Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson - LEST WE EVER FORGET !!!
Verily, both Lee and Jackson would be grieved greatly at the country’s current state of affairs, abuses by the federal government upon the states, and now, the war on history, itself. A hundred and fifty years have passed, yet Southerners and much of the rest of America are still fighting the over-reach of the federal government. Black Americans are still struggling against a system that in many ways is set up for failure. The Southern plantation system has been replaced by Washington, D.C. leaving many citizens searching for answers. There is justification in honoring these American heroes with a national day of remembrance as they do in Lexington, Virginia.

Hundreds Celebrate Lee-Jackson Day in Lexington
by Whitney Delbridge
Lexington, VA- Hundreds from all over the country flocked to Lexington today to celebrate Lee-Jackson Day.
The state holiday, created in 1889, celebrates the birthdays of Robert E. Lee and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. The holiday was actually Friday, but Saturday folks came together to hold a ceremony at Jackson's grave, watched a parade, and finished with a service at Lexington Presbyterian Church. Many say they are proud to honor Lee and Jackson for the men of character they were, and that's why they gather each year to remember them. [...]

Many thanks to Craig Maus ...
On this past 19th Day of January, the Birth Date of General Robert E. Lee, the Confederate Society’s webmaster
and Board Member, Mr. Kevin Carroll, has added to it MANY articles honouring OUR General and Christian Brother.
Equally, there are many fine articles also appearing, having been sent us by the Folks and Noted Authors.
We are Certain that the Historical Elements in which we continually strive to include, ALL of whom have a direct bearing describing a Republic that once was, as opposed to a National Government that now is, is unlike any other you will see.
If the American Republic is to be saved, it MUST re-visit its Historical Past to understand where, how and why it ALL went wrong !
The 10th Amendment of the Original U.S. Constitution REMAINS a RIGHT unto which the States were clearly entitled to- Secession- should the existing Federal Government be over-run and made into a National Government usurping those Indigenous Rights Guaranteed the States by our Founders.
Might does NOT make Right !
The Confederate Society has been engaged in this Titanic Struggle for over 21 years- picking up from where it was ‘left off’… in 1865.
Several States Remain Seceded and their Government in Absentia.
They, and ANY who wish to Join, MUST SEPARATE !
Respectfully & Confederately,
Craig Maus,
President, The Confederate Society of America

January 19th and 21st - Remembering Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson
Robert Edward Lee (January 19, 1807 – October 12, 1870)
Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson (January 21, 1824 – May 10, 1863)
Dear Patriots (bcc herein w/permission to forward),
I have the privilege of sharing with y’all another fine piece provided us by Mr. Jimmy Ward, Board Member of The Confederate Society of America.
I have nothing to add except- THIS IS THE HISTORY TO WHICH YOU HAVE BEEN DENIED !
Isn’t a shame, NO….. isn’t it Criminal- that They are to remembered via a vehicle called the Inter-Net when Their Persons, like so many others, should be Glorified within the American Classroom?
Just what in God’s name does that TELL Y’ALL ?

