Dave Chambers writes this excellent essay about some academic twit named Roosevelt who supposedly "purifys" the history of the War of Northern /aggression: https://counter-currents.com/2025/07/pu ... history-2/

[Kermit] Roosevelt admits that, as far as the Declaration and the Constitution were concerned, Southern secession was legitimate…

Of course the C.S.A.’s secession was legitimate. This Kermit jerk is as big a flip-flopper as was his relative Franklin who campaigned for president with the promise that he would keep Americans out of the European war. How did his promise work out?

Excellent, well-researched essay, Dave. Your Southern sympathies are not concealed. I, too, have Confederate ancestors, lots of them, and was an enthusiastic follower of our history, beginning in the eighth grade,1961, with the 100th anniversary of what we knew as the War of Northern Aggression, since it was not a civil war at all.

I painted a series of Confederate leaders’ portraits back in the 1980s and gave most of them away to my Southern friends. A favorite was of Confederate cavalry hero John Singleton Mosby, who, after that catastrophic brothers’ war on American soil, practiced law in Bristol, VA, not 30 miles from our National Alliance headquarters. That portrait I painted of Col. Mosby is treasured by my first wife and hangs in her bedroom where she admires it daily.

I just added a new title to our online bookstore this month and have been reading it: “Mosby and His Men: A Record of the Adventures of the Renowned Partisan Ranger” at CosmotheistChurch.org — 1868, by Col. J.M. Crawford, C.S.A. This 375-page, illustrated volume can be enjoyed by young and old alike with its large print. $22. I just finished Chapter VII when Mosby and 20 of his men strode into a Union camp behind enemy lines and captured the Yankee General, Stoughton, two captains, 38 other prisoners, their arms, equipment, and 58 horses. Incredibly bold military feat!
