The Real Significance of the 'Civil War'

The best Southern thinkers, though of course they could not have known just how strongly vindicated they would be after the atrocities of the twentieth century, understood this principle. Consider the lament of Alexander Stephens, Vice President of the Confederate States of America:

If centralism is ultimately to prevail; if our entire system of free Institutions as established by our common ancestors is to be subverted, and an Empire is to be established in their stead; if that is to be the last scene of the great tragic drama now being enacted: then, be assured, that we of the South will be acquitted, not only in our own consciences, but in the judgment of mankind, of all responsibility for so terrible a catastrophe, and from all guilt of so great a crime against humanity.

Professor Thomas E. Woods, Jr.

This is the Henry Jackson Pribble grave marker that our family put up in the Pribble-Jackson Cemetary in Cisco, Western Virginia (West Virginia, for you yankees), this past August, 2004. Henry's mother, Elizabeth P. Jackson was a 1st cousin of Stonewall Jackson. Much thanks to my cousins Charles Marshall and John Jackson for all their help. Henry is my Great Uncle x 3. Elizabeth is my Great Grandmother x 3.
