

But seriously....responsible gun ownership is the best way to lower crime...most criminals want to live. They may not want YOU to live but they sure as heck want to preserve their skins...and the South has guns a plenty and veterans a plenty. Which raises another question altogether: should Southern boys fight and die in foreign adventures thought up by and executed by Northern politicos and their foreign owners...er donors?

The major was better known as the "Giant in Gray" who served in the Army of Northern Virginia from 1862-1864. He was a large man even by today's standards, standing at 6'4", which made him a prime target on the battlefield. Heinrich was also famous for his memoires "Memoires of the Confederate War of Independence".
In 1862 he arrived in Charleston SC and joined J.E.B. Stuart as Captain, PACS in June. Stuart had this to say about the Prussian's perfromance.
"Capt. Heros von Borcke, a Prussian cavalry officer, who lately ran the blockade, assigned me by the honorable Secretary of War, joined in the charge of the First Squadron in gallant style, and subsequently, by his energy, skill, and activity, won the praise and admiration of all".
He was wounded in Middleburg, 19 June 1863. In 1867 he rejoined the Prussian army and fought in the Austro-Prussian War.

The overwhelming drive of the Yanks and Liberals to destroy the Battle Flag or Southern Cross is edging on obsession. Why are they so determined to destroy the flag? Because they consider it a flag of hate?
Under the US flag hundreds of thousands of Indians were butchered for 150 years. Under that flag, various legitimate uprisings like the Whiskey Revolt were crushed. Under that flag Washington to this day illegally occupies a fourth of Syria and steals its oil. But because some few fools and psychopaths used the symbol of the Southern Cross, it is a symbol of evil?
Or maybe, as their control of empire slips, they are desperate to destroy any and all traces of Southern culture before it remembers its strength and independence?

Irish Confederates
The largest immigrant group of the South in 1861 was the Irish and Scotch-Irish. This was in part driven by the starvation caused by Potato Famine of 1845-49 which itself was caused by the British forced monoculture of potatoes.
The Irish had found integration in the South much easier than in the North and as such held no issues against defending what they equally considered their motherland. Thousands answered the call to arms. These were not only foot soldiers but officers too, as a matter of fact, 6 Confederate generals were Irish.
The Fighting Irish also had the full backing of the broader Irish diaspora in the South. The Irish who had been victims of the cruel overlords in London saw the same fate starring them from Washington. The Irish Catholic Church was very active in supporting the Richmond government in total victory over the yanks.

In memoriam: Jefferson Davis, died this day in 1889 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

-Jefferson Davis, U.S. Senate, January 21st, 1861

The first of the Lees in America was Richard Lee I "The Immigrant", a destitute Gentleman from England. Richard I arrived in America with the aims of rebuilding his family wealth in the New World and establishing his family as successful and influential once again.
Once in the colony of Virginia, he began investing what little savings he had in the tobacco trade, quickly making a fortune such that he established himself as among the most successful of the early Planters.
His son, Richard Lee II would become a member of the House of Burgesses and the King's Council. Richard II left for his son, Richard III, his father's plantation, which he rented to his brothers.
The cost of rent? One peppercorn, black or white, to be owed on Christmas Day.

Continuing the Irish line, today we will discuss one of six Irish generals who served the Confederate cause. James Boggs April 8, 1796 – January 28, 1862.
Boggs was born in Ireland and immigrated to the US in 1807 with his parents and six siblings. They settled in Peddleton County, Virginia (now West Virginia), where they bought a large farm. In 1842 he became Justice of the County and in 1843 Sheriff. He was a successful farmer in his own right and a slave owner. In 1861 he was in the Virginia House of Delegates.
James Boggs served in the army of Northern Virginia. At the age of 64, which was a rather advanced age for those times, he took up the sword and went to do his part in the defense of the Confederacy. Boggs became brigadier general of the 18th Brigade in the Virginia militia. In June 1861 his militia was incorporated into the Army of Northern Virginia. Their first action was in Moorefield, Virginia (West Virginia) against Union home guard militia.

Lieutenant Robert Cobb Kennedy
Robert Cobb Kennedy was a Lieutenant of the Louisiana Regulars who saw combat at the battle at Shiloh's Hill. Taking a grievous injury that left him with such a limp that he was unfit for combat service, although promoted to Captain some time before. Captain Kennedy called on an old Westpoint classmate of his, General Wheeler, to help him stay in the service of the Army as a personal assistant.
Captain Kennedy served in this role for some short while until he was captured and sent away to an island prison. No prison would seem to hold him, though, as he almost immediately set about escaping, and succeeded on his first attempt by using a quickly fashioned ladder and even building an entire boat under the nose of the Yankee guards.
The Captain snuck out of the country and escaped in Canada where he made contact with the Confederate Secret Service, who, impressed by his story, immediately took him on as an agent.
