JOSHUA DOGGRELL was a well-respected police lieutenant on the Anniston, Alabama force. Interested in Southern history and identity, he was a member of the League of the South. His membership was well-known for years and had been officially declared acceptable as a right of his private citizenship. Not the slightest hint of "racism" could be found in his work or private life-far from it. He was considering resigning from the League because of tendencies he did not agree with. Then, in June 2015 he was subjected to a hit piece "exposure" by the notorious Southern Poverty Law Center. Without his knowledge he was fired the next day by the mayor at a press conference, in disregard of all the legal personnel policy requirements. In thoughtful retrospect Doggrell, in DOXED, describes the injuries inflicted on his life and family by the city's action and the lack of integrity and honesty on the part of public officials at every level.Doxing, the calculated destruction of private life of individuals by Woke organisations zealous in suppressing freedom of opinion, has now been inflicted on numerous Americans. It can be done to anyone at any time. Doggrell's book lets us know about this awful reality.

H.V. TRAYWICK JR. IS A VIRGINIAN-the real thing. He is a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute with a history degree from the University of Richmond and is now retired from long service as a tugboat captain on Chesapeake Bay.This, his most recent book, is a meditation on his frequent long drives along the shadowy line of the Union/Confederate border from Virginia to Kansas. He has made the journey in fulfilment of kinship responsibility. ALONG THE SHADOW LINE is an interesting reflection on the American past and present as seen by a Southerner well steeped in our history. The account is spatial, temporal, historical, and spiritual. It is a heritage American's view of our disintegrating and alien society and the price the South has paid for belonging to that society. In earlier memoirs Traywick covered his time as an officer in Vietnam (Road Gang: A Memoir of Engineering Service in Vietnam) and his period of questing and traveling afterward (Starlight on the Rails: A Vietnam Veteran's Long Road Home). Traywick's previous books include The Empire of Owls, The Virginia Iliad, A Southern Soldier Boy, The Monumental Truth, Of Apostates and Scapegoats, and The Woke Revolution, among others.

As war loomed in March 1861, President Jefferson Davis sent Ambrose Dudley Mann on an important diplomatic mission abroad to seek recognition of the Confederate States of America from the chief European powers. When the war ended four years later, Mann took up residence in France and stayed there as a voluntary exile for the rest of his life. In Paris, and at his country estate in Chantilly, he kept up a correspondence with Davis and other friends. Most of Mann's papers have been lost to history, but this book presents a newly discovered collection of his letters written from 1867 to 1879. They are deeply personal writings revealing a personality dominated by two great earthly passions, the first of which was an independent South, and the second, a beautiful widow from South Carolina, Mrs. Susan Sparks Keitt, to whom all the letters are addressed. Mann writes of other ex-Confederates in Paris, Reconstruction politics in America, the horrific conditions in Paris when the city was under siege during the Franco-Prussian War, and visits by his treasured friend Jefferson Davis. Mrs. Davis wrote that the two men loved each other "like David and Jonathan, until extreme old age." Mann also cherished Mrs. Keitt until his death, and his letters are a testament of his devotion to her and his beloved South.

CRITICAL RACE THEORY AND IDENTITY POLITICS are two of the most dreadful frauds ever. They are based on the false premise that America is in perpetual conflict between oppressor and victim classes. Moreover, your status as an oppressor is determined by immutable personal features such as skin color or gender. Regardless of your character or behavior you are deemed to be a racist oppressor if you are white and a sexist oppressor if you are male. The two dogmas conversely teach that if you are black or female you are a victim and can never control your destiny through personal industry and foresight. Neither, consequently, can you be held accountable for any lack of industry and foresight. They teach that it is impossible to be either race-neutral or gender-neutral. Instead, one must become "antiracist" or "antisexist." To be "antiracist" or "antisexist" is to promote policies that improve racial or gender "equity"- meaning equality of outcomes collectively as opposed to equality of opportunity individually. The focus on the collective means that blacks and females cannot be individually held responsible for subpar performance until such time as blacks and females as a group perform as well as the so-called oppressor class collectively. The remedial actions invariably take the form of mandatory quotas in favor of the so-called victim classes. Even when state courts have ruled gender or race affirmative actions to be illegal, educational institutions circumvent the rules by jiggering the admissions policies through such actions as abandoning college board exams and accepting a fixed percentage of each high school senior class regardless of the school's academic standing. Ultimately Critical Race Theory and Identity Politics aim to destroy America's traditional meritocracy. They have infected government, military, media, and business organizations with indoctrination cessions that demonize white males and teach that they must step aside to make way for racial and gender equity. Such teachings even extend into K-12 Public Education. A 2021 Yale University survey revealed that 35% of students first learned about Critical Race Theory in high school. Historian Philip Leigh is the author of nine books, including some on controversial aspects of American history. In The Deadly Frauds he explains the nature and consequences of Critical Race Theory, its Identity Politics enforcement arm, and the damage they are doing to our civilization.

