For God, Family and Republic

Well April is at an end, and I think I will wrap up my special features in honor of Confederate History Month.

I did admittedly omit some pivotal Today in History episodes like Fort Sumter, but what would I use next year? Hmmm... Maybe I will post some related content again in April 2007.

Anyway, thanks to my regulard readers for tuning in.

Deo Vindice! God favors our cause!

"A righteous God, for our sins toward Him, has permitted us to be overthrown by our enemies and His."
—R.L. Dabney, chaplain under Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson

"If I ever disown, repudiate, or apologize for the Cause for which Lee fought and Jackson died, let the lightnings of Heaven rend me, and the scorn of all good men and true women be my portion. Sun, Moon, Stars, all fall on me when I cease to love the Confederacy. 'Tis the cause, not the fate of the Cause, that is glorious!"
—Maj. R.E. Wilson, CSA

"Let us cross over the river and rest under the shade of the trees."
—General Thomas Jonathan Jackson, CSA, last words

"Tell Hill he must come up... Strike the tent."
—General Robert Edward Lee, CSA, last words
