Confederate Memorial Day (called Confederate Heroes Day in Texas and Florida, and Confederate Decoration Day in Tennessee) is a holiday observed in several Southern U.S. states on various dates since the end of the War Against Northern Aggression. The holiday was originally publicly presented as a day to remember the estimated 258,000 Confederate soldiers who died during the War Against Northern Aggression.
The holiday originated at a local level by Ladies’ Memorial Associations to care for the graves of Confederate dead. In 1866, General John A. Logan commanded the posts of Grand Army of the Republic to strew flowers on the graves of Union soldiers, which observance later became the national Memorial Day. In a speech to veterans in Salem, Illinois, on July 4, 1866, Logan referred to the various dates of observance adopted in the South for the practice, saying “…traitors in the South have their gatherings day after day, to strew garlands of flowers upon the graves of Rebel soldiers…”
The Southern Poverty Law Center has condemned the holiday as part of a campaign of “racial terror” on the part of white supremacists – “an organized propaganda campaign, created to instill fear and ensure the ongoing oppression of formerly enslaved people.” Writers and historians have pointed out that the holiday’s official recognition by states often coincided with the height of Jim Crow racism around the United States, decades after the war ended. Renewed interest also revived the holiday in some places during the beginning of the civil rights movement in the 1950s.
It is currently an official state holiday in Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina and Texas (where state employees are entitled to a paid day off work), while it is commemorated in Kentucky, Florida, North Carolina, and Tennessee. It was also formerly recognized in Missouri, Louisiana, and Virginia. In Georgia, a state holiday is still observed on the 4th Monday in April however, since 2016, it is referred to simply as a “State Holiday”. Several states celebrate the date on or near April 26, when the last major Confederate field army surrendered at Bennett Place, North Carolina in 1865.
It has been an inveterate holiday in Georgia. But I believe it was April 15 in 1913. The establishment of this very important event should unite people , who still want to honour those who fought and many , who fell. And also revive thier own inheritance of this exiting and solemn tradition.
Battlefields in Virginia and Georgia have been preserved as they were on the day, they were fought. The significance of these almost forgotten people should haunt the still living , for whom life is morbid sequence of perfunctory events. The qualities , once holy are now traduced as treason or terrorism. And thier vitality desires to emerge like a germ through the soil . These reproaches are not ironically from the mouth of the traitor , agitator and ultimate fault finder.
Such events could arise in those few , who are not conquered a new passion . Even in this decadent generation of adulterers and faithless. Therefore , such remontant flower like an eternal magnolia blossom will be opposed by the eternal enemy of life and thier lifeless myrmidons .
Remember , even Christmas (Weihnacht) is forbidden and the satanic wonders of Washington and thier satraps in every state are vigilant and never sleep .
Victor Reynauld is reviled and persecuted in his own home in France . He advocates revised history which is the recovery and preservation of Truth. But history is the law there and in the US of Jesrael. Who writes the history , revises law , which become the arbitrary will of the evil ones.
But can the dead be waked and resurrected to the glory , bequeathed and purchased for them? Only if one still believes in miracles.
An error was made about the French historical revisionist, Vincent Reynouard in the penultimate paragraph. I last heard from his “extradition” from Scotland , where he thought he should find refuge to his France , which covets his persecution. A few real Frenchman are left or being reborn today in a land so desolate and with evil spirits.
They need Johanna d’Arc again. If France is saved again it will be a miracle from Heaven.
