Heros von Borcke, a Prussian cavalry officer, volunteered to fight for the Confederacy during the American Civil War, serving in Virginia. After the war, he returned to his homeland, even participated in the Austrian Prussian war, Unfortunately, his grave in Giesenbrügge, Poland, did not escape the ravages of World War II—his headstone was destroyed by the advancing Red Army as they swept Poland.

The Louisiana White League published a poem out of their newspaper, the Opelousas Courier, providing us with access to the politics and culture of the League. In its July 4, 1874 edition, the newspaper published a poem entitled, appropriately considering the day, The Spirit of ’76. The poem would foresee a day when Whites took back control over reconstruction.

Independence is better than Submission. Anything Trump is promising can be done and done better in a Southern Confederacy. The Southerner has 0 reason to want to remain in a country that put Biden in power.

The Rebel Yell, as Performed by the Liberty Rifles The rebel yell is a call of somewhat unknown origin, with many placing its roots in Celtic war cries and Native American whoops. The earliest and most famous usage in the Civil War was during the First Battle of Manassas, called Bull Run by the Federals. During the storming of the Henry Hill House by General Jackson, General McDowell ordered his men to charge after retreating Federal soldiers, and to "yell like Furies" during. What ensued would have sounded something like this.

The famous quote from North Carolina's Governor Ellis.

A Patriot who fought to defend North Carolina from an illegal and immoral invasion: Lt. John Baptist Smith born Caswell Count
A Patriot who fought to defend North Carolina from an illegal and immoral invasion: Lt. John Baptist Smith born Caswell County N.C 1843. Enlisted in the Milton Blues in 1861 at 17. In 1862 he transferred to the Signal Corps and him and his men were the last to leave Petersburg crossing the last bridge as it burned. They served as rear guard for General Lee's Army. #lestweforget

Before providing Longstreet's answer, it's important to caveat what he said. Many consider Lee's greatest victory--and hence his best battle--to be at Chancellorsville in May 1863, and for good reason. Though Longstreet was not present there, so he gave a contrary (and I think, correct) answer: Second Manassas. Here is what Longstreet had to say in full about that battle and why he considered it Lee's best, partly because of his own performance there. "Well, perhaps the second battle of Manassas was, all things considered, the best tactical battle Gen. Lee ever fought. The grand strategy of the campaign also was fine, and seems to have completely deceived Gen. Pope. Indeed, Pope failed to comprehend Gen. Lee's purpose from start to finish, and, on August 30, when I was preparing to push him [Pope] off the Warrenton pike, he still imagined us to be in retreat, and his most unfortunate movements were based on that false assumption. Had Pope comprehended the true situation as early as the afternoon of August 28, as I think he ought, it might have gone hard with Jackson before I arrived. Pope was outgeneraled and outclassed by Lee, and through improper dispositions his fine army was outfought. Still, it will not do to underrate Pope; he was an enterprising soldier, and a fighter. His movements in all the earlier stages of the campaign were excellent for his purpose to temporarily hold the lines first of the Rapidan and then the Rappahannock. In the secondary affair with Banks at Cedar Mountain we had gained quite a success, yet Pope promptly concentrated and forced Jackson back again over the river."

LEE'S BEST BATTLE ACCORDING TO LEE'S OLD WAR HORSE Art by David Wright In 1893, "Washington Post" correspondent Leslie J. Perry had an opportunity to do something that modern historians would kill to have: a sitdown interview with a Civil War soldier. In particular, this interview was with one of the Confederacy's top soldiers, James Longstreet. The conversation varied on many war-related topics. Perry could not hold back from asking some of the same questions we banter around roundtables and symposium tables and online forums, including: "Which do you consider Gen. Lee's best battle?"
