From the Abbeville Institute:

Nothing is more indicative of the ongoing degradation of American  culture than the fate of the once noble Commonwealth of Virginia—not long ago widely admired as the mother of States and Presidents—inseparable from Patrick Henry, Washington, Jefferson, Lewis and Clark, Lee and Jackson.

Now shallow, opportunistic politicians ignorant of American foundations swarm in every Southern State. In Virginia they have gained unusual power from the effluvium of arrogant, overpaid bureaucrats swarming out of D.C. into their mini mansions poisoning the beautiful Virginia countryside. Monument Avenue, a…

From the Abbeville Institute:

In the middle of July, 1864, Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, and Kennesaw Mountain had been fought and Sherman was at the gates of Atlanta. In Virginia, Grant had fought Lee for two months and had lost as many men as Lee had in his entire army at the beginning of the campaign, and was now investing Petersburg. Jubal Early’s Second Corps had raided Washington and had come within a day of entering it with his troops. The butcher’s bill was so high that Abraham Lincoln was calling – without any success – for another half million volunteers to subjugate the South. At this point, many were the…

From the Abbeville Institute:

The U.S. Army’s removal of the Reconciliation Monument from Arlington, with the approval of your Congress, is nothing less than an attempt to remove the Southern people from American history.

The lead instigator in this atrocity seems to have been a general with a funny name, not a West Pointer and not a soldier but a bureaucrat.  One of many non-soldiers in the high  bureaucratic ranks of our bloated and incompetent military.

This fellow wrote a book called Robert E. Lee and Me, which would be more appropriately titled Robert E. Lee and Nobody.  You would think that a general charged with…

From the Abbeville Institute:

I AM THE SOUTH
(After Padraig Pearse, Mise Etre)

I am the South:
I am older than Helena’s dead.

Great my glory:
I that bore Jackson and Lee.

Great now my shame:
My children that bartered a mother.

Great now my sorrow:
My true sons betrayed.

I am the South:
I am lonelier than Helena’s dead.

From the Abbeville Institute:

A few days ago, I attended the annual Robert E. Lee Banquet in Virginia. I felt so at home and surrounded by Southern comrades who shared my values. We all had a grand time. In these trying days, it is very difficult to stand up for traditional Southern values.

I often think of my mentor Cleanth Brooks–whose grandfather was a lieutenant in the 7th Tennessee Cavalry, CSA, Forrest’s Corps–and his lifelong closest friend, the writer Robert Penn Warren.

“Red Warren” (as he was called by his closest friends) once asked his grandfather, the former Captain Gabriel Penn CSA, 15th Consolidated…

From the Abbeville Institute:

We Southerners  have our heroes, Lee, Jackson, Hampton, Longstreet, Hood, Pettigrew, and the list goes on. But few of us look to the likes of William Quantrill as hero material, most likely due to his fighting  tactics not being in line with with “gentlemanly” warfare. He is generally denigrated for his planning and execution of the raid on Lawrence, Kansas.  I say that Quantrill is very much the Southern hero and deserves a place, in our history, alongside the aforementioned men.

To understand Quantrill and  his perceived viciousness, one must look to what caused this young man, this…

Promised changes to Confederate imagery at Stone Mountain slow coming

(Lawton Constitution) ATLANTA — The Confederate flags are still there. All four of them.
They still fly a few hundred paces up Stone Mountain, high atop their poles in a stone plaza, where the hundreds or thousands of people who summit the granite outcropping each day can’t help but plod past.
Some 15 months ago, the state authority that manages Stone Mountain vowed that the flags would be moved to a less visited part of the Georgia park: a relatively simple undertaking as the Stone Mountain Memorial Association made baby steps toward offering a “21st-century perspective” at the home of the world’s largest Confederate monument.
Documents obtained through the Open Records Act show a contract for the relocation work was actually signed almost a year ago.
But the flags are still there.
“We just kind of put it on the back burner and left it there,” memorial association CEO Bill Stephens admitted in a recent interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Stone Mountain’s longtime private management partner pulled out at the end of July, citing “protests and division” among its reasons. Stephens said the transition to a new manager for the park’s attractions, hotels and conference centers has “taken the oxygen out of the room for anything else.”…Read the rest
