I have been called many childish names, from neo-nazi, racist, spammer, troll, and that I want to reinstate slavery. All of these are incorrect and immature. For some reason many of the folks against me in this debate, over The War For Southern Independence, like to spread lies and fling mud either when their case gets tough to defend, because it's wrong, or they simply act that way all the time. I try to always maintain a level of decency and civility to my comments and remarks and I would hope others would return the favor. This is almost always not so. For some reason most on the other side can not post something where they are not shouting such immature language. It really shows their character. But I have seen some of this language on the Pro-South side as well, I urge it to be stopped. We are gentlemen and must show that we are above such idiotic attacks.

My views on The War For Southern Independence have been shaped to the way they are after reading the truth and living in the South my entire life. What I say is the truth, taken from well documented books, websites, magazines, documentaries etc. If you wish to leave a comment on my account page, a personal message, or perhaps comment on one of my videos or clips where I've commented, please feel free to. I enjoy a good discussion, but I will not respond if my character is attacked by immature responses.

Just remember, history is written by the victor.

I am a proud to be of American Indian descent, 1/4 Chippewa, a branch off the Ojibwe Nation. I am a member of the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Reservation located in Odanah, Wisconsin.

My politics can be best described as wanting to strictly follow the Constitution, in areas that are a little fuzzy in the Constitution I am mostly conservative. However, if I feel someone will do a good job, despite not being a strict Constitutionalist or a conservative, I will vote for them. I am also an avid conservationist.

Quotes:

"[T]he contest is really for empire on the side of the North, and for independence on that of the South, and in this respect we recognize an exact analogy between the North and the Government of George III, and the South and the Thirteen Revolted Provinces. These opinions...are the general opinions of the English nation." -London Times, November 7, 1861

"As for the South, it is enough to say that perhaps eighty per cent of her armies were neither slave-holders, nor had the remotest interest in the institution. No other proof, however, is needed than the undeniable fact that at any period of the war from its beginning to near its close the South could have saved slavery by simply laying down its arms and returning to the Union." -Mjr Gen John B Gordon, from his book, Causes of the Civil War

"They (the South) know that it is their import trade that draws from the peoples pockets sixty or seventy millions of dollars per annum, in the shape of duties, to be expended mainly in the North, and in the protection and encouragement of Northern interest. These are the reasons why these people do not wish the South to secede from the union." -New Orleans Daily Crescent 1861

"The cause of the South was the cause of constitutional government, the cause of government regulated by law, and the cause of honesty and fidelity in public servants. No nobler cause did man ever fight for!" -Rep Benjamin Franklin Grady Duplin Co NC 1899

"I love the Union and the Constitution, but I would rather leave the Union with the Constitution than remain in the Union without it." -CS Pres Jefferson Davis

"The consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded it." -Robert E Lee

"The Union government liberates the enemy's slaves as it would the enemy's cattle, simply to weaken them in the conflict. The principle is not that a human being cannot justly own another, but that he cannot own him unless he is loyal to the United States." -London Spectator in reference to the Emancipation Proclamation

"The sole object of this war is to restore the union. Should I become convinced it has any other object, or that the Government designs using its soldiers to execute the wishes of the Abolitionists, I pledge you my honor as a man and a soldier I would resign my commission and carry my sword to the other side." -Gen US Grant

"Had the cotton gin of Massachusetts inventor Eli Whitney not come on the scene in the late 1700's, African slavery in this country was most likely doomed. The antislavery and emancipation feeling in the South was ascendant, but thwarted by profitable slave-trading and hungry cotton mills in New England which gave rise to more plantations in the South, and the perpetuation of slavery. And after years of treating the American South as an agricultural colony, New England set out in 1861 to strip it of political power." -Bernhard Thuersam

What's there to say? I'm living the 'American Dream:' a wonderful family, four loving sons; a nice house; a great career; a dog (Jack Russell Terrier named Stonewall); I couldn't ask for a better life.

"His noble presence and gentle, kindly manner were sustained by religious faith and an exalted character." -Winston Churchill on the character of Robert E. Lee

"The real issue involved in the relations between the North and the South of the American States, is the great principle of self-government.

"I am a little uneasy about the abolishment of slavery in this District [of Columbia]." - Lincoln To Horace Greeley
