An old woman asked the purposed form of American government: “Well, Doctor, what do we have, a republic, or a monarchy?” Reportedly, Benjamin Franklin replied, “a republic, if you can keep it.” From the very beginning the American Republic, it was doomed, barely lasting over 60 years, and suffering a bloody death by 1865.

Sectionalism was the cracking force from the inception, each section trying to secure dominance over the other, for economic reasons but also because of cultural philosophies. The South was largely agrarian, paternalistic, and with a diverse society not bent on forcing her ideology on her neighbors. We had Cavaliers near the coast, and Scottish Highlanders and the Irish inland. The Yankee, the offspring of Pietist Puritanism, has always demanded everyone conform to their own society, and nothing has changed in 400 years. Throughout the history of the Republic, the offspring of Plymouth Rock has had no stomach for the South, nor her having too much power in Congress. I assume their envious and mercantile mind cannot understand freedom and sovereignty. Therefore, to ensure the New England states would prevail, they went as far as denying Negro slaves their right to be considered whole beings in regard to congressional accounting, conniving and forcing the South into compromise, having their servants counted as only three fifths of a person. Not to mention their own Jim Crow laws, which were first imposed in Yankeedom. If you don’t believe me, the Abbeville Institute and Brion McClanahan have excellent resources on the matter. In short: we are not the same!

So, I was recently asked, from someone I truly believe to be a very sincere person, “Instead of Southern Nationalism, why not try and save the Republic?”

Honestly, I was a little shocked, as nice as they appeared to be, they truly have not contemplated all that entails for the Southern people. I won’t be too hard on this pleasant person, perhaps they missed the day when the history of Reconstruction in the South was taught, if it was taught at all. Possibly, they did not realize the starvation, impoverishment, theft, and the general degradation that the people of Dixie endured, both black and White, because of trying to “save the Republic.” It’s totally believable that they did not know of the Union troops let loose to rape, not just Southern women, but even Negro slaves. And though some of the Union officers were court martialed, many were reinstated, continuing their bloodlust on my noble people. Not to mention Sherman’s “March to the Sea,” and the total war the sociopath unleashed on the Southland, and then later devastated the Indian Tribes in the West.

Yet, my people, even after we partially recovered from the forces that destroyed us, and in order to “save the Republic,” have displayed the utmost hospitality to our conquerors. However, the Yankee has opened up new fronts in their never-ending war on my people. They’ve sent their agents to infiltrate our cities, our schools, our churches, and our communities – wreaking havoc on our civilization, but even that did not stir us to action.

Then they started digging up our ancestors’ graves… That was the last straw for true Southerners.

“No polity can be devised which shall perpetuate freedom among a people that are dead to honor and integrity. Liberty and virtue are twin sisters, and the best fabric in the world…”

James Henley Thornwell

“Americans” are now buyers and sellers in an international economic zone, many of whom have no grasp of history, other than what they have been introduced via an ahistorical media. They are not honorable, nor worthy of preserving.

So, dear nice person, I will not try to save your republic, but use every ounce of my energy to see it ended; and do so in the spirit of that ancient writing that birthed your now decaying “American Republic,” that secessionist document penned by the premier statesman of the South, Thomas Jefferson:

“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”

Deo Vindice!

God save the South!
