EDUCATION
The most valuable resource that a Government can not take from you!
Search for the truth and ignore the lies that have propagated from the revisionists of America's costliest and bloodiest war. Read and understand the truth about the Confederate Soldiers and their heroic deeds. There are plenty of books and manuscripts written by the men, both Confederate and Federal, that explain what the causes were more than the authors today can explain. You must realize, that authors today are out to sell a book and reap the profits from the book along the way. In order to sell the book, a lot of authors enhance the information in the form of what they would have you to believe be true. Such enhancements come with the sacrifice of the truth. Several books have been written about the War for Southern Independence and the people who participated in it. Search for their stories and you will find the truth.

The Confederate Flag
"This banner, the witness and inspiration of many victories, which was proudly borne on every field from Manassas to Appomattox, was conceived on the field of battle-lived on the field of battle-and on the last fatal field ceased to have place or meaning in the world.
But the men who followed it, and the world which watched its proud advance or defiant stand, see in it still the unstained banner of a true and generous people, whose deeds have outlived their country, and whose final defeat but added luster to their grandest victories.
It was not the flag of the Confederacy, but simply the banner-the battle flag-of the Confederate soldier. As such it should not share the condemnation which our 'cause' received, or suffer from its downfall. The whole world can unite in a chorus of praise to the gallantry of the men who followed where this banner led."from a speech by General P.G.T. Beauregard, C.S.A.

The remains of eighty-four bodies were buried in Magnolia Cemetery on May 10, 1871. It was on this occasion that Rev. Dr. J. L. Girardeau delivered his memorable address-
"Here let men who never surrendered except to death, find a fitting resting place - in a spot overlooking the waters which were never parted by a hostile keel so long as an artilleryman remained with his portfire behind the guns which guarded them. And yonder battered and ragged fortress which though often assaulted was never carried by storm. Here let them sleep with those who never looked upon a conqueror's flag floating over the citadels of a Sovereign State, but closed their eyes upon a still free and defiant commonwealth. Shoulder to shoulder they stood: now let them lie side by side. Confederates in life, Confederates let them be in death.
