To: Attorney General Jeff Sessions
Dear Mr. Attorney General,
This
is in response to your speech on Lincoln’s birthday. Really, Mr.
Sessions? Really? Do you actually believe the lies you told? That the
War was “all about slavery”, as the Marxists have been proclaiming for
150 years? You have proven yourself a traitor to the Southern people,
their history, and their culture, and to be a “useful idiot” in support
of those who are perpetrating cultural genocide on all things Southern
and Confederate. With your words you have slapped every dead Confederate
right in the face, as well as the tens of thousands of Southern
civilians murdered by Lincoln’s beasts of war.
If the
War was “all about slavery”, as you and millions of historically
ignorant people proclaim, why did Lincoln not free the more than 420,000
slaves who were still in the union AFTER the Southern states seceded
(1860 census)? So, the North was waging a war to “free the slaves”, but
that excluded theirs? Only those bad, mean old Southerners had to free
their slaves. The “righteous” and “moral” Northerners were allowed to
keep theirs. Right? What about the Corwin Amendment, which Lincoln
supported, which would have FOREVER protected slavery in the
Constitution if the seceded states would only return to the union and
ratify it? Why did the South refuse this offer? I mean, if it was “all
about slavery”, you would think the South would have jumped all over
this. They refused the offer because the War was NOT about slavery, but
the continued collection of excessive and unconstitutional tariffs from
the South for the benefit of the North, (the South was paying about 85%
of the federal revenues but only had 1/3 of the population), subjugation
of the South, looting the natural resources of the South, and to
establish a strong centralized government, just like the one our
Founders did NOT want, but the very one that is still choking us this
very day.
There is ample proof that the War was not
about slavery. Even Lincoln himself said it was not about slavery. The
Crittenden-Johnson Resolution states that the War was not about slavery.
Only about 3% of Confederate soldiers owned slaves. Tell me, Mr.
Attorney General, what were the other 97% fighting for? So a few rich
people could keep their slaves? Logic, common sense, and historical
proof reveal that the War of Northern Aggression was not fought to free
slaves. It was waged to stamp out the individualism and defiant spirit,
the independent spirit, of a segment of the population who were trying
to hold on to the Constitution and the principles established by our
Founding Fathers.
Slavery was a dying institution. No
other country on the planet fought a war to end slavery, but you would
have us believe, as other Marxists would, that we had to have this war
for that very purpose. Had Lincoln not invaded the South, there would
have been no war. He refused to meet with numerous peace delegations who
wanted to avoid war. Lincoln wanted war. His devils in blue burned
homes and crops, killed and stole animals, murdered numerous civilians,
and raped white and black women all over the South. His great
Emancipation Proclamation freed not one solitary slave. Read it if you
have never done so. The proof lies therein. It was a war measure, as
stated by Lincoln himself, with the intent of causing a slave uprising,
which did not happen, and to wave the false banner of waging a moral
campaign to “free the slaves” so that Europe would see this and not
render aid to the South, which it was considering.
Mr.
Attorney General, your words have fueled the fires of hatred and
cultural genocide against our history, culture, and heritage. You have
hurt the purpose of the SCV (Sons of Confederate Veterans) and other
groups who exist only to preserve the true accounts of our history and
pass these truths on to our posterity. Your words carry much more weight
than mine, or any other average “Joe Citizen”, not just because of your
prominent position, but where you are from. I am truly ashamed that you
are an Alabamian. The traitorous and cowardly blood which flows through
your veins is not worthy to be called Southern. You have dishonored the
many dead who wore the gray; black, white, Jew, Mexican, Indian, and
others who fought for the right of self government. Your words are the
same lies which have been told since Reconstruction in order to
brainwash the youth into believing their ancestors were evil traitors.
What you have done is inexcusable and is pure blasphemy against our
ancestors and the truth.
You have proven yourself to be
a spineless person who will “go along to get along”, which is the trait
of typical politicians. I had to respond to your blasphemy because I
cannot sit idly by while my heritage, history, and ancestors are being
disparaged.
Unreconstructed,
