Once again, the Atlanta-Journal Constitution ignores its own archives and attacks the history of the South. They even lie and say Trump is restoring bases to "Confederate" names. These people are rotten. #cancelculture #woke ajc.com/opinion/2025/0…
"I hope the negroes' fidelity will be duly rewarded, and regret that we are not in a position to aid and protect them. There is, I observe, a controversy, which I regret, as to allowing negroes to testify in court. From brother Joe, many years ago, I derived the opinion that they…
In a time when history is twisted to serve politics, @Jeff_Davis1808 is a God-send. Calm, sharp, and rooted in truth—he doesn’t chase applause, he defends memory. A rare voice restoring honor with facts, not feelings. Thank you, Jeff. #HistoryMatters #SouthernHeritage

"all of us, whether we live in the east or west, in the north or south, have the right merely as Americans to feel pride in every great deed done by any American in the past." -Teddy Roosevelt 10/18/1905 (Richmond, VA) #history #ushistory #quote #AmericanHistory #quote
Should the Trump administration restore the Confederate Memorial in Arlington National Cemetery? (See information in first comment from Arlington)
To make the best of the existing condition is alike required by patriotism and practical sense. The negro is unquestionably to be at last the victim; because, when brought into conflict, the inferior race must be overborne; but it is possible to defer the conflict and to preserve…
Our injuries cease to be grievous in proportion as Christian charity enables us to forgive those who trespass against us, & to pray for our enemies...Separated from my friends of this world, my Heavenly Father has drawn nearer to His goodness and my unworthiness are more sensibly…
My Dear Mr. Davis, You can conceive better than I can express the misery which your friends have suffered from your long imprisonment and the other afflictions incident thereto. To none has this been more painful than to me, and the impossibility of affording relief has added…
Like you, I feel sorry for the negroes. What has been done would gradually and measurably be corrected by the operation of the ordinary laws governing the relation of labor to capital, if they were let alone. But interference by those who have a theory to maintain by the…
What, under Providence, may be in store for us I have no ability to foresee. I have tried to do my duty to my fellowmen, and while my penitent prayers are offered to our Heavenly Father for forgiveness of the sins committed against Him, I have the sustaining belief that He is…
“It honored the bravery of the Confederates without diminishing the fact that U.S. was still united. The war that had split the country had finally been healed, and Shipley was part of that process.“ fredericknewspost.com/news/lifestyle…
#Onthisday (7/26/1865) James Garfield writes the same "racist" comments as everybody else. His NPS site portrayed him as an anti-slavery egalitarian. It was all bogus. #history
"I have a strong feeling of repugnance when I think of the Negro being made our political equal. And I would be glad if they could be colonized, sent to heaven, or got rid of in any decent way.” -James Garfield 7/26/1865 #history #ushistory #quoteoftheday
#Onthisday 7/26/1864 a New York paper argues that slavery is not the cause of the war because it is attacked. After all, the Yankees are destroying all types of property! Read the blurb. #history
On 7/26/1864, the Daily Columbus Enquirer, a GA paper, reprinted a comment from a New York paper mocking the arguments used to attack slavery. I suggest everyone read this blurb! #history #ushistory #slavery
A cemetery containing both Confederate soldiers and Blacks (some of whom were slaves) just re-opened in GA. Surprisingly, the article shows restraint and a desire to advocate unity. wtvm.com/2025/07/24/cem…
The TJ Heritage Report should be the first source for the Jefferson-Hemings myth. However, this video is certainly worth a watch as it closely follows the details in the report. Enjoy! #history youtube.com/watch?v=EaXwvH…
#Onthisday (7/25/1842) Lincoln's political hero writes that although slavery is evil, it isn't as bad as "immediate emancipation." Americans, North and South, who hated slavery did not believe a large free Black population was desirable. #history #slavery #ushistory
"Although I believe slavery to be an evil, I regard it as a far less evil than would arise out of an immediate emancipation of the slaves of the US, & their remaining here mixed up in our communities." -Henry Clay 7/25/1842 #ushistory #slavery #history
Now that the Lee Charlottesville Dedication Speech is posted, I should remind everyone that the media lied about Lee’s opposition to monuments. He was concerned about the timing! #History #historylessons
Myth: Robert E. Lee Opposed "Confederate" Monuments “As regards the erection of such a monument as is contemplated: my conviction is, that however grateful it would be to the feelings of the South, the attempt in the present condition of the Country would have the effect of…
Congratulations to Mulberry Cemetery for seeking unity and restoration, but this story buried a potential lede. This could be the largest burial site of Black Confederates. “300 Confederate soldiers and 1,000 African-Americans…slaves who played a vital role during the Civil…
