@ryanswalters73 You'd look good with a beard, but that's a bit much 🤣

I just learned that my 12th great grandfather was John Knox, leader of the Scottish Reformation. I never knew that. Perhaps I should grow a beard like that now!

@Maynardgcrabbs @ryanswalters73 That's one tiny part of an entire speech! Besides, Lincoln himself said the same thing! The vast majority of white men of that time believed the black race to be inferior to the white. What you've said truly has no bearing on what President Davis said or did, for that matter. 🤷

@ryanswalters73 Did VP Stephen’s say we will abolish slavery and emancipate all slaves in his peace meetings with the Federal Government? NO Stephens was a defender of slavery, declaring that the Confederacy’s "corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man

Jefferson Davis - First, Last, and only President of the Confederate States of America. “We are not fighting for slavery. We are fighting for Independence, and that, or extermination, we will have.” - 1864

🔥The Farm Bill that includes my 🥩 PRIME Act pilot just passed the House! This is a game changer for farmers — and provides access to locally raised beef, pork, and lamb for consumers! We also stripped the immunity/state labeling ban for pesticides from the Farm Bill. MAHA!

This is the conversation we need to have. Excellence without accountability is not progress. (Read my latest article here:👇) washingtonexaminer.com/in_focus/45525…

@WanjiruNjoya This is heinous

White people went to jail for 19 years after an angry shouting match with some black folks. It was treated as "terrorism" because the white folks were armed - even though they did not shoot. They jail white people for offending blacks but won't jail blacks for actual murder.

@ryanswalters73 @land10k_gophers 🎯

@land10k_gophers Stop insulting my courageous ancestors who were fighting for American values against foreign hordes like you! Goodbye!

RIP Ted Turner, who brought us Gettysburg, portrayed a Confederate colonel killed during Pickett’s Charge, and played the film every Fourth of July weekend on his network! Back when we used to be a proper country!

@Jeff_Davis1808 I despise it when folks want to pretend that the "noble Yankees" had to push the idea of voting rights for blacks, etc on us. For instance, PGT Beauregard was active in the Reform Party, which supported civil rights, including the right to vote for black men.

Oh, please. Before the War, Republicans couldn’t stop calling themselves the “white man’s party,” the champions of free white labor keeping the territories off-limits to Blacks. Not one word about Black voting rights ever escaped their lips until 1865, when some party hack did the math and realized the 13th Amendment turned every former slave into a full person for census purposes. Suddenly the beaten South was poised to storm back into Congress with more seats and muscle than when it stormed out—unless Republicans rigged the game. It was never about justice; it was cold political arithmetic dressed up in moral drag. They rammed through the 14th and 15th Amendments not out of brotherly love, but because the numbers screamed that Black votes in the South would keep their party in the catbird seat while Northern whites stayed comfortably segregated. And don’t kid yourself—they first tried to shove Black suffrage down only the South’s throat while keeping it illegal or dead-letter in the North, where it was poison at the ballot box with their own white voters. How many of those vaunted first 23 Black congressmen hailed from the South? Every single one. All of them. It was a Reconstruction power play in Dixie, not some heartfelt Northern conversion to colorblind conservatism. Spare us the sanitized fairy tale.

@Sisyphus_smokes @WanjiruNjoya How conciliatory of you

@WanjiruNjoya They should’ve wielded a lot more.

Republicans say I'm lying about the violence of the Reconstruction Era. They are not prepared to believe that their Sainted Party was ever involved in promoting violence against white Southerners.

@ColJosephHardin Okra is one of life's greatest pleasures

I’m an okra American.

@Lorelei1861 Some states are missing

It took 161 years but we will get it done now. The South doing it again.

Confederate soldiers were anything but cowards you imbecile, and I say that as someone whose ancestors fought for the Union

@WanjiruNjoya Lovely photo

I had the honor of meeting Walter Donald Kennedy and James Ronald Kennedy, great historians of the South. You should study their books, if you haven't already.

