Confederate Civil War hero Colonel W.M. Shy!

CSA: The Body of a Confederate Colonel was Discovered in 1977! (18.11.2025)

The Civil War was now in its waning months. The North’s superior industrial strength and never ending supply of manpower had taken their toll over the downtrodden Confederacy. Everything was going downhill for the Rebels. After the fall of Vicksburg the Union had concentrated practically all its force against the “other Rebel army,” the Army of Tennessee. This army was the last hope for the South. It was led by General John Bell Hood who at this time was a physically beaten and emotionally unstable man. He had lost the use of one arm at Gettysburg and lost a leg at the Battle of Chickamauga. He had to be literally strapped to his horse to travel. Hood’s condition well depicted the general condition of the Army of Tennessee at this stage of the war.

CSA: When Confederate General James Thadeus Holtzclaw Complimented a “Black “ Union Regiment! (10.11.2025)

10/11/2025 Adrian (釋大道)

General Holzclaw Stated, “Five separate colour-bearers, one after the other, seized the fallen flag and attempted to plant it over our works. Each one was shot-down. Urged on by their White Officers – these Black soldiers repeatedly surged against the breastworks. They came only to die!” Indeed, so impressed by the bravery of these Black soldiers was General Holzclaw, that he cited their bravery in his official “Battle Report”. This would be read by the likes of Robert E Lee and Jefferson Davis – so such a report contained much significance. Although the Union would win this battle overall – it did not prevail on this small part of the Nashville battlefield. Of course, such stubborn Confederate action only delayed the inevitable defeat – but it did give the Black Regiments (there others that fought during this battle and even around this area) a chance to show the world what they were capable of doing. The Irish-British (Confederate) General Patrick Clayburne 9who had died at the Battle of Franklin) had suggested to Jefferson Davis that the slaves of the South should be “freed” and co-opted into the Confederate Army – but his idea fell on deaf-ears.

Rutland: Teddy’s Cottage – Market Overton! (27.10.2025)

The above is extracted from the linked (historical) articled presented at the top of this article. I believe this information refers to the row of cottages – one of which – we are currently staying within for five-days. This is our current Research Headquarters for this visit (25.10.2025-30.10.2025) – where we will be travelling to and from Duddington (and the surrounding areas). In the information pack provided in the property – it states the house dates from the 17th century (1600s). It possesses two floor, two bedrooms, a downstairs living-room, dining-room, kitchen, and foyer. Much of the downstairs flooring is flagstone – with the floor levels from one room to the next being uneven (on different levels). Apparently, this has something to do with the age of the building.

Major General Patrick R. Cleburne leading his men against Federal breastworks, Battle of Franklin, 30 November 1864!

The Confederate Army had deployed in an almost Parade Ground formation… As far as the eye could see, the ranks of butternut and grey extended across the gently undulating farm-land. The men were gaunt, many looked like they had been starved – wrote a soldier – and they stood in tattered ranks with their bayonets already fixed on their imported Enfields, Austrians, and captured Springfield rifle-muskets. Their uniforms were threadbare and worn, with many wearing captured Federal clothing. Some had no coats or shoes, and in their haversack, they carried mostly sugarcane and hickory nuts. Nearly all were ragged and dirty. They looked more like a band of robbers than soldiers thought one Federal Private – who saw some captured prisoners. Another Union soldier noted that the Rebels ‘rob our dead because they have nothing to wear – especially for our shoes and coats. They still retained their droopy-felt hats – which gives them a hasty look.’ They are all that the Confederacy could muster – what was left of the hardened spirit of the middle-South. Yet their ragged appearance belied their ultimate worth.

UK: DNA-Tests Prove British Descendants in Kenya! (3.10.2025)

Somehow the post-1945 UK governments have ditched and demonised Socialism – and managed to breed a whole new generation of young people drawn toward fascism. Yes – the spread of the British Army involved mass-murder on the one-hand – and mass-rape on the other, with the occasional consenting relationship thrown into the mix. In Hong Kong, for instance, the British Authorities outlawed “race-mixing” on the grounds that (according to them) neither community (the “White” British or the “Chinese”) would accept the off-spring of such interactions. Furthermore, the guidebook continued, the children of such couplings will forever be “confused” as to which race they belong. So there you have it. Confusion and alienation. In fact, young British soldiers routinely fell in love with local Chinese women – and many mixed-race babies were the result. The soldiers would then leave – and never see their lovers or children again. These children were brought-up as Chinese by the Chinese – and that was that. I suspect this model of British command and control was repeated all over the empire – as we can see here in Kenya – although this ruling is only the tip of the iceberg. As to whether there is any relations in this case to how slaves were treated – I cannot say. If ALL the descendants of British colonisers were brought to the UK – the current migrant crisis would pail in significance!

UK: Beware of “Fansided Daily” – Boycott this Israeli-Owned Business! (4.8.2025)

Well, today, I received a news update in my inbox about Leicester City playing Italian team Fiorentina (which Leicester won 2:0) through an organisation called “Fan Sided” – which featured the Leicester game (remember, Leicester is a Muslim area which supports Palestine) – and after reading the article I signed-up for further Leicester City news. It was when I received the “Confirmation” email that I saw with horror that “Fan Sided” has the following address as its Headquarters:
