From the Abbeville Institute: [A new Southern publisher has appeared in Louisiana, Tall Men Books.  Its first book is a republication of Walter Lynwood Fleming’s classic The Civil War and Reconstruction in Alabama.  This is a master work of historianship that lays forth, chapter and verse, the corruption and oppression of so-called “Reconstruction.”  We cannot be reminded of that too often.  The following is from the Foreword by the editor George Bagby.]

Reconstruction is the single most confusing and controversial period in American history. The tinderbox of race relations and the new organization of the central…

From the Abbeville Institute:

In 1934, FDR was the first President to visit Roanoke County, Virginia, since George Washington had 200 years before as a young surveyor and soldier. FDR was to race through Salem (our home town) on his way to honor the new World War I veterans’ hospital nearby. The locals crowded about a right turn where his car had to slow down.

Grandmother was lucky–she was a friend of the elderly, opinionated owner of the drugstore on that corner, and was invited to the owner’s yard behind the store, a site 4 feet above the street, so our view was not barred.

He had invited two Confederate vets who…

From the Abbeville Institute:

Mass immigration played a large role in the War for Southern Independence in some obvious ways. It provided a workforce for large scale industrialization, it populated the Midwest and created a large population and economic advantage when war did come, it brought large Catholic and Lutheran populations to the north threatening Yankee cultural purity, and it brought the neo-Marxists 48’ers to America following the failed European socialist revolutions of 1848. A less obvious impact of mass immigration was on African Americans in the North and labor in a broader sense before and after the…

Air Force Academy diversity training tells cadets to use words that ‘include all genders,’ drop ‘mom and dad’
Air Force Academy also tells cadets to be ‘Color Conscious’ instead of ‘Colorblind’

(FOX) A diversity and inclusion training by the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado instructs cadets to use words that "include all genders" and to refrain from saying things like "mom" and "dad."
The slide presentation titled, "Diversity & Inclusion: What it is, why we care, & what we can do," obtained by Fox News Digital, advises cadets to use "person-centered" and gender-neutral language when describing individuals.
"Some families are headed by single parents, grandparents, foster parents, two moms, two dads, etc.: consider ‘parent or caregiver’ instead of ‘mom and dad,’" the presentation states. "Use words that include all genders: ‘Folks’ or ‘Y’all’ instead of ‘guys’; ‘partner’ vs. ‘boyfriend or girlfriend.’"
"Not ‘Colorblind’ or ‘I don’t see color,’ but Color Conscious," it adds. "We see Color/Patterns AND VALUE people for their uniqueness."..

(Bacon’s Rebellion) In a protest that will never make the national news, an estimated 75 people turned out for a weekend march in Richmond to denounce the latest killing of a child in a drive-by shooting. Fifteen-year-old Tynashia Humphrey was walking to the store from her grandmother’s home near the infamous Gilpin Court housing project when she was struck by a stray bullet. “Stop the killing! Save the children!” the marchers chanted.
“My baby had only been 15 for two weeks,” Karen Cheatham, the girl’s grandmother and guardian, told the Richmond Times-Dispatch. “She was walking to the store. She was out of my hands for two hours. She was supposed to return back to me at 9 o’clock to get ready for school…. Hold on to your babies and hold on to them tight because tomorrow is not promised to none of us.”
The march, I fear, is totally in vain. I see no sign that city politicians, General Assembly legislators, or the media have any inkling of why killings have spiked in the past two years, much less what to do about them. As a society, we are flailing ineffectually as we continue to apply the same bromides that never contained much truth to begin with….Read the rest

Inner-city Memphis residents sound off on safety after livestreamed shooting, Eliza Fletcher killing
Memphis locals give mixed answers on whether the city is a safe place to live

(FOX) People in Memphis, Tennessee, sounded off on the city’s crime rate after a teacher was abducted and killed and after a gunman went on a livestreamed shooting spree.
"Right now the kids ain’t going to no community centers or nothing, learning anything," Larry said. "Bunch of gangs got ‘em. They’re picking up guns, smoking weed."
But another Memphis woman, Willette, said: "It’s like everywhere else to me, the crime rates, everything."
It’s still a safe place, you just got to watch your surroundings," she continued. "I don’t care wherever you go, it’s bad. Not just Memphis."
A gunman went on a shooting rampage in Memphis, killing four and injuring three others during a Facebook livestream on Sept. 8. Days earlier, Memphis teacher Eliza Fletcher was abducted and killed. Memphis ex-con Cleotha Henderson was charged with first-degree murder and faces a slew of other charges related to the case.
One man told Fox News it was not safe "in the hood."…

Longtime business moving after Civil War store reopens

(axios) The Eaton family spent decades running a business in downtown Kennesaw, but the city’s decision to allow Wildman’s Civil War Surplus, a controversial shop that showcases racist artifacts, to reopen will bring that investment to an end.
Driving the news: Eaton Chiropractic will close its doors on Main Street and relocate outside the city limits. Its owner, Dr. Cris Eaton-Welsh, told Axios she sold the building and will move to a new office off Cobb Parkway.
A sign in her business window indicates the office will move Oct. 1.
Her father, James "Doc" Eaton, who resigned in June from the Kennesaw City Council in protest of Wildman’s opening, launched the practice in 1992.
What they’re saying: Father and daughter both told Axios that Kennesaw ignored its own building codes that would show Wildman’s has serious structural issues.
"I just got…tired of nothing being done," Doc Eaton said. "And when they renewed the business [license]… I just said screw it. I’m done."
Catch up quick: Wildman’s Civil War Surplus opened in 1971 and was owned and operated by Dent Myers…Read the rest
