Conquered But Never Defeated

-- I am a Christian and the son of a conquered but undefeated nation. For the South had
peaceably seceded from the United States as a last resort to secure the
Constitutional liberties under which all states had agreed to act in concert by
forming a limited national government. Whereupon the Southern states formed a
new government of their own, claiming the same rights as stated in The
Declaration of Independence as belonging to all people: "— That to secure these
rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from
the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes
destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish
it, and to institute new Government". These Southern states were invaded at the
behest of a tyrannical government, brutally crushed in battle, their homes,
their property, and their livelihoods destroyed. They were forced to rejoin the
"United States" at the point of a gun and punished by nine years of vindictive
military occupation. No other people subdued by the United States have ever
been treated more cruelly and less humanely than was the prostrated South.
Accordingly, the United States is forever compromised by an act of profound evil
and a blatant hypocrisy so perverse that no myth such as "fighting a war to free
the slaves" or other rewritings of history shall ever hide its guilt or
ameliorate its shame.

The current circumstances in which the U.S. finds itself, today, are the direct
result of this great wrong and the concurrent elimination of the checks and
balances previously held by the states over the federal government. -- Roy H

I hope someday for the re-emergence of a Southern Nation, which extols Southern
principles, Southern religious values and Southern culture, free from the apostasy and perversions of our
current government. If Obama destroys this country, as seems his purpose,
perhaps we can pick up the pieces and reform a Southern nation.
