Confederate History and Heritage Month
Tennessee Senator Edward Ward Carmack said it best in 1903:
“The Confederate Soldiers were our kinfolk and our heroes. We testify to the country our enduring fidelity to their memory. We commemorate their valor and devotion. There were some things that were not surrendered at Appomattox. We did not surrender our rights and history; nor was it one of the conditions of surrender that unfriendly lips should be suffered to tell the story of that war or that unfriendly hands should write the epitaphs of the Confederate dead. We have the right to teach our children the true history of the war, the causes that led up to it and the principles involved.”
Southerners continue to remember the men and women of the Old Confederacy throughout the year but Confederate Memorial Day is even more special to us when old times are not forgotten.

No, the question of unilateral secession is settled law. The question of secession is not - because no one (other than West Virginia perhaps) has ever tried it correctly. The question of rebellion is certainly open, although the WBTS provided some clues as to potential outcomes.
I understand what you are saying and would like to point out. "Settled law' is only as effective as one side's ability to enforce it or the other side's willingness to ignore it. Present political circumstances prove that. Unilateral seccesion is a distinct possibilty which could result from outright rebellion. As far as what conclusions that can be drawn from the ACW; A) where-with-all and ability will only take you so far; beans and bullets will carry the day B) history is subjective; as the victors get to tell the tale C) at some point, someone at Charleston Harbor made the conscience decision to put match to fuse.
That's my take, your milage may vary. We defintitely live in interesting times, don't we?
Sounds more like Wlat (misspelling deliberate).
WHAT?!?
Txrefugee just gave the best description of our “union” that I have ever heard or seen.
I always compared it to Muslims winning converts by the sword but, damn.
*applause*
No discussion would be complete without the ever-psychotic John Brown.

PMS.
Oh, yeah. Posting history...it’s no big deal.
Okay, let me get a paper towel to mop up this diet Mt. Dew...BRB.
You’re right. That was good (sadly).
Actually, both of those descriptions work for me.
Brown probably considered Shepherd “collateral damage.” /S
I remember seeing an old Errol Flynn movie about the Civil War; I can’t remember the title. Raymond Massey played John Brown to eye-bulging, nutcase perfection.
Wlat?
What?
I have *got* to see that.
There’s a pair of wax figures in a cellar in Harper’s Ferry.
One is a young, terrified black man.
The other is a terrifying, raving lunatic JB, poised in sinister mid-lurch, behind him.
I have yet to figure out exactly *what* they were portraying.
[Shepherd’s last moments?]
Somewhere, I have a pic.
I’ll share it if I run across it.
The movie was "Santa Fe Trail." Here's a pic:
Holy frogsnot!
That is almost identical to the waxen wacko in Harper’s Ferry!
I just got chills!
LOL, makes you wonder if Raymond Massey used some old image of John Brown as a guide...maybe the Harper’s Ferry display did, too.
“Santa Fe Trail”
Good flick, though Hollywood history. It’s on YouTube.
Beats me but it is uncanny.
I have about 15 external hard drives to hunt through but I’ll find it.
Eventually.
:D
You know, I just remembered, Ronald Reagan was in that one, too.
