"If I ever disown, repudiate, or apologize for the
Cause for which Lee fought and Jackson died, let the lightnings of Heaven rend
me,
and the scorn of all good men and true women be my portion. Sun, Moon,
Stars, all fall on me when I cease to
love the Confederacy. 'Tis the cause, not
the fate of the Cause, that is glorious!"
-- Maj. R.E. Wilson, CSA

"The South is a land
that has known sorrows; it is
a land that has broken the ashen crust and moistened
it with tears; a land scarred and riven by
the plowshare of war and billowed with the graves
of her dead; but a land of legend, a
land of song, a land of hallowed and heroic memories.
"To that land every drop of my blood, every fiber
of my being, every pulsation of my heart, is
consecrated forever. I was born of her womb; I
was nurtured at her breast; and when my last hour
shall come, I pray GOD that I may be pillowed
upon her bosom and rocked to sleep within
her tender and encircling arms."
-- Edward Carmack United States House of
Representatives
