Jackson’s Value To Lee
Second only to Robert E. Lee as a great American military commander, Stonewall Jackson’s death proved to be a calamity which may have cost Lee the battle at Gettysburg. Jackson, like Lee, could handily defeat far superior forces as he did between April 30 and June 9, 1862 in the Valley, frustrating 70,000 Northern troops with less than 18,000 men of his own.

Jackson’s Value to Lee:
“It was not until the spring of 1862, when Lee became Jefferson Davis’ military advisor and Commander of the Army of Northern Virginia that Jackson’s independent command in the Shenandoah Valley came under Lee’s control. It was at this time that the partnership between Lee and Jackson first took form.
At once Lee sensed Jackson’s integrity. Lenoir Chambers…wrote that while Jackson and Lee were far apart, as far as communications went, they were always able, through their letters and orders, to project themselves into the future. Each had a sagacity to discern what the other was thinking or desired. Lee never had a subordinate so quick to grasp his thoughts or so reliable in carrying them out or, when on his own, in taking care of himself while he fitted all his movements to the grand purpose as did Jackson in the Valley Campaign of 1862.
On several occasions, Jackson demonstrated his zealous devotion to his chieftain. During the winter of 1863-63 [near Fredericksburg], Lee once sent word that he wanted to talk with Jackson at his convenience on a matter of no great urgency. Thereupon Jackson arising at daybreak and without breakfast rode through a blinding snow storm to Lee’s headquarters, 15 miles away.
Lee expressed amazement, saying: “You know, General, I did not wish you to come in such a storm. It was a matter of no importance and I am sorry you had such a ride.” Thereupon Jackson blushed and simply said: “I received your note, General.” Jackson’s personal loyalty to Lee was intimately bound up with his confidence in Lee’s military ability. Once when an officer had criticized Lee, Jackson instantly replied: “Lee is a phenomenon. He is the only man I would follow blindfold.”
On that beautiful Sunday morning of May 10, 1863, when he was informed that Jackson could probably not live through the day, Lee at first refused to believe it, saying: “Surely God will not take from us now that we need him so much.” Notifying Gen. Jeb Stuart of Jackson’s death, Lee said: “The great and good Jackson is no more…May his spirit pervade our whole army; our country will then be secure.”
It was only after the war that General Lee gave a glimpse of what he may have thought in 1863 of the ultimate consequence of the removal of Jackson from the scene. In a conversation with one of his friends at Washington College, of which he was then president, he remarked: “If I had had Stonewall Jackson, as far as a man can see, I should have won the battle of Gettysburg.”

Huck Finn And The N Word:)
“The judiciary of the United States is the subtle corps of sappers and miners constantly working under ground to undermine the foundations of our confederated republic. They are construing our constitution from a co-ordination of a general and special government to a general and supreme one alone.”
Thomas Jefferson, 1820, following McCulloch vs. Maryland

Now the censorship of Huck Finn makes sense: this publisher's bio shows he was in bed (figuratively, but who knows, maybe literally) with Southern Poverty Law Center. Thanx to Carol & Jim for this.

Jim:
Read this bio written by the man who is publishing the new sanitized version of Huck Finn. Clearly he has no agenda and is just doing it to preserve the genius of Twain for coming generations...Ha!

The 90-Second Autobiography of Horace Randall Williams
I was born (1951) and mostly raised in Chambers County, Alabama, a place which also pro-
duced Joe Louis, one of our country’s greatest black athletes, and Cotton Tom Heflin, one of our
greatest racist demagogues.You figure it.
My people, on both sides of the family, were mostly dirt farmers and cotton mill workers.They
married young and had big families; I have fifty first cousins.
In due time, I graduated from LaFayette High School and enrolled (1970) in Samford Univer-
sity, a small, conservative, Baptist institution in Birmingham, Alabama.
I married.Young. So was she. It was the thing to do.
I intended to become a lawyer but liked English and then history and then journalism and be-
came editor of the school newspaper. A conflict with the school president over the definition of news
cost me my scholarship in my senior year and I never graduated.
I became a professional journalist and worked as a reporter and editor and publisher for daily
and weekly newspapers. I also freelanced; I do not recommend it as a career.
I had been raised as a racist and a religious fundamentalist but for reasons I cannot fully articu-
late I had abandoned both of these philosophies. I had become — yes — a liberal.
I went to work (1976) for a liberal organization, the Southern Poverty Law Center. I produced
the Center’s publications and investigated cases. I was almost a lawyer after all.
I had my mid-life crisis early. I divorced. I took a leave of absence from my job. I extended it. I
moved to North Carolina to work with the Institute for Southern Studies.
I moved to Georgia to help start a newspaper.The newspaper went bust. I freelanced some
more. I still don’t recommend it.
The Southern Poverty Law Center said my leave of absence had lasted long enough. I went back
and organized the Klanwatch Project. I watched and wrote about racists. I was good at it. I under-
stood them.
I could only watch racists for so long.They eventually depressed me. It would have happened to
anybody. I quit my job (1986).
I went into business for myself. I wrote and edited and designed newsletters, magazines, news-
papers, and books. I began a non-fiction book about contemporary racists. I also began a book of
fiction about an Alabama governor. A short governor. Sometimes I still have trouble separating the
two books.
Some years ago I published a book for another writer. One book led to two.Then four.Then ten.
Now I am a book publisher. Sometimes I turn ink into magic. Other times I just murder trees.
Four hundred books later, the manuscripts keep coming. Everyone I ever met wants me to pub-
lish his book. Oprah will love it, she says.
I like my job. Deep down, I am still looking for the heart of Dixie.The search will take time.
Meanwhile I can work any seven days of the week I choose. I intend to keep doing this till the money
runs out. I tell my two sons, one day this will all belong to you.They have always known to laugh
when I say this. So it goes.
I still live in Alabama.

