Here in my hometown of Statesboro, Georgia the local chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans meets in a banquent room of a local restaurant every third Thursday of each month. During our December meeting the manager on duty at the restaurant, a black woman, barged into the banquent room and told us that corporate headquarters had informed her that meetings of any sort were no longer allowed. I called corporate headquarters later and found out this was a lie. The manager on duty did not like what we stood for and wanted to get rid of us.
One of the things we stand for is the protection of the Confederate monument in Statesboro. When a BLM crowd threatened to tear it down in 2020, we stood armed in front of it. Later that year, when black activists tried to get the county commission to put a “contextual marker” next to the monument explaining that it represented “white superemacy,” we spoke at the commission meeting against that proposal and it was defeated. As I stated in my remarks at that meeting, the reason the Confederates fought was very simple: their homeland was being invaded and raped by Union soldiers. I reminded those present that the reason the radical left hates Confederate monuments with such intensity is that they wish there to be no reminder that there is a breed of men who will stand up and fight against a tyrannical federal government that has overstepped its Constitutional bounds.
But why did Lincoln order the invasion of the South? It was not to free the slaves. He stated explicitly in his first inaugural address that he had no intention of doing so. However, he also made it clear that he would use force to secure the tariff revenue collected at Southern ports. At that time the federal government was funded by tariffs, most of which came through Soputhern ports. In other words Lincoln launched and prosecuted our bloodiest war, in which over 650,000 Americans were killed, not to save the union and not to free the slaves, but to keep the federal government from going broke.
Our Confederate ancestors went through four years of unimaginable hell to protect their homeland. Nine out of ten of them did not own slaves. They did what anyone of worth would do when invaded by a foreign power: they fought. They would have been proud in 2020 when a BLM mob threatened to come to Sylvania and Statesboro and wreak havoc after a black thug was killed by a state trooper, and militia groups — their ancestors — strapped on their AR-15’s and took to the streets, and the would-be rioters and looters marched quietly and then fled.
Never, never forget the sacrifices our Confederate ancestors made for us, and why they made them. The Biden regime, in power by means of a stolen election, is working to ruin our country. This is not what our Confederate ancestors fought for, nor what our Revolutionary War ancestors fought for either. We are heirs to a great culture. We need to honor it.
