Just South of Downtown Dallas Commander’s Report Compatriots, Living in the 21st century leads one to get lost in the minutia of the day-to-day. These small and insignificant matters constantly and consistently vie for our attention. If we’re not careful, we can allow them to overtake the big picture. This happens to people every day. Being a member of the SCV does not make one immune to this problem. So often, men with otherwise good, or even exceptional, talents get sidetracked from their destiny. This sidetracking often takes the form of personal squabbles, unquenchable desires for power, or stubborn pigheadedness. It’s ironic; we live in an age of instant communications, a time where an idea can travel around the world in less than a minute. Yet we can’t get past the small troubles of today to send a quality idea to the masses. In an age where leadership is defined as not saying anything too controversial, where the “best” decision is to sit on the fence, where the “smart” move is not to make a move at all…is it a surprise that nothing gets done? It’s time to move beyond the pettiness and pretension. It’s time to take a good, hard look in the mirror and decide who it is we are, and what we stand for. The first order of business is to take back what’s ours. Namely, our precious and holy banner, the Confederate Battle Flag. For too long we’ve allowed imposters free reign to steal our sacred symbol and misuse it for their own devious purposes…all the while painting us, and our ancestors, in the worst possible light. Today, this comes to an end. Today, we begin the journey to TAKE THE FLAG BACK. As the ancestors of the men and women who fought for this flag, it is our DUTY to see that it doesn’t rest in enemy hands. I have put one such enemy on notice. You will see the letter I mailed to these imposters this week. I ask that you see their address and “leadership” information contained in this letter…and then write your own letter. Let them know that their thievery, cowardice, and hijacking of our flag will not be tolerated…and must cease and desist immediately. If we are to accomplish our goals, the SCV must point out and eradicate those who deliberately cause us harm. The so- called organization I have targeted has done our SCV, as well as our ancestors’ reputation, more harm than any other in the last 100 years. It’s time we let them know who we are… BLESS GOD, DEO VINDICE Kevin Newsom VISIT OUR HOME ON THE WEB Commander Belo Camp 49 Dallas Texas SCV WWW.BELOCAMP.COM 214-422-1778 Camp News and Resources [email protected] COMMANDER - SONS OF CONFEDERATE VETERANS DALLAS, TEXAS ~WWW.B ELOCAMP.COM Pastor Thomas Robb Director, Knights Party of the KKK PO BOX 2222 Harrison, AR 72601 Pastor Robb, As a pastor, you are familiar with the principle of seek and ye shall find. It is an immutable law of nature. This law applies both to matters of the Kingdom as well as human history. This letter is to inform you that the Sons of Confederate Veterans have sought and found. Specifically, we've found--through intense study of history--that the Confederate armed forces consisted of more than white soldiers. Jews, blacks, American Indians, Latins, and Asians also volunteered, fought and died for the Confederate States of America. As a heritage organization charged with honoring Confederate soldiers and sailors, we would be remiss to leave you ill-informed of this truth. We would also be negligent in our duty to allow you to believe your organization has any claim whatsoever to the Confederate flag...or its heritage. Your use of the Confederate flag makes a mockery of your belief system. It also spreads a false, error-prone view of the War Between the States to the public. In short, it damages both organizations. I call on you and your organization to cease and desist use of any Confederate symbols. This includes rallies, promotional banners, and online stores. Historical fact and logic dictate this to be the most prudent course of action. If you refuse to listen to facts and logic, discontinue your use of Confederate symbols because Newsom orders it so. In the name of Jesus Christ, Kevin Newsom Commander Belo Camp 49 Dallas Texas SCV www.belocamp.com KEVIN NEWSOM – C O M M A N D E R – A.H.BELO CAMP 49 SONS OF CONFEDERATE VETERANS st 1 Lt. Commander’s report 1st Lieutenant Commander’s Report A big thank you to Col John Geider, who presented an excellent program at our September meeting on the battle of Gettysburg. Col John’s command of history combined with his career military experience gave him a unique perspective on the tactical and strategic elements of the battle. I heard several comments that this was one of our best presentations this year; and other comments that Col John’s presentation on Gettysburg rivaled some of the best they had ever heard on this topic. This month we are doing something very different from our typical meeting. Different venue and no speaker. Instead, renowned Confederate and Celtic musician, Jed Marum, will be presenting a special concert for us at the Pastime Tavern in downtown Dallas. Jed has played concerts literally all over the world. We are very blessed to have him in an up-close- and-personal setting to play for us. He will also have cds for sale at the event. A couple of reminders about the concert. First, we have plenty of room at the Tavern, so invite your friends and compatriots from other camps. We would like to make this a special event for the entire community. Secondly, Belo camp is providing food for your enjoyment at no cost to you at the concert, and the bar will be open for you to purchase your favorite beverage of choice. Finally, as a reminder - DO NOT show up at La Madeleine this week! We are meeting at Pastime Tavern, 1503 S Ervay Street, Dallas TX 75215 - for this meeting only. Future Meetings 2014 will be in the history books before you know it. Here is a quick look at events (and locations) for activities through the end of the year. 10/2/2014 Jed Marum A Special Evening of Music with Jed Marum – at Pastime Tavern 11/6/2014 Rudy Ray Fulfilling the Charge! – at La Madeleine 11/15/2014 Shooting Outing - at Grand Prairie Gun Club 12/6/2014 Camp Christmas Party - at Adjutant Stan Hudson's home 12/11/2014 Susan Hathaway The Virginia Flaggers Story – stay tuned for venue It has been my extreme privilege to serve as 1st Lt Commander of Belo Camp this year. You are a special group of men. God has blessed our camp in many ways through you over the past twelve months. Deo Vindice, Mark Nash 1st Lieutenant Commander Chaplain’s Corner Demons! Many of us are concerned over the ineffectiveness of our confederation. For all of our conferences, campaigns, movements, events and activities we are seemingly stuck in a rut and going nowhere. As someone once said, "The mountain labors and brings forth a mouse." What is it that makes our efforts mediocre when they could be miraculous? Could it be that we are being hindered by our own "demons?" Now, the demons to which I refer are not floating in the air above us like Humming Birds inspecting a bright red flower.

