War of Northern Agression

Today April 12 is the day that we remember the start of the "Civil War" This year is the 150th anniversary. Unfortunately history is written by the victors. I really don't have time to get into details but I wanted to list a couple of books (the things with them funny symbols that make up words that ya use to prop Junior up in his high chair).

FYI the flag you see here is the REAL Stars and Bars, the First National Confederate Flag.Not the red flag with the blue "x" with 13 stars. That is a Naval jack if it is rectangular (some army units used it also) and if it is a square, it is a Battle Flag.

That is a per peeve of mine how people fly the Navy jack on a flagpole or from their house. They need this one, or there are 2 more. That is another topic.

For those of you in Bithlo that like big books, The South Was Right by James and Walter Kennedy. It is very detailed and has many references and examples of why the Lost Cause was a just cause and how Slavery was not the reason for the war. It has letters written by former slaves. Stuff they do not teach in school.

For a book with similar subject (actually makes reference to the above book) but with some ligthhearted humor and less words, The Pollitically Incorect Guide to the South (And Why It Will Rise Again) by Clint Johnson. Kyle if youre out there reading this give me my copy back it's been a couple years now. Oh and my Sony Hi-8 charger.
