Trolling Europe for Lincoln's Patriots

From: bernhard1848@gmail.com

By mid-1862 it was reported that voluntary enlistments in Lincoln's armies had all but ceased – once the carnage of Fredericksburg got through Lincoln's media blackout he favored conscription and foreigners to fight his war against Southern independence. This still did little to improve the quality of the Northern soldiery as noted author Ella Lonn (Foreigners in the Union Army and Navy, 1951) wrote that "foreigners who were enticed, kidnapped, or bludgeoned into the army could hardly make good soldiers."

Trolling Europe for Lincoln's Patriots

"We copy from the Savannah Republican A.D. 1863:

"We have before us proof conclusive that our enemy, utterly despairing of their ability to conquer us, at this time, agents and lecturers in almost every country in Europe, who by lying misrepresentations and the meanest duplicity, united with pledges at the enormity of which all Christiandom must shudder.

It is in the form of a poster, or hand-bill, which is now being circulated throughout Great Britain, in aid of such lecturers as Beecher & Co., and a copy of which has just been received from a friend through the blockade.

We present it to the world as a burning witness against a God-forsaken people. They will doubtless denounce it as a forgery, but we are assured upon authority beyond all question that the copy sent us and published is one of   thousands that are floating over the Kingdom of Great Britain, and, what is worse, are winked at by the British Government.

To gallant Irishmen, Germans and others:

The war contractors of New York, Boston and Philadelphia, are in want of a few thousand enterprising young men to join the glorious army of the United States. The profits of the businesses are so large that the country can afford to pay handsomely all who will speedily enter their noble service. Camp life in America is remarkably salubrious and enjoyable, and offers immense attractions to the oppressed populations of Europe.

The troops will have free license while occupying the enemy's country, and the estates and property of the vanquished "rebels" will be divided by a grateful nation among its heroic defenders. For further particulars apply to the Contractors' Lecturers now on the mission to Britain, and to Messrs John Bright and W.E. Forster, Ranters Hall, London. New York, September 1, 1863."

Lincoln's Duplicity at Fort Sumter

From: bernhard1848@gmail.com


The land ceded to the federal agent at Washington for forts, arsenals and yards by individual States were intended for the protection, not destruction, of the States they were located in. If a fort was to be used by that agent for a warlike purpose against a State, it is obvious that State would immediately eject the federal employees. Lincoln in early 1861 sent spies to Charleston to gather intelligence before he commenced war.

Lincoln's Duplicity at Fort Sumter

"There are many matters of interest and importance connected with the firing upon Fort Sumter which are not generally mentioned in our American histories. These are given in some detail in Dr. H.A. White's "Life of Robert E. Lee." Such information is essential to an understanding of the whole subject of the beginnings of the sectional conflict.

". . . It will be an advantage for the South to go off," said H.W. Beecher. After the inauguration of Mr. Lincoln there was a strong current opinion in the North that the Federal troops should be withdrawn from the Southern forts. President Lincoln's "organ," the National Republican, announced that the Cabinet meeting of March 9 had determined to surrender both Sumter and Pickens.

That [Major Robert] Anderson would be withdrawn from Sumter "was the universal opinion in Washington (Rhodes, U.S., vol. iii, p. 332). Welling, of the National Intelligencer, was requested by [William] Seward to communicate the Cabinet's purpose to George W. Summers, member of the Virginia Convention (The Nation, Dec. 4, 1879). March 15 Secretary Seward unofficially notified the Confederate Commissioners, through Justice Campbell of the Supreme Court, that Sumter would be yielded at once to the Southern Confederacy."

". . . March 24 brought Colonel Ward H. Lamon of Washington to Fort Sumter. He obtained permission from Governor Pickens to visit Major Anderson upon the representation that he had come as "confidential agent of the President," to make arrangements for the removal of the garrison. The impression produced upon Major Anderson by Lamon, as well as upon the officers and men of the garrison, was that the command was to be withdrawn." Lamon informed Governor Pickens "that the President professed a desire to evacuate the work." After Lamon's return to Washington he sent a written message to Pickens, that he "hoped to return in a very few days to withdraw the command."