RECORD OF THE ORGANIZATIONS ENGAGED IN THE CAMPAIGN, SIEGE, AND DEFENSE OF VICKSBURG. COMPILED FROM THE OFFICIAL RECORDS BY jomsr s. KOUNTZ, SECRETARY AND HISTORIAN OF THE COMMISSION. WASHINGTON: GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE. 1901. PREFACE. The Vicksburg campaign opened March 29, 1863, with General Grant's order for the advance of General Osterhaus' division from Millikens Bend, and closed July 4^, 1863, with the surrender of Pem- berton's army and the city of Vicksburg. Its course was determined by General Grant's plan of campaign. This plan contemplated the march of his active army from Millikens Bend, La. , to a point on the river below Vicksburg, the running of the batteries at Vicksburg by a sufficient number of gunboats and transports, and the transfer of his army to the Mississippi side. These points were successfully accomplished and, May 1, the first battle of the campaign was fought near Port Gibson. Up to this time General Grant had contemplated the probability of uniting the army of General Banks with his. He then decided not to await the arrival of Banks, but to make the cam paign with his own army. May 12, at Raymond, Logan's division of Grant's army, with Crocker's division in reserve, was engaged with Gregg's brigade of Pemberton's army. Gregg was largely outnum bered and, after a stout fight, fell back to Jackson. The same day the left of Grant's army, under McClernand, skirmished at Fourteen- mile Creek with the cavalry and mounted infantry of Pemberton's army, supported by Bowen's division and two brigades of Loring's division.

Neely, Jr. McCabe-Greer Professor in the American Civil War Era Matthew J. Restall Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Colonial Latin American History, Anthropology, and Women‘s Studies Carla J. Mulford Associate Professor of English *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT During the four years of the American Civil War, the twenty-three states that comprised the Union initiated one of the most unprecedented social transformations in U.S. History, mobilizing the Union Army. Strangely, scholars have yet to explore Civil War mobilization in a comprehensive way. Mobilization was a multi-tiered process whereby local communities organized, officered, armed, equipped, and fed soldiers before sending them to the front. It was a four-year progression that required the simultaneous participation of legislative action, military administration, benevolent voluntarism, and industrial productivity to function properly. Perhaps more than any other area of the North, cities most dramatically felt the affects of this transition to war. Generally, scholars have given areas of the urban North low marks. Statistics refute pessimistic conclusions; northern cities appeared to provide a higher percentage than the North as a whole.