Subject: January 19th and 21st - Remembering Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson
Fellow brethren with permission to forward,
On January 19 and 21, many of us will remember the birthdays of Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas Jonathon "Stonewall" Jackson respectively. In honor of their memory, I'll raise atop my flagpole an infantry-sized (4ft. X 4ft.) Army of Northern Virginia Battleflag as tribute to two great sons of the South. Why remember these two men? They were the epitome of leadership by example by which many of us patterned our lives. This includes Presidents and Pastors, along with folks in various walks of life both here and abroad. Their life and career left a legacy of selfless devotion to duty, honor, and people unmatched in the history of western civilization. Their mark was not just military heroism, but also a moral heroism. Their brilliant accomplishments on the battlefield were outshone in victory and defeat by the nobility of their moral wisdom and stainless integrity. Their devotion to God, family, soldiers, and the Southern Cause became legendary.
Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, whose military tactics have been studied worldwide, were American soldiers, educators, Christian gentlemen, husbands and fathers. And even though they are primarily thought of as Confederate Generals, they both would only want to be remembered as humble servants of God. They accepted no credit for victory or defeat, noting it was God's will and all glory given him.
At war's beginning, Lee held a 32-year commission in the United States Army. He resigned that commission after being offered command of the Union Army and chose instead to defend his beloved country of Virginia, of which this Union Army was being rallied to illegally invade the South. This is a great sacrifice made by Lee on which I will challenge upon in a later communication.
Before the War for Southern Independence, Thomas Jackson was an ex-soldier, artillery specialist, and an obscure professor at Virginia Military Institute. He also served as a board member of a local bank. Though he was considered a pillar of the community, he was threatened with prosecution for conducting a Sunday school class for slave children, which was illegal at the time. Jackson risked his place in society by remarking that all should know the teachings of Christ. No threat was ever made good. Again, I will challenge upon this in a later communication.
Jackson received the immortal nickname "Stonewall" after the first Battle of Manassas in July 1861 when he stood fast - pressing his troops forward to close a gap in the line against a Union attack. Upon observing Jackson, General Bee out of Texas reportedly called out to his men, "Rally behind the Virginians! There stands Jackson like a stonewall!" Some report that Bee didn't agree with Jackson's maneuver and actually said, " "Look at Jackson standing there like a damned stone wall!" We'll never know what Bee meant because moments shortly after his rallying cry, he was shot and died the next day. Whatever his actual words, General Bee was credited for giving rise to General Thomas J. Jackson being forever after referred to as "Stonewall Jackson."
Following this victory, "Stonewall" wrote a letter to the Pastor who was carrying on the colored Sunday school class: "In my tent last night, after a fatiguing day's service, I remembered that I failed to send a contribution for our colored Sunday school. Enclosed you will find a check for that object."
"Stonewall" Jackson is considered by military historians as one of the most gifted tactical commanders in US history. He was General Robert E. Lee’s right hand during many battles. Unfortunately, Jackson was accidentally shot by Confederate pickets at the Battle of Chancellorsville on May 2, 1863. General Jackson survived with the loss of his left arm, but died of complications from pneumonia eight days later.
After the passing of "Stonewall", General Robert E. Lee stated, "Jackson has lost his left arm, but I have lost my right."
Sir Winston Churchill once remarked, "Lee was the noblest American who had ever lived and one of the greatest commanders known to the annals of war."
The late Franklin D. Roosevelt, America's 32nd President, spoke at the unveiling of the Robert E. Lee Memorial Statue in Dallas, Texas on June 12th, 1936 and said, "I am very happy to take part in this unveiling of the statue of General Robert E. Lee. http://www.watermelon-kid.com/
All over the United States we recognize him as a great leader of men, as a great general. But, also, all over the United States I believe that we recognize him as something much more important than that. We recognize Robert E. Lee as one of our greatest American Christians and one of our greatest American gentlemen."
On August 9th, 1960, former General and President Dwight D. Eisenhower, in response to an inquiry as to why he had a picture of Robert E. Lee in the Oval Office remarked:
Respecting your August 1 inquiry calling attention to my often expressed admiration for General Robert E. Lee, I would say, first, that we need to understand that at the time of the War Between the States the issue of Secession had remained unresolved for more than 70 years. Men of probity, character, public standing and unquestioned loyalty, both North and South, had disagreed over this issue as a matter of principle from the day our Constitution was adopted.
General Robert E. Lee was, in my estimation, one of the supremely gifted men produced by our Nation. He believed unswervingly in the Constitutional validity of his cause which until 1865 was still an arguable question in America; he was thoughtful yet demanding of his officers and men, forbearing with captured enemies but ingenious, unrelenting and personally courageous in battle, and never disheartened by a reverse or obstacle. Through all his many trials, he remained selfless almost to a fault and unfailing in his belief in God. Taken altogether, he was noble as a leader and as a man, and unsullied as I read the pages of our history.
From deep conviction I simply say this: a nation of men of Lee's caliber would be unconquerable in spirit and soul. Indeed, to the degree that present-day American youth will strive to emulate his rare qualities, including his devotion to this land as revealed in his painstaking efforts to help heal the nation's wounds once the bitter struggle was over, we, in our own time of danger in a divided world, will be strengthened and our love of freedom sustained.
Such are the reasons that I proudly display the picture of this great American on my office wall.
And finally on Aug. 5th, 1975, 110 years after Lee's application, President Gerald Ford signed Joint Resolution 23, restoring the long overdue full rights of citizenship to Robert E. Lee.
At that signing, President Ford said, in part: "General Lee's character has been an example to succeeding generations, making the restoration of his citizenship an event in which every American can take pride."
So I ask each of you to take time and remember these two men. When you attend church services tomorrow, ask your Pastor if the congregation can sing "How Firm a Foundation" in memory of Lee. It was his favorite hymn.
Semper Fi - Semper Southern - Semper Saviour,
JW

Robert E. Lee: American Patriot and Southern Hero
by Calvin E. Johnson Jr.
... January is a historic month of history when students, teachers, parents, Joe and Jane America and the world will hear much praise in memorial tribute to the Civil Rights leader and Baptist Pastor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who was born on the 15th day of January, in the year of our Lord, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia…. But, shouldn’t local, state and national news institutions also give fair and equal treatment and coverage to those who will remember the birthdays of General’s Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee who were also born during the month of January? [...]

Robert E. Lee: Measuring True Greatness
by Mike Scruggs
January 19 marked the 207th birthday of one of the most revered military leaders in American history. In fact, Robert E. Lee remains one of the most studied and respected military commanders in world history, although he was ultimately on the losing side.
The enormous importance that the mainstream media and political leaders today give to the Martin Luther King Holiday has worked to obscure the memory of Lee. Although there are many states that celebrate holidays for both King and Lee, most Southern politicians, following the politically correct fashion of the times, have shied away from honoring Lee. That is a great tragedy, for few men in American history have left such an exemplary record of Christian faith, noble character, and devotion to cause and duty.
Following Lee’s death at his home in Lexington, Virginia, on October 12, 1870, former Confederate President Jefferson Davis gave a moving eulogy honoring Lee at a Memorial meeting in Richmond on November 3. This was probably the largest gathering of Confederate generals and officers since the end of the war. In the course of his speech, he gave this praise of Lee:
“This good citizen, this gallant soldier, this great general, this true patriot, had yet a higher praise than this or these; he was a true Christian.” [...]
