NC Compatriots:
The following news articles are from the "Civil War News" concerning the Confederate Memorial Service in 2009 and the Fredericksburg Va. City Council meeting that I attended last month.
I spoke not representing the SCV, but as a relative of a Confederate Soldier, that has been degraded and demoralized by bigots of the lowest magnitude! I was only allowed five minutes to speak. One of the council members stated, days after the meeting, that I was almost "inflammatory"! This council does not consider their disgraceful, inhumane, bigoted actions as nothing but spiritual in nature!
If we, as Sons of Confederate Veterans don't stand up in a manner that is forceful in intent, we are going to finally lose (Give Away) our Southern Heritage and will have failed in our pledge and promise to defend the Confederate Soldiers! The heritage that we in 2011 leave will be shameful and deserve to be hidden!
I closed my statement to them, by quoting Joseph Powell Pippen,Esq. in his statement at a Confederate Veterans Service on May 10,1911.
" I say we cannot know your suffering, but this we do know; We love and honor you, veterans, and are justly proud of the heritage you have given us. Just so long as warm blood flows in the veins of man, so long will the words 'Confederate Veterans' cause that blood to tingle with glorious pride, and if there be one among us, born in our glorious Southland, who is not so thrilled, every drop of stagnant blood proclaims him bastard to the South and a coward to all the world."
HERE.
Progressive politically correct politics have already consumed and infected most Southern born children! How much more are we going to "give away" before,we as Sons of Confederate Veterans take a stand, a real stand, and say no more?

Descendant Criticizes City Council’s
Plan To Move Confederate Memorial
By Scott C. Boyd
FREDERICKSBURG, Va. – The great-great-nephew of one of the 51 Confederate soldiers listed on a monument that is the subject of a lawsuit between the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) and the city spoke to the city council on Dec. 14.
Dan Boyette drove 260 miles from his home in La Grange, N.C., to urge the council to overturn its decision to move the stone monument. It was placed by the local SCV camp in April 2009 to honor the soldiers who are buried nearby in an unmarked cemetery in front of the former Maury School on Barton Street.
Boyette used his allowed five minutes during the meeting’s public comment period to criticize the council for permitting the parking lot in front of Maury School to be created, paving over the unmarked cemetery and said his family will fight removal of the monument.
Boyette’s ancestor is Pvt. William Sherwood Boyette of the 1st North Carolina Cavalry, his great-grandfather’s brother.
Castigating some for allegedly claiming his ancestor and other Confederates were not American soldiers, Boyette answered that his family has served in American wars from the Civil War through the Vietnam War.
Making a distinction about the Civil War, he said, “I am proud to say that not one Boyette served in Abraham Lincoln’s attempted genocide of Southern Americans.”
“You stand here declaring pride in the history of the U.S. military, while spitting upon and pointing your crooked, sanctimonious finger at Confederate soldiers for protecting their homes from Lincoln’s invading army,” he said.
Boyette decried the damage Union troops caused to civilians and their property during the Battle of Fredericksburg.
“The indignity of partisan politics and excessive government power over its citizens continues on in this chamber tonight. Must there be another war of this magnitude? This city government has lost all of its sensibilities,” he said
SCV Matthew Fontaine Maury Camp 1722 installed the monument after receiving a building permit from city officials.
The monument is on a traffic island on which the much larger Fredericksburg Area War Memorial to area war dead from conflicts of the 20th and 21st centuries already stood.
At the request of the Fredericksburg Area Veterans Council, which erected the first monument in November 2008, the city council passed an ordinance designating the entire island as being exclusively for the Fredericksburg Area War Memorial and ordering relocation of the Confederate monument to an unspecified location.
That sparked the SCV lawsuit in November 2009.
Asked later about Boyette’s remarks, city council member Kerry P. Devine told Civil War News that his comments were “somewhat inflammatory” and “directed not at really what the issue is.”
Devine stressed the city’s obligation to the FAVC, “a group we’ve been working with for over a decade.”
The case is scheduled for trial in Fredericksburg Circuit Court on April 19.
CWN reporter Scott C. Boyd is a member of SCV Camp 1722 and assisted with the Confederate Monument project.