  • The Irony of Emancipation in the Civil War South Clark Scott Nesbit
    The Irony of Emancipation in the Civil War South Clark Scott Nesbit, Jr. Richmond, Virginia B.A., Swarthmore College, 2001 M.A., University of Virginia, 2005 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Corcoran Department of History University of Virginia December, 2013 2 © Clark Scott Nesbit, Jr., 2013 3 ABSTRACT Nearly everyone in the Civil War South had opportunity to feel the irony of emancipation. This irony arose from the wartime difference between ending slavery as a regime and freeing slaves, as individuals. This dissertation explores the ways in which white southerners sacrificed, or refused to sacrifice, their interest in the enslavement of particular southern blacks for the sake of a regime that would safeguard slavery. It argues that African Americans at times sought their own freedom even if it meant aiding the Confederate regime, and at other times sought to avoid warzones even if it meant remaining legally enslaved. It argues that the Union’s war to defeat the Confederacy was also a war waged against the Confederates’ main source of labor. Such a war meant, for most who became free in the Civil War, emancipation through displacement and integration into a new system for managing former slaves, the refugee camp/plantation/recruitment complex. For those who remained in the wake of Sherman’s marches and other U.S. raids, it meant living in a land with little food. 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my dissertation committee, Ed Ayers, Gary Gallagher, Peter Onuf, and Maurie McInnis for their patience and thoughtful critiques.

  • Download the Florida Civil War Heritage Trail
    Florida -CjvjlV&r- Heritage Trail .•""•^ ** V fc till -/foMyfa^^Jtwr^— A Florida Heritage Publication Florida . r li //AA Heritage Trail Fought from 1861 to 1865, the American Civil War was the country's bloodiest conflict. Over 3 million Americans fought in it, and more than 600,000 men, 2 percent of the American population, died in it. The war resulted in the abolition of slavery, ended the concept of state secession, and forever changed the nation. One of the 1 1 states to secede from the Union and join the Confederacy, Florida's role in this momentous struggle is often overlooked. While located far from the major theaters of the war, the state experienced considerable military activity. At one Florida battle alone, over 2,800 Confederate and Union soldiers became casualties. The state supplied some 1 5,000 men to the Confederate armies who fought in nearly all of the major battles or the war. Florida became a significant source of supplies for the Confederacy, providing large amounts of beef, pork, fish, sugar, molasses, and salt. Reflecting the divisive nature of the conflict, several thousand white and black Floridians also served in the Union army and navy. The Civil War brought considerable deprivation and tragedy to Florida. Many of her soldiers fought in distant states, and an estimated 5,000 died with many thousands more maimed and wounded. At home, the Union blockade and runaway inflation meant crippling scarcities of common household goods, clothing, and medicine. Although Florida families carried on with determination, significant portions of the populated areas of the state lay in ruins by the end of the war.

  • Reminiscences
    REMINISCENCES OF THE POLITICAL LIFE OF THE GERMAN-AMERICANS IN BALTIMORE, DURING 1850 — 1860. Reminiscenses OF THE Political Life of the German-Americans in Baltimore during 1850—1860. BY L. P. HENNIGHAUSEN. THE decade from 1850 to 1860 in the political life of the German-Americans in Baltimore is specially interesting. It was a period of independent original thought, of high intellectual activity, of aggressive propaganda, and of great suffering. The older German immigration had quietly adopted the political opinions of their American fellow citizens and according to inclination fell into the ranks of the existing Whig or De- mocratic parties. The political life of the German people before the memorable year of 1848 had been for a long time dormant. The attempt of 1833 to start a revolution in Germany was con- fined to the academic youth and a few literary men and never had a hold on the masses. In 1848 the idea of a liberal par- lamentary government for the German empire, or the formation of a republic, had taken hold of and stirred up the entire Ger- man nation. Want of experience in political party life, lack of organization and excesses of the radical faction, which fright- ened the conservative element, enabled the governments, who still had the control of the army, to regain the ascendency, to crush armed resistance and, a short time thereafter, to inaugurate the so-called reactionary period in Germany which lasted until about the year 1861. Whoever had taken an active part in the revolutionary movement was treated as a criminal.
