For the Record !

A while back I made a post stating April 12th was an important day in Confederate history !

Here

Image blurred due to his narcissistic preference ! 

"Yep... April 12 is important, the Day Lee Surrendered "

Yeeeesh ! What a Dunce !

And this Buffoon is a History Teacher ! 

For the record --

Time Line *

April 9, 1865, 7:50–10:00 a.m. - Confederates under John B. Gordon and Fitzhugh Lee attack Charles Smith's Union brigade in a last-ditch effort to escape the encircling Union army. Hard-marching reinforcements from the Army of the James and the Fifth Corps prevent a breakout, and Confederates send out truce flags.

April 9, 1865, 11:50 a.m. - Union general-in-chief Ulysses S. Grant receives a message from Confederate general Robert E. Lee seeking terms of surrender.

April 9, 1865, 1:30–3:00 p.m. - Confederate general Robert E. Lee meets Ulysses S. Grant at the home of Wilmer McLean in the village of Appomattox Court House. The meeting results in the surrender of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia.

April 10, 1865 - Confederate general Robert E. Lee's General Orders No. 9, his farewell address to the Army of Northern Virginia, praises his troops' "unsurpassed courage and fortitude." He also tells them they had been "compelled to yield to overwhelming numbers and resources." Both arguments  become fixtures of the Lost Cause interpretation of the Civil War.

April 10, 1865- Union general-in-chief Ulysses S. Grant departs from Appomattox Court House, where he accepted the surrender of Confederate general Robert E. Lee, for Washington, D.C.

April 11, 1865 - After surrendering the Army of Northern Virginia to Union general-in-chief Ulysses S. Grant two days earlier, Confederate general Robert E. Lee leaves Appomattox Court House to be with his family in Richmond.

April 12, 1865, 5 a.m. - Almost four years to the minute after the first shots were fired on Fort Sumter, Union general Joshua Chamberlain assembles elements of the Fifth Corps along the main street of Appomattox Court House as part of the formal surrender ceremony. The Union men reportedly salute passing Confederates, who salute back

So by April 12th 1865 Lee was in Richmond with his family !

But Haters never let the truth stand in the way of their agenda !

Monumental Victory in Portsmouth

Congratulations to Fred Taylor and the Stonewall Camp #380 ! #winning

"Monumental Victory in Portsmouth"

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Judge William S. Moore, Jr., Chief Judge of the Portsmouth Circuit Court, has dismissed the claims brought by the City of Portsmouth against the Stonewall Camp #380, Sons of Confederate Veterans.

In October of 2016, the City of Portsmouth had sought a declaratory judgment to establish its ownership of Portsmouth's Confederate monument and authority to relocate the monument.  The Stonewall Camp filed a demurrer to the City's Complaint, and challenged these claims in a hearing held on March 5.

Noting that the City's claim sought a "de facto advisory opinion" from the Court, Judge Moore in a May 1 Opinion and Order rejected the City's assertion that it had brought a proper claim before the Court.  Furthermore the Judge noted in his opinion that the City's allegations failed to establish sufficient facts to seek a declaratory judgment.

Stonewall Camp attorney, Fred D. Taylor, Esq., was pleased with the ruling and stated that the Court's decision was a "clear vindication of the law and monument protection."

The Portsmouth Confederate Monument, located at the former town square on Court Street, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  The plans for the erection of the Portsmouth Confederate Monument began in 1875 with the formation of the Portsmouth and Norfolk County Monument Association, whose mission it was to honor Portsmouth and Norfolk County's Confederate war dead.  Subsequently, this Association petitioned and received the approval of the City of Portsmouth for the placement of the Monument.  Following that approval by the City, the placement of the Monument progressed ultimately to the formal dedication of the Monument in 1893, all a result of the combined efforts of local citizens, the Monument Association, the Ladies' Memorial Aid Association of Portsmouth, and the Stonewall Camp Number 380, United Confederate Veterans.

Stonewall Jackson Billboard Installed

It’s up!!!!

The Virginia Flaggers are pleased to announce that our second billboard is up in downtown Charlottesville! This time we used a Judy Smith Photography photo of the Thomas J “Stonewall” Jackson monument in Jackson Park, and a quote from the general.

We love how it turned out and are excited about plans for more of these across the Commonwealth!  This one will be honoring Jackson and making liberal heads explode in Charlottesville for the entire month of May.  ;)

The Virginia Flaggers would like to offer special thanks to the UVA alumnus who contacted us and offered to sponsor this billboard after the first one debuted last year,  and to all of you whose generous support make all of our flag and heritage defense (and offense!) projects possible. 

God bless the eternal memory of Stonewall Jackson, and God save the South!

Gun Control ?

A question to all the folks who are in favor of gun control -

How you gonna do it ?

Go door to door confiscating all guns ?

( I see a 4th amendment issue )

A voluntary turn in program ?

(Pfffffffft )

Legislation outlawing gun ownership ? 

( Repeal the 2nd amendment ? )

 “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns !
