yeah nothing beats the original, but a lot of artist have done a great job remaking this awesome song. Johnny Cash did a great version, so did Black Crowes and Zac Brown. I think Zac Brown adds that southern feel to it that the song needs.

The Union County Board of Commissioners proclaimed December 8 as Confederate Pensioners of Color Day. Organizers said there is a group of confederate soldiers that never received proper recognition for their service, but they said in Union County, those days are over.

The Tom Smith Camp of the Sons of Confederate Veterans on Monday ...

In 1902 W. H. Councill, a colored Alabama teacher of an industrial school near Huntsville, writes to J. M. Falkner, the chief benefactor of the Confederate Home for Alabama, in which he makes a generous offer and some remarkable statements. The letter is as follows:

Dear Sir: In writing to you the other day in reference to the philanthropic work at Mountain Creek for the Confederate Veterans, I neglected to say that we should be proud to assist you in your laudable enterprise if you should desire us.

We can furnish you at any time ten or fifteen carpenters, painters, blacksmiths, and others who might be useful in building up your soldiers' home. We should be glad to work a week or ten days without money and without price. Our shoe department will be glad to furnish you with at least a dozen pairs of shoes a year for those grand old men who followed Lee's tattered banners down to Appomattox, leaving their bloody footprints over the snow covered hills of Virginia.

Although I came up from the other side of the flood and drank of the dregs of the cup of slavery, still I honor those gray haired veterans, and I feel that, when they pass away and when their old slaves have passed away, in a measure the power of the balance wheel of Southern society will be gone.

The propriety of this offer on my part may be called into question by those who do not measure slavery as I do. I feel that the slaves got more out of slavery than did their masters, in that the slaves were helped from the lowest state of barbarism to Christian citizenship of the greatest government the world ever knew.

Today, the grounds of Confederate Memorial
Park serve as a fitting memorial to the old
soldiers and widows of soldiers who once
lived there.

Our Father,

You are such a marvelous God! You, and you alone deserve our praise! May we truly be a thankful people for the many blessings you bestow upon us, especially at this Thanksgiving season. Thank you Jesus for the miracles that take place around us on a daily basis! May we never take them for granted or attribute them to any other than you! Thank you Lord for your greatest miracle when you emptied yourself of all but love and came and dwelt among us! May we never forget your love for us that made you care enough about sinful man to be born into our world to provide us the perfect payment for our sins to pay a price no one else could, so that by trusting you as our personal Lord and Savior we could achieve forgiveness for our sins and attain an eternal home in Heaven with you!

Jesus I pray that you would guide us, as we make ourselves available to be led, through the many minefields that Satan has set before us! Give us the strength and commitment to always follow you as you have marked out the pathway, safely through, for you children. It's when we stray from that path that we get into trouble by stepping into the traps of the Evil One. Keep us marching ever forward for you, knowing that the armour that you have given us as Christian soldiers will amply protect us. It's when we turn from the fight, exposing the only part not protected, that the foe you've already defeated - Satan - makes any headway against us! There are many of our members that stand in need of your healing touch, too many to list here by name, but you name of one. Touch their lives with your healing touch, I pray.

Lord, again we thank you for the honourable Southern heritage that you have blessed us with! Again, may our faces always be against the foe that seeks to destroy it. May we be prepared to stand our ground on truth, so that evil does not prevail! All this we humbly pray in the glorious name of Jesus Christ - Amen!

“…Might prevailed, but could not wrest from us the right of secession or lawfully punish it’s assertion.” Varina Howell Davis from her memoir published 1890.

I’m hearing lots of talk of secession this morning. It appears that just as in the 1860 election, we have a “strictly sectional” president. Not much support for the winner in the South.

On this day in 1861 Jefferson Davis is elected to a 6 year term as President of the Confederate States of America...Davis had already been serving as the temporary president for almost a year.

Lets hope we do as well today in choosing a Commander in Chief.
