The War of Northern Aggression Started Today, 150 years ago…

By |

To honor my forefathers who fought on BOTH sides of the WAR of Northern Aggression which started on April 12, 1861:

On this day in 1861:

When President Lincoln planned to send supplies to Fort Sumter, he alerted the state in advance, in an attempt to avoid hostilities. South Carolina, however, feared a trick; the commander of the fort, Robert Anderson, was asked to surrender immediately. Anderson offered to surrender, but only after he had exhausted his supplies. His offer was rejected, and on April 12, the Civil War began with shots fired on the fort. Fort Sumter eventually was surrendered to South Carolina.

This war cost over 620,000 lives, it was bloody, it was gruesome, it was over states rights. Regardless of the “Slavery” aspect, the war was over the right of Washington to dictate to the states how to govern their people.

I’m a rebel through and through.

In Remembrance of those brave men who faced the wall of lead balls with courage and conviction of their cause. One day the South shall rise again, may it be soon.

    “I recited this (Good Old Rebel) in front of the UDC at the Marshall Baptist Church as a child……back in the Dark Ages when people still performed such outdated endeavors. I still know it by heart.
    Marshall, Virginia was called Salem during the War and is where Mosby disbanded, and where I poisoned the bush that had grown up in front of his monument at the Marshall National Bank.”

  4. Not until you linked it Brock. But it doesn’t surprise me. I see some strange shit come through on my sitemeter all the time. I’ve got plenty of hits from DC, the sgt at arms of the house is a fan… I have FBI hits, Pentagon hits, I got a bunch of hits from Sacramento… I am not scared, I got nothing to hide. I am not paid by anyone I am exercising my freedom of speech and if they come to ask my opinion I’ll be happy to answer. IF they come and don’t knock or act respectful they’ll get buckshot just like anyone else… Screw em and feed em fish heads.

  6. Sooo, to ask the stupid question, what about Montana? It wasn’t even a state back then, right? So yankee or no yankee? Just curious. I’m just a poor spudnigger.

    1. Well, most western states were still being settled. Montana was mostly a haven for deserters and those that didn’t want to fight the war. There was some interest in Montana by the South though, they didn’t want Montana’s gold to be used by Lincoln’s aggressors…Your town “Varina,” is named after the wife of Confederate President Jefferson Davis.

      You may speak bad about damn yankees too… LOL