Remember the eunuchs at election time

From: pbls40@netscape.com

Where are the political leaders of the South who still have a pair?  The elected officials of the South are either silent in fear of not being reelected, ignorant of the truth of why the South went to war, or so weak kneed from spending their life kowtowing to the main stream media they have become eunuchs.

Instead of allowing our Confederate monuments degraded, the Confederate battle flag demeaned and demonized, and Abraham Lincoln's war against the South portrayed to our children as anything resembling nobility of purpose  "in freeing the slaves", how about growing a pair and telling the truth about Lincoln.

It would be great if you told history with truth and you should by telling the truth that the War between the North and the South was not a war over the issue of slavery. Lincoln said in his Inaugural Address, "I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so."

Lincoln was a racist and a bigot regarding black people. In a 662-page book by the distinguished African-American author Lerone Bennett, Jr. entitled "Forced into Glory: Abraham Lincoln's White Dream", Bennett provides quote after quote of Lincoln's own words, habitually using the N-word so much that people in Washington thought he was consumed by his racism. Bennett tells of first-hand accounts by some of Lincoln's generals of how they left a meeting with him during a crisis in the war in which the president spent most of his time in the meeting telling off-color "darkie" jokes (Lincoln's language). General James Wadsworth, for example, was "shocked by the racism in the Lincoln White House."

THINK!! Can anyone honestly believe Lincoln would go to war to "free the slaves" when he had this little regard for them?

Government empires always have ideological cornerstones to sustain their existence and justify their actions based on a series of myths about their benevolence, heroism, greatness, or even divinity. The victors write the history, and that doesn't mean it isn't slanted or even lied about to justify the death and destruction the government inflicted to win that war.

Like most crimes, Lincoln's war was persecuted for money!  He forced the South back into the Union because the North did not want to lose the money they had been getting from the tariffs that brought in over 70% of all the total federal revenue collected.

Yes! This war upon the South was recognized for what it was at the time it started, and newspapers spoke of the reasons and events freely.  The Union Democrat newspaper in Manchester, New Hampshire on February 19, 1861 said: "The Southern Confederacy will not employ our ships or buy our goods. What is our shipping without it? Literally nothing... it is very clear that the South gains by this process and we lose. No...we must not let the South go."

Two days before Lincoln's election in November of 1860, the Charleston Mercury said: "The real causes of dissatisfaction in the South with the North, are in the unjust taxation and expenditure of the taxes by the Government of the United States, and in the revolution the North has effected in this government, from a confederated republic, to a national sectional despotism."

The Newark Daily Advertiser, on April 2, 1861, editorialized that Southern free trade "must operate to the serious disadvantage of the North," and should be stopped by military force.

The Boston Transcript, on March 18, 1861, warned: "The mask has been thrown off, and it is apparent that the people of the principal seceding states are now for commercial independence. They dream that the centers of traffic can be changed from Northern to Southern ports. The merchants of New Orleans, Charleston, and Savannah are possessed of the idea that New York, Boston, and Philadelphia may be shorn, in the future, of their mercantile greatness, by a revenue system verging on free trade…The government would be false to its obligations if this state of things were not provided against."

We need to remember the eunuchs at election time.

Never, never, never be ashamed to fly the Confederate Battle Flag!

 I enjoy your newsletter and the many articles posted by our Southern patriots.

I'm an old white guy who has been following the degradation of all things Southern for a long time. I marched with thousands of others in Columbia, SC in 2000 when the movement began to remove the Confederate Battle Flag from the top of the statehouse.

Recent events in Columbia have made me conclude that all the truth and facts in the world will not stop the cultural & historical cleansing.

We need to change our tactics to something that politicians and corporate America understands: PROTESTS & BOYCOTTS!

We could start by organizing a boycott of the next Nascar Race.  They want their core customers to leave their confederate flags at home.  Well, lets all stay home with them. 

At the same time, boycott Walmart by organizing peaceful, lawful protests in every Walmart parking lot in America. This was done at a Cartersville, GA Walmart recently, and it was covered by the local media, and National too if I remember correctly. Imagine if this was happening once a month in thousands of Walmarts across the country.

Encourage all our patriots to wear apparel that has the Confederate battle Flag on it. The public needs to see it more now than ever.