In part, the Cherokee Declaration of Causes (for joining the CSA) “Foreign mercenaries and the scum of cities and the inmates of prisons were enlisted and organized into regiments and brigades and sent into Southern States to aid in subjugating a people struggling for freedom, to burn, to plunder, and to commit the basest of outrages on women; while the heels of armed tyranny trod upon the necks of Maryland and Missouri, and men of the highest character and position were incarcerated upon suspicion and without process of law in jails, in forts, and in prison-ships, and even women were imprisoned by the arbitrary order of a President and Cabinet ministers; while the press ceased to be free, the publication of newspapers was suspended and their issues seized and destroyed; the officers and men taken prisoners in battle were allowed to remain in captivity by the refusal of their Government to consent to an exchange of prisoners; as they had left their dead on more than one field of battle that had witnessed their defeat to be buried and their wounded to be cared for by Southern hands.”

Only hate-filled monsters would want to destroy something so beautiful and meaningful to so many. Don't mistake the hate as anti-Confederate. No sir. It is anti-white and anti-American.

The American Kristallnacht The summer of 2020 began with the death of George Floyd and quickly descended into lawless destruction across American cities. What started as protests against police brutality exploded into a coordinated assault on the nation’s historical symbols. Statues were toppled, monuments defaced, and in Richmond, Virginia, the headquarters of the United Daughters of the Confederacy was vandalized, set ablaze, and left with damages in the millions of dollars. Priceless artifacts and manuscripts vanished forever in the flames while fires raged and glass shattered underfoot. This was no spontaneous outpouring; it was a calculated erasure of American heritage, leaving behind scorched earth and silenced memory. The campaign was fueled by a steady stream of faux-historian narratives and conspiracy theories that painted the United Daughters of the Confederacy as shadowy puppet-masters who had supposedly hijacked American history for generations. In reality, many of the UDC’s core positions—that the Civil War was a tragic conflict between brothers, that Southern soldiers fought with honor, and that the conflict’s roots ran far deeper than slavery alone—mirrored what respected Northern historians had written for over a century. Yet these ideas were recast as dangerous myths invented by a cabal bent on perpetuating division, much as certain age-old tropes once accused another people of secretly controlling the world. The lies spread rapidly, giving moral cover to the mobs and turning preservation itself into an act of defiance. No one was held accountable. Despite the scale of the violence and the deliberate targeting of historic sites, prosecutions were virtually nonexistent. The UDC’s headquarters was assaulted in plain view, yet arrests were few and convictions even fewer. Charges were quietly dropped in progressive jurisdictions where sympathy for the cause outweighed the rule of law. The absence of punishment did not spark a backlash; instead, it signaled permission to continue. The night of broken glass and burning buildings passed without consequence, clearing the path for the next, more methodical phase of the purge. What followed mirrored the pattern of earlier historical episodes: after the initial street violence came the systematic use of law to isolate and penalize the targeted group. In Virginia, Governor Abigail Spanberger and Delegate Dan Helmer spearheaded legislation stripping tax-exempt status from heritage organizations labeled “Confederate,” including the United Daughters of the Confederacy, the Sons of Confederate Veterans, and even the J.E.B. Stuart Birthplace Preservation Trust. These are not relics of a foreign power; they are quintessentially American organizations dedicated to preserving the history of their own people—organizations that existed long before and after the brief Confederate States of America. Today, simply maintaining a historic site or expressing an opinion on that chapter of the past can cost an organization its tax benefits and institutional protections. The American Kristallnacht was never the end; it was only the beginning of a legalized erasure that continues to this day. -Staff of Jefferson Davis

Pastor Steve Maile, Watford, Herts, handcuffed and taken away by a trio of police officers yesterday. His crime? Preaching The Gospel! Only Christians are treat like this. An absolute disgrace!

@Lorelei1861 Morons everywhere. So tired of it.

Foul-mouthed Italian woman in Mississippi married to a Lebanese man thinks Kentucky, Missouri and Oklahoma aren’t in the South. Don’t tell her about Arkansas and Maryland!

@realcountry1953 Roy

Who’s the better picker? Jerry Reed or Roy Clark?

@Lorelei1861 Kentucky IS SOUTHERN. Anyone who has ever spent time here KNOWS this. Our culture, history, etc is Southern.

Tell that to my 3rd great grandfather of the 1st Kentucky Infantry who fought under J.E.B Stuart at First Manassas.
