In sum, it is hard to look at the South’s experience during the American Revolution as anything but extraordinary. This article provides a minor glimpse into the most exciting and often forgotten theater. Yankee mythology effectively frames the American Revolution in the following way: Tea Party, Minute Men at Lexington and Concord, Bunker Hill, Declaration of Independence, Washington Crosses the Delaware, Valley Forge, Saratoga, and finally Yorktown.

Culturally, socially, commercially, and physically, Southerners were stripped of their pride, starved, humiliated, and in many cases, subjected to sexual abuse by black troops with either the tacit approval of abolitionist officers or by direct command. Someone needed to defend the Southern people, especially Southern women, and the Ku Klux Klan was born from that need.”

For decades, their descendants have thrown a massive party that now attracts thousands of people to the twin cities of Americana and Santa Bárbara d’Oeste to […]
“Most importantly, don’t despair. Accept the challenge of history. “Every time I look at Atlanta, I see what a quarter million Confederate soldiers died to prevent,” wrote John Shelton Reed. Today, that statement applies not just to Atlanta or Richmond but to the entire country.
Once again, we are called to resist. It is not a struggle of arms, but of will. It is not North versus South, but patriotic whites versus those who despise us.”
It may seem daunting, but we have Lee’s example before us. Do your duty and leave the rest in God’s hands.”