The natural conduit for these tactics is the national and local SCV, and the UDC.  The organizations are in place. They just need leadership.

I would appreciate it if you would pass these suggestions along to your contacts who might have the authority to study and act on them.

Never, never, never be ashamed to fly the Confederate Battle Flag!

References Abraham Lincoln Socialist and Atheist

SHNV Compatriots,

A subscriber to SHNV contacted me after reading my article exposing Abraham Lincoln as a Socialist and Atheist. He asked me to supply sources and references. Posted below is my answer. I should have included a reference to the research done by North Carolina State Supreme Court Judge Felix Alley (1873-1957). Both the Calhoun and Hanks families said it was true that Lincoln was the illegitimate son of John C. Calhoun. Their photos offer further evidence-both tall and lanky and would pass for father and son easily. Thomas Lincoln was shorter and stocky.

Lincoln's law partner William S. Herndon is the source of some of the most private information concerning Lincoln. After Lincoln's death he wrote a book "A Great Life". Only about 12 of the original copies remain. Lincoln supporters bought them up and destroyed them. Herndon wrote a 2nd edition that deleted facts the Lincoln cult did not want people to know.

Lincoln wrote a book espousing Atheism. A friend grabbed it and threw it in the fire saying "you will never get elected to anything if that book gets published".
 
Lincoln also told Herndon numerous times he was illegitimate. He was the son of South Carolinian John C. Calhoun and bar maid Nancy Hanks of Craytonville South Carolina. Calhoun paid hog drover Thomas Lincoln $500 to take her to her uncle's house in Kentucky. Lincoln was born at the plantation of Abraham Enloe on the way to Kentucky. Lincoln's mother Nancy had a hard life with Thomas Lincoln and died early. Abe never forgave him and refused to visit Thomas when he was dying. Between 1900 and 1910 a child support document was found in the Abbeville SC. courthouse signed by Calhoun paying $100 per year child support.
 
Emperor Napoleon of France said "History is an accepted fable" and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill said "History is basically bunk".  Northern Yankee historians who are part of the Lincoln cult that keeps the mythical Lincoln lies alive just know in their heart that the indoctrinated American public just does not need to know the things I have related above to you.
 
Kennedy and Benson recently did a tremendous amount of research which resulted in the book "Red Republicans and Lincoln Marxists". Get a copy and read it. Lincoln's Assistant Secretary of War Charles Anderson Dana was an avowed Socialist who went to Europe before the war and met Karl Marx. 487 of Marx's articles including the Communist manifesto were published in the New York Tribune newspaper before the war. Marx sent about 2000 European Socialists to New Your City in 1849-1850 after the failed Socialist revolution in Europe. And Marx sent thousands of Socialists to America to fight for Lincoln 1861-1865. I have the names of these Socialists and Communists A thru Z who were Yankee officers.
 
Adolph Hitler was an admirer of Lincoln and devoted a chapter of his book "Mein Kampf" to Lincoln's methods used to destroy the Republic established by America's founding fathers and convert America to a Socialist Democracy. The U.S. Communist Party held Lincoln-Lenin parades in New York City in the 1930's. They sent troops to fight for Socialism in the Spanish Civil War of 1937 and called them the Lincoln Brigade.
 
The pastors in Springfield Illinois did not and would not vote for Lincoln--they knew what he was. After the defeat and surrender of the South in 1865 Marx sent a letter of congratulations to Lincoln.
 
Do google searches on your computer. Enter "Abraham Lincoln Socialist" and "Abraham Lincoln Atheist" and read all about it. It is no longer a secret that "Dishonest Abe" was both a Socialist and Atheist.

A Resolution was passed unanimously by Congress July 23, 1861 (AFTER Ft. Sumter):

"The war is waged by the Government of the United States, not in the spirit of conquest or subjugation, nor for the purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or institutions of the states, but to defend and protect the Union."

THIS IS THE NORTH in their own words.

Please share widely.

