In this , video we dive into Patrick Henry’s iconic “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” speech of 1775—a fiery call that sparked the American Revolution and shaped the soul of the South. https://t.co/nJDYyoyzIq

Confederates to honor a veteran who was a slave.

He served all through the war, and for that he deserved to be honored.

The Confederate Negro hasn't been ignored by history, but has been deliberately ERASED by Marxists like Kevin Levin who claim they did not exist and that their history is nothing but a "lost cause myth".

The "antiracists" erased the Confederate Negro.

[Wanjiru Njoya @WanjiruNjoya]

I'd recommend these essays by Clyde Wilson. It's like someone opened the window and let in sunlight and fresh air, so you can read about the South without a musty air of grievance hanging over you.

He "does not regard Southern life as one dark, Gothic misfortune after another".

From @SCV_HD

Gentlemen,

I call on each of you to stand together—not for ourselves, but for our ancestors. The men who bled and died for The South. We, the Sons of Confederate Veterans, are in a fight where the stakes could not be higher. If we fail, we lose everything our forefathers fought for—our heritage, freedom of speech, freedom of expression, the right to be proud of our heritage, and the right of future generations to be proud descendants of Confederate veterans.

Now is the time to rise above division. I know we all have reasons for the grudges, quarrels, or infighting. I know it’s hard. We Southerners are very opinionated and independent people. Our enemies are united against us, and the only answer is for us to stand shoulder to shoulder as our ancestors once did. Let every camp and every compatriot know—we will not falter, we will not yield, and we will not allow the legacy of our fathers to be erased. Join me in the SCV FIRST Philosophy. Where we put our differences aside for the sake of our ancestors. God Bless Dixie, and may God guide us all. (If you don’t know what the SCV FIRST Philosophy is please check my page. I have a video on it. It’s NOT about putting the SCV above God. It’s about putting differences aside.)
For the Cause!

Your Brother,
Harrison F. Daws
5th Brigade Commander

I was honored to run for Camp Commander of the Samuel H. Powe Camp 255. I can not put into words what it means for my camp members to trust me with such an honor. I definitely can’t put into words the huge shoes left by my Dad. But it’s time to get to work.

SHELBY FOOTE - MISSISSIPPIAN and MEMPHIAN

(I owe y'all a good story)

When Ken Burns decided to do a documentary of the Civil War, he asked many people for suggestions on who he should interview. One suggestion was to interview an author down in Memphis who had written a history of the War. So, Burns did a bit of research on Shelby Foote, and he went down Memphis to ask him some questions, and get Foote on tape.

Burns said he would ask Foote a question, and Foote would not answer it directly, but he would ramble all over the place. Burns packed up and left thinking that the interview had been a waste of time.

When Burns got back to New Hampshire, and he started to look at the raw tape of Foote's interview, Burns was shocked. Foote told GREAT stories and gave great sound bites. Foote would be very usable, after his interview was edited.

After looking at ALL the raw film of all the interviews he had done, Burns had a good idea of who he wanted to interview, and what direction he wanted to go in on the documentary. Burns asked everyone he had interviewed to come to one location to a big room for a round table discussion. He wanted to ask them another series of questions to clear up some things he was still not clear on.

Most of the interviewees came to Washington and took part in Burns throwing out questions to anyone in the room who could answer them. Burns got a shock again. He said the only expert, author, or authority in the room who could answer any question he had about the War, without referring to notes, or to a book he had written, was Shelby Foote! Foote's 20 years researching and writing on the WHOLE War, paid off.
(Note: Ed Bearss, National Park head Historian, must not have been present)

Burns returned to Memphis for a much longer interview with Foote. Burns said he threw out general questions, and he let Foote ramble. He knew he had gold this second time around.

Shelby had no College degree. He had about two years at the University of North Carolina. There at UNC he had read books in the Library, sneaked into upper level Literature courses, and he had goofed off. He beat all those learned academics at their own game. He was the most used, most quoted "expert" in Burns whole Civil War documentary. He became an "overnight" STAR.

Nearly all this comes from the biography, Shelby Foote: A Writer's Life, by Chapman

This is about the only picture I have ever seen of Mr. Foote smiling. It is one of my favorites.

Yes, I am a native Memphian of 56 years.
Yes. my mom gave me for Christmas, Foote's three volume CW history when he completed it in 1974.
Yes, I did meet Mr. Foote at least 3 times, and he was VERY kind to me for 25 minutes on the phone, when I asked him to call me about the University Greys, one time.
Yes, I do identify very strongly with Mr. Foote. At age 67, I have very few heroes. Mr. Foote is certainly one of the few!

This week, I have the privilege of going to Winchester to flag the cemetery there. My father, Forrest , and I both love flagging and cleaning cemeteries. It is my favorite way to spend the first two weeks of Confederate History and Heritage Month.
