Battle of Franklin, Tenn. Nov 30, 1864
"White Mansions" is a CD having to with the War for Southern Independence and Mr. Waylon Jennings sings a fair amount on this song collection and whenever ABS listens to him sing, when he hears his deep, rich, soulful voice, and he hears his mournful low-note guitar playing, ABS always imagines that he is hearing a chain of memory being dragged across the rocky floor of some long-forgotten Southern Sepulcher.
And the chain is being dragged by a hated Haint, dressed in his ragged Confederate Gray Long Coat, and the chain he is dragging is comprised of the links of lies, enmity, and ignorance, forged in the minds of the Jacobinite North and imprisoning nearly the entire populace with its haughty and vindictive "memory," and this Haint will haunt that sepulcher until America releases him from his bondage with the key of righteousness; a righteousness that, finally, at long last, gives the Southern Cause its due respect and honors the Confederate soldiers and the memories of them by the descendants of those who fought with such heroic courage.
There ought be a day of National mourning - especially for the "victors" -in this savage example of Total War against one's own people. There has never been and there can never be any cause that could justify such barbarism and ABS finds it despicable that the Southern man is the only regional man in America who is expected to repudiate his own kith and kin, blood and soil, and worship the Golden Calf of Union and its False God, the execrable tyrant, Abraham Lincoln.
And this was not a Civil War because for it to be a Civil War, the Confederate States of America would have had to be fighting to rule all of America and clearly it was not; it wanted to be left the hell alone and there is no question in ABS's own mind that the entire world would have been much better off if the Northern Jacobins had lost and had to retreat back into a real Republic.
This was the War for Southern Independence and that lost cause is to be lamented.

The War was all about freeing the slaves, right? That is the propagandistic lie advanced by virtually every living politician and person allowed to comment in our media. That being so, it pays to quote Prof. Clyde Wilson's observation about the state of slavery in the states of these United States when the monstrous lying dictator, Lincoln, began his War of Northern Aggression in an attempt to prevent the Southern States from legally exercising their right to secede:
At the time when Lincoln inaugurated coercion against the seven seceding Southern states, there were (rounding off 1860 census figures) 1,387,000 slaves in the seceded states and 1,817,000 (or over 56 per cent of the total American slave population)still in the Union, including nearly 3,700 in the District of Columbia and 18 in New Jersey. It is hard to draw much of a moral to support military conquest of seceding states from that, especially as Lincoln had already declared that he had neither the right nor to desire to interfere with slavery in the states.
Battle of Franklin, Tenn. Nov 30, 1864
A Sister-in-law is an English Professor at a local College, Belmont, near Franklin, Tennessee and oncet ABS and The Bride went to visit her and we toured the site of this fierce and deadly battle; it is where The Army of Tennessee died during one night and where Nine Thousand Men were killed in only six hours of fighting.
ABS was not the only man who openly wept during this tour. It is heart-wrenching and if you have a lively imagination this is one War for Southern Independence Battlefield that you ought tour so you can compassionate the brave souls who gave their lives for liberty and your tears can help quench their thirst to be remembered.
At The Carter House, one can still see the blood stains on the floor and one can put his finger in bullet holes in the house and the barn and one can see the cellar where the Carter Family, and others, holed-up trying to avoid death during the battle.
And the young Captain Tod Carter who had escaped from capture by the invading Armies of the North?
He was cut-down by enemy fire as he tried to fight his way home; and as he lay there in the dark, slowly bleeding-out onto his ancestral land, little did he realise that he symbolised Liberty bleeding-out onto its ancestral lands all over the South because some mercantilist madman in Washington would not let The Southern man live free; and millions of other Southerners who just wanted to be left alone to live their lives free from the orders of the self-righteous war criminal bastid Lincoln in Washington also stained their ancestral lands with their own blood and we Americans are taught to think the War of Northern Aggression against men who just wanted to be left alone was, although a bit unfortunate and bloody, a necessary evil.
Basta!!!!!
I'd take one Captain Tod Carter over one million Lincolns; but, America loves a "winner" and in Washington we have a gigantic statue of The War Criminal, Lincoln, while nine Americans know about Captain Tod Carter who symbolised the American Liberty that Lincoln ordered killed.
Lord have mercy.
Captain Tod Carter
