This is one of my favourite pocket-sized books regarding the Confederate history of the American Civil War (1861-1865). I am attempting to reconstruct a similar body of knowledge regarding the Black, Native American, and Chinese contribution to the Confederate Cause – not with a sense of shame – but rather a sense of pride! Such an attitude pulls the rug out from under the feet of the White racists who have subsequently been aloud to hijack the Confederate Cause from the 1920s onwards – following the passing of the last Confederate Veterans (who steadfastly rejected such an association when they were alive). The film entitled “Cold Mountain” (starring Jude Law) depicts the 1864 “Battle of the Crater” and features Native Ameican Indians wearing the grey uniform of the Confederacy – scalping Union soldiers as they kill them.
US anti-intellectualism is like a very stupid version of Christian theology that arbitrarily separates the world in a childish “good” and “evil” – with everything “good” being whatever US foreign policy happens to be – and everything “bad” that which opposes it. Since 1945 to present, the US Military has killed 30 million people around the world (in the name of “peace”) – enforcing its ideology of predatory capitalism. Today, President Trump has usurped the power of the State Governor of LA – enacting a post-Civil War law that cedes all State power over its local military to the Federal President – a move designed to prevent resistance to Federal policies and to stop any threat of secession. In this instance, Trump’s overtly “racist” policies are triggering mass protests and uprisings amongst the general population. When the Confederacy lost the Civil War – the States lost their individual freedom and this has allowed a Neo-Nazi President to enact a racist “Federal” reign of terror upon the American people!
