Often I have written articles in which I used the term “Yankee/Marxist” to describe those who made war on the South in 1861 and who have held not only the South, but now the rest of the country, in a repressive version of “reconstruction” that has never really ended and, if anything, has gotten even worse in recent decades.
Those who have not bothered to do the history homework or who have gotten their version of “history” from public school history pabulum will laugh at that statement. That’s okay. Let them laugh. In the end they will end up choking on their laughter. Although they might not use the same terminology, other authors more qualified than I have reached many of the same conclusions.

I have this book and know Al Benson.
ReplyDeleteIt is an incredible book, which, when I started reading it, my jaws literally dropped and stayed that way! This book contains UNBELIEVABLE documented information that simply can't be found anywhere else easily. I could go into details but I would be here writing as much as the book is long in passing the information on. It is a an absolute MUST have book.
As for the term, "Yankee/Marxist", I concluded that same thing before ever reading this book or talking to Al Benson. I have continually tried to educate people at other blogs, especially those from Northern States that the word and term "Yankee" ABSOLUTELY does not apply to everyone that lives in the North.
And that it is actually a *high* or really bad insult.
Yankee is a term that denotes a mindset, principles, dogma and certain belief in life. Marxism comes closet to matching those beliefs in everything from religion to politics and the way one conducts their lives in society. Being considered Southern is similar in the sense that being identified as Southern can mean where you are born or where your heart and spirit lays. It's actually a state of mind and belief, or a faith, which is also a mindset. This makes it easier to understand that Yankee is a term representing a person who believes a certain way, mainly from a Marxist philosophy POV.
As a side note, almost no one knows the real meaning behind the term/word "Yankee", with everybody normally associating it with all Americans during the Revolutionary War and the North right before and since Lincoln's War. Originally the word comes from the Mohawk and Iroquois Indians. Noah Webster used the word in his first American Dictionary of 1828. His definition was, for simplicity, meaning, "English", because Indians couldn't easily pronoun that word. However that was not the full meaning of the word. The Indians actually coined the word because of the English settlers who were stealing and enslaving their people, mainly their children.
So, you see, the Yankees and their Puritan version of history could not allow the truth be told, so they hid the full truth. How odd and hypocritical that the Yankees could do this and still have the gall to vilify Southerns for slavery! The full Indian meaning for Yankee is, Englishmen who enslaves us, or English Slave Traders.
This whole thing, every time I hear the word Yankees in reference to the New York Yankees baseball team. The first thing I automatically think of when hearing the New York Yankees is, The New York Slave Traders!
In closing, Yankees has always meant LIBERALS, SOCIALISTS, LEFTISTS, MARXISTS, all of which are HUMANISTS. It was that way originally from the Indians who identified them as thieves and self-righteous people, and it has expanded from the times before Lincoln's War to now include every group and philosophy and ideology of people, we as Southerners and true conservatives are most opposed too. They are our natural enemies, and have always been so since the beginning.

DeleteAmen.
Then by definition, I am not a damn Yankee, even if I was born in the North...? thank God, that's a relief..... I still feel guilty for Sherman's march of destruction to the sea. talk about terrorism.

The Yankee Problem In America, By Clyde Wilson

"By Yankee I do not mean everybody from north of the Potomac and Ohio......I am using the term historically to designate that peculiar ethnic group descended from New Englanders, who can be easily recognized by their arrogance, hypocrisy, greed, lack of congeniality, and penchant for ordering other people around. Puritans long ago abandoned anything that might be good in their religion but have never given up the notion that they are the chosen saints whose mission is to make America, and the world, into the perfection of their own image.
