Links

Causes of the Civil War (from a Southern Point of View) is a link to some contemporary essays that (as the name suggests) present the justification for the War (or for secession) from the Southron perspective. The Confederate Cause is a website that could use some sprucing up, from a graphical/organizational point of view, but the information contained there provides a fairly accessible and concise analysis of the Southron perspective on the Late Unpleasantness. Mr. Scroggin's Quotes page is a good start.

Washington and Lee University's collection of Robert E. Lee's letters and correspondence. Of particular interest is the Acton-Lee correspondence, when General Lee reflects candidly on the causes of the War and the intentions of the South.

The Southern Avenger is a conservative commentator at The Charleston City Paper. He has gained some notoriety and a large following with a series of well-written and thoughtful videos, debunking and addressing many of the negative stereotypes and prejudices that exist today vis-a-vis the South and Southroners. His video on the Confederate Flag is particularly worth watching.

The Descendants of Point Lookout POW Organization has an amazing set of articles related to atrocities committed by Federal troops against Southroners; especially against women and children, slaves, and Confederate prisoners of war. They use terms like ethnic cleansing, extermination, and geonocide to describe these actions. One might think this is a little over the top - until one reads some of the articles! Be forewarned, it's not for the faint of heart.

Camp 1599 - Maj. Gen. James Patton Anderson has reprinted an interesting newsletter entitled Confederate Catechism (L. G.Tyler) that addresses pertinent questions pertaining to the War.

Camp 1372 - Fighting Joe Wheeler has a brief editorial defending the Southern Cross: Our Flag by Mike Scruggs.

A website by black Confederates - about black Confederates.

Here are some links to Slave Narratives. This are largely the product of a fascinating, WPA project in the 1930s, intended to capture the recollections of still-living slaves. Many readers and listeners will be surprised by many of these narratives, which do not comply to today's widely-held caricatures of white-black relations in the Antebellum South.

A website devoted to slavery in the North.

A resource for information, including genealogical information, on Florida's Civil War history.

Here's a picture of 3rd Sgt. William J. Martin. Don't know anything about him, other than the fact that he's the toughest-looking Reb I think I've ever laid eyes on!