Everything In This House Has One Place And One Place Only!
My mother was a stickler. Once when she was admonishing me about the placement of some item, she showed me very graphically what she meant. She placed an object in front of me and said "Everything In This House Has One Place And One Place Only." Then she stated "This doesn't go here." (Placing an item in a particular position) then moved it ever so slightly and said "It goes here!"

What is The League of the South?
by Dr Michael Hill - LS President
While our overall strategy--short, medium, and long range--is determined by the President, the Board, and our State Chairman, our tactical operational focus is on the local level. We intend to form active chapters in every county in every Southern State, and as many chapters as possible in non-Southern States. We also encourage individuals and families to personally secede from the corrupt and corrupting influence of post-Christian culture in America. We call this "abjuring the realm," and it's a real and dramatic first step all of us can take by simply withdrawing our support of and allegiance to a regime that has imperiled our future.
While we seek to use shame and contempt to de-legitimate the institutions controlled by the Empire, we must not stop there. We must create our own parallel institutions to which our people can attach their loyalties. A good example of this is the move out of the "public" schools and into home schooling or the establishment of our own private academies. Also, the League sponsors weekend Hedge Schools and week-long summer institutes to educate our people.
At present, the League is more concerned with resurrecting our cultural base than with entering into the political arena. Once our Southern culture is re-established, then the political issues will begin to take care of themselves. Good leaders flow naturally out of a healthy culture; however, power-hungry, self-seeking politicians are all we can expect from the debased cultural climate we have today.
The League of the South seeks leaders who have the hearts of servants. The Bible tells us clearly that no man can lead until he is willing to serve his fellowmen. When you join our organization, we expect you to begin immediately serving our cause and our people. We will show you how.
Our revised website, www.dixienet.org, is a cutting-edge, interactive site filled with a wealth of information. We are presently working on an operations manual for new members and local officers. New members are provided a list of State Chairmen for our organized States. We strongly advise our new recruits to contact their State or local officers, offer your talents, and make plans to attend your local and State chapter meetings. There you will be shown how to put the League's strategy into effect by means of our tactical operational plan. You also will meet our leaders, get to know other members, and become part of a real community dedicated to a noble cause. If you live in a State or locality that does not have an organized chapter, this website has a document (listed as "How to Form A County Chapter" under our Introduction on the Main Menu) that shows you how to form and run a local chapter.
All League members receive the Southern Patriot newsletter every other month. Read it closely to keep abreast of League activities and projects.
By joining The League of the South you have placed yourself among a group of men and women who are not content to sit by and allow their land, liberty, and culture be destroyed by an alien regime and ideology. You have joined an active organization that knows where it wants to go and how to go about getting there. The League is no place for the lazy or the faint-hearted. We would love to welcome you to our growing band of Brothers and Sisters. Please join us today.
For Southern independence,
Michael Hill

Repealing The Job-Killing Health Care Law Act, H.R. 2
Repeal ObamaCare!
This is the bill we've been waiting for. The "Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act," H.R. 2, repeals the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act," Public Law 111-148, and the "Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010," Public Law 111-152, known collectively as ObamaCare. That's it. No replacement, period. It just repeals the entire ObamaCare law.The House plans to vote on H.R. 2 on January 12.
To get an idea of the mammoth regulatory monstrosity ObamaCare would become, click on the "ObamaCare Org Chart" on the left and see how many new federal agencies would be created to regulate healthcare.
A Rasmussen poll on December 26, 2010 shows that 60% of likely voters favor repeal of ObamaCare. And, for the first time, the same poll showed that a majority of voters expects ObamaCare will be repealed.
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), who led the fight to repeal ObamaCare in the last Congress, is even optimistic enough to believe that the Senate will vote to repeal ObamaCare along with the House. If both houses do pass H.R. 2, then there'll be a showdown with President Obama and his veto power. King says that once the President would veto a repeal bill, then the Republicans would begin their strategy of systematically defunding the implementation of ObamaCare in all relevant appropriations bills.
Of course, the Republicans can also begin their defunding strategy if the Senate fails to pass H.R. 2.
We have to keep the pressure on Congress to stop ObamaCare as soon as possible for the sake of everyone's freedom and health.
Tell your Representative and Senators to support H.R. 2 to repeal ObamaCare!
Thanks.
Your friends at The John Birch Society
