CSA: Would a Confederate Victory Have Led to a Socialist Revolution? (28.2.2025)

However, the Southern ideas of honour and their so-called aristocratic thinking were overblown and these ideas actually sometimes played to the South’s benefit, as the men in the South followed natural leaders and often times appointed them on their own (via popular vote). All too often, in the North, Officers were often political appointees – desk-bound Officers who hadn’t seen a battlefield in years – or ever. Or men who simply bought their way into a General’s uniform. One of the more stereotypical views of the South was the aforementioned backward, backwoodsman. Think about that for a moment. Yes – a significant portion of the Confederate Army was poor, uneducated, and illiterate. Some left-leaning historians have said  – with some accuracy – that the poor Whites of the South had more in common with the slaves – than they did with the leading families who owned most of the land and the fabulous estates like the fictional “Tara” in Gone With the Wind.

Huey Newton - Revolutionary Suicide

Email: Huey Newton – Notes on “Revolutionary Suicide”! (7.2.2025)

The sheer weight of White exploitation cannot be ignored in any of its guises (slave masters or cult leaders). Similarly, the habit of the White Establishment playing-down the weight of the power it possesses is yet another problem. When at school in 1970s UK, we were taught (even then) about the so-called “Golden Triangle”. We were told that British workmen constructed huge trading ships that sailed the world. Furthermore, British sailors manned these ships and brought great riches to our island nation. More than this, these same ships “visited” Africa and “acquired” slaves which were secured in the hold by chains made in Sheffield (the Sheffield factories employed tens of thousands).

The FBI Enforces the Wiil of Washington on the States!

USAID: More Fox-Hole Than Fox Mulder! (7.2.2025)

Many Black Panther members were attacked, killed, and maimed – with many believing that Huey Newton’s murder in 1989, although committed by a Black man, was orchestrated by the FBI! Of course, this murder came at the end of the Raegan tenure at the White House which saw the collapse of the USSR and the Communist Bloc. Raegan had authorised local Police to drop a military-grade bomb on a domestic house holding Black people engaged in a rent-dispute! For Raegan the murder of Huey Newton may have been viewed as an exercise in tying-up loose-ends – as the ideological complexion of the world appeared to change. Trump’s apparent attack on USAID is an illusion. White power, even White fascist power, remains not only unchallenged, but in a far-stronger position than it has been for decades! Do not be deceived by the man standing behind the curtain!

CSA: Email – Did Louisiana “Natives” [Creoles] Fight for the Confederacy? (6.2.2025)

I know this must be true, because every so often in the biographies of Union soldiers and Officers, I read that the dastardly Confederates had been fielding Armies of “Negroes” and “Indians”, etc. Furthermore, some of the exploits of these non-White Confederates are well-recorded. On the other hand, there are Civil War authors who state that there was never any non-White Confederate soldiers and what has been mistaken as such – were unarmed slaves forced into Confederate uniform. We know that this cannot be true – because Black Veterans of the Confederate Army campaigned to have their names and exploits recorded on official Confederate War Memorials after the war. My real objective is to work my way into this subject and discover primary sources that record “Chinese” people fighting in the Confederacy – as this is my academic subject (Chinese Studies). My enquiry below is essentially whether the “Louisiana Natives” were the same outfit as the “Louisiana Creoles”? Of course, I might be wrong and could be confusing two separate and distinct formations (the former “Black” – the latter “Mixed”) – as the book above seems to be suggesting that the “Cannoniers” were a well-known Unit. Either way, for the progression of research – no stone must be left unturned!

Confederate States of America [1861-1865] – Evolution of Flags! (24.11.2024)

Flags, or “Banners” – have been used for thousands of years – in one form or another, to distinguish one group of humans from another. Each such entity conveys “difference” of intent and identity. Each flag is designed to gather together those who “belong” – and “push-away” those who do not. Like the tribal body-markings of the Celts and Picts, each piece of material containing pictures and coloured sections serve as an identifier of “sameness” and a marker of “difference”. As the “Confederate” States of America (CSA) viewed itself as the “true” and “genuine” conveyor of the authentic 1776 “Revolution” – the flags chosen to represent this reality were similar to – but different from – the “Stars and Stripes” as carried by the “United States” of America (USA). There were many “unofficial” flags flown by the citizens and military of the Confederacy – due to the democratic (free) nature of its society and culture. These popular flags were flown alongside (and parallel to) the “official” flags designed and adopted by the government of the CSA. Indeed, these “local” flags lasted throughout the entire war and influenced all the official designs.
