Tennessee Senator Edward Ward Carmack said it best in 1903:
“The Confederate Soldiers were our kinfolk and our
heroes. We testify to the country our enduring fidelity to their memory.
We commemorate their valor and devotion. There were some things that
were not surrendered at Appomattox.
We did not surrender our rights and
history; nor was it one of the conditions of surrender that unfriendly
lips should be suffered to tell the story of that war or that unfriendly
hands should write the epitaphs of the Confederate dead. We have the
right to teach our children the true history of the war, the causes that
led up to it and the principles involved.”
