The Black Flag, Sir

Via Rebellion

"At 1:20 in, Stonewall Jackson shares With Jeb Stuart his view of the consequences of a Northern victory, and what Southerners had to steel themselves for to prevent it:"

The black flag, sir.

If the North triumphs, it is not alone the destruction of our property. It is the prelude to anarchy, infidelity...the loss of free and responsible government. It is the triumph of commerce. The banks, factories.

We should meet the Federal invader on the verge of just defense...and raise the black flag. No quarter to the violators of our homes and firesides. Our political leadership is too timid to face the reality of this coming war.

They should look to the Bible. It is full of such wars.
