It is not easy to defend the Confederacy nowadays, as the anti-South hatred has been stoked to a degree greater than anytime since reconstruction. It's as if a form of madness has spread across the nation like a plague. The mere display of a Confederate flag results in sharp cries of outrage and anguish, with much posing and posturing by those who would defend us from it.
Most Americans don't remotely know or understand what happened in America between 1860 and 1877, the time period that includes Lincoln's war and the reconstruction that came afterwards. However, the Northern version of the history of that time period is largely a lie, a self-serving, massive distortion of what actually happened and why.
I have discovered a Southern writer who explains what happened and why, one Lochlainn Seabrook of Sea Raven Press. I just finished his book Abraham Lincoln: the Southern View. Next on my reading list is Everything You Were Taught About American Slavery is Wrong, Ask a Southerner. Both of these books are weighty tomes, 654 pages for the former, 1020 pages for the latter.
The book on Lincoln inflamed my feelings against the North, Lincoln and Yankeedom. If I suddenly attained supernatural powers, I would restore the Confederate States of America immediately, then resurrect and hang Lincoln, Sherman, Grant and Sheridan for crimes against humanity. Since I can't do that, I can continue to learn, and to propagate the truth, in the hopes that future generations may go looking for it and someday find it.
You should do the same. Check out Sea Raven Press at their website, here.