From her eulogy in the Confederate Veteran is the following:

An active member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy from its organization, she was known as a leader in the work in the Georgia Division and was honored by high office in Chapter and Division, and had been made Life Historian of that Division. For five years she served as Historian General, U.D.C., and made that office one of the most important in the general organization, by which she was later made Honorary President. She was President of the Ladies Memorial Association of Athens, Ga., from 1888 to her death, and had been Historian General, C.S.M.A., since 1921; and she was also an officer of the Stone Mountain Confederate Memorial Association. The University of Georgia, with which her father was long connected, some years ago conferred upon her its honorary degree, an honor proudly received. [page 368-9, Confederate Veteran, Vol. 36 No. 9, September 1928.]

Did our ancestors die in vain?

Mr. Hubbard,

As Speaker of the House I am shocked and disappointed re: the role you have taken in this most recent silent & sneaky removal of our beloved Confederate Flag out of the Old House Chamber a couple of weeks ago, especially when you didn't really need to have  anything to do with this despicable act.

Many years ago that honored flag was presented to the State Legislature by the Alabama Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) as a sacred trust. Are you informed, are you ignorant, or do you even care what it memorializes?  Well, l et me enlighten you. That flag was dedicated to the honor of more than 30,000 courageous Alabama soldiers & sailors who fought, were maimed & many died trying to protect & defend their homes & state from invasion by an out-of-control, centralized Federal Government, under a President & a Congress who could only see this, and the other cotton producing states, as a 'cash cow' for promoting their greedy, Northern interests.  When South Carolina refused to institute & then pay the exorbitant, illegal Morrill Tariff Tax, and it then seceded from the Union in 1861, Lincoln (before sending 75K U.S. Soldiers to invade the South (a totally unconstitutional act) put his head in his hands and cried' "My tariff, my tariff, what will become of my tariff?"

Now 150 years later that same central government with the greedy, socialistic base still reigns in DC. Today it has spread its 'cancer' to all the states, so that even the governor & legislature of our wonderful state of Alabama has been contaminated by it !  How can you as Speaker even begin to rationalize that what you're doing by dumping your traditions, your heritage & the debt you owe to your ancestors who fought in our country's wars (including those who were Confederate), is right? You should be ashamed to be so 'politically correct' that you would sacrifice the truth of your own children's heritage to appease some 'race baiting, South hating' socialists & their corrupt agenda.

In choosing to appease these 'types' you think you're gaining votes. I beg to differ with you. As a life-long resident of this state, educated in its schools and retired from its school system; one who has voted since 1964,  generally as a conservative Republican, I can tell you that you're going to find that you've only hurt yourself because of this.  As I told the person who answered the Governor's office phone, you may find that in the next election all of those Republican votes you & your cronies have taken for granted just might totally disappear.

In this matter if you can't stand up for your heritage against nameless outsiders & special interests from DC, what makes you think the people of Alabama will stand up and vote for you, or any other Republican, in the next election ...or any to come for that matter? You and the Governor may think you've done the state a 'favor' by getting rid of the Confederate flags and symbols on the 'QT', your 'lame, 'PC' excuse' being you didn't want to 'offend' anyone.

Well, sir I have a ' News Flash' for you and our 'lame duck' Governor --   You've underestimated thousands of Alabamians just like me who love & cherish ALL of the state's heritage & the sacrifices of our beloved ancestors who so proudly pioneered this state (mine came in 1817 bf/ statehood), and valiantly defended her with their lives in every war since then whenever she called on them to do so. For us, our ancestors did not die in vain, no matter what war or conflict that they were called to serve in... including the War of Secession, 1861-65.

As far as a whole host of others, as well as myself, feel -  In the annals of Alabama history you will be remembered as the Alabama Speaker who aided & abetted in the eradication of the Southern Culture of the Christian South.

I forgot to add Mike Hubbard's, Speaker of the House, number to call. He took our flag out of the Old House Chamber when he didn't have to get in this fight either!  And that flag was given to the legislature by the UDC in HONOR of more than 30,000 HONORABLE Alabama Confederate soldiers who died trying to save our LIBERTY!!!

Please call him and express your outrage at this cultural genocide he & Bentley have started across the Southland!  He will NOT be remembered for the 27 indictments filed against him...he will be remembered as the Speaker who aided & abetted the eradication of the Christian Southern Culture!!!

Thanks!