AMERICA'S NEO-MARXISTS WHO CONTROL the political and social establishment understand that well-armed. Americans will not tolerate their leftist tyranny. They understand that before they can force average Americans to accept their perverted social and political vision, they must first disarm us! America's Founding Fathers understood the value of arms in the hands of free men. They knew that the first step a tyrant must take to turn free men into political slaves is to disarm them. They secured the right to keep and bear arms by enacting the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment was not enacted to allow country boys to go squirrel hunting! It was enacted to allow free men to defend themselves against tyrants. Unfortunately, too many gun-rights activist do not understand that no part of the Constitution, including the Second Amendment, is self-enforcing. Without a strong political mechanism to enforce the limitations on federal powers inscribed in the Constitution, the Constitution become a mere paper barricade. Nullifying Federal and State Gun Control: A How-To Guide for Gun Owners provides gun-rights advocates with a means to protect your rights under the Constitution. This book demonstrates the only way "We the people" can enforce our rights and liberties under the Constitution.

Walter Brian Cisco's War Crimes Against Southern Civilians is the first book-length survey of the Union's "hard war" against the people of the Confederacy--one that included the shelling and burning of cities, systematic destruction of entire districts, mass arrests, forced expulsions, wholesale plundering, and murder.In a series of compelling chapters, Cisco chronicles the St. Louis massacre, where Federal authorities proceeded to impose a reign of terror and dictatorship in Missouri. He tells of the events leading to, and the suffering caused by, the Federal decree that forced twenty thousand Missouri civilians into exile. The arrests of civilians, the suppression of civil liberties, theft, and murder to "restore the union" in Tennessee are also examined.Women and children were robbed, brutalized, and left homeless in Sherman's infamous raid through Georgia. In South Carolina, homes, farms, churches, and whole towns disappeared in flames. Civilians received no mercy at the hands of the Union invaders.Thoroughly researched from sources including letters, diaries, and newspaper accounts of the time, Walter Brian Cisco's exhaustive book notably pays careful attention to the suffering of African-American victims of Federal brutality, revealing that wherever Federal troops encountered Southern blacks, whether free or slave, they were robbed, brutalized, belittled, kidnapped, threatened, tortured, and sometimes raped or killed by their blue-clad "liberators."Apologists for Lincoln's hard war continue to downplay the suffering endured and the damage done, blame the victims, or call some of the above incidents "accidents" or "mistakes." Many also cling to the Lincolnian myth that only by the most horrendous of wars could the slaves be freed, ignoring the fact that the rest of the Western world managed to bring an end to the institution without bloodshed. This book serves to set the record straight and to show that the war on Southern civilians was not justified, despite the convictions by many that such a war was necessary to save the union.Walter Brian Cisco's first book, States Rights Gist: A South Carolina General of the Civil War, a biography of the little-known general, was a 1992 selection of the History Book Club. He is also the author of Taking a Stand: Portraits from the Southern Secession Movement, Henry Timrod: A Biography, and Wade Hampton: Confederate Warrior, Conservative Statesman, considered the definitive biography of Hampton and the 2006 winner of the Douglas Southall Freeman History Award. He lives in Orangeburg, South Carolina. "Of all the enormities committed by Americans in the nineteenth century--including slavery and the Indian wars--the worst was the invasion of the South, which destroyed some twenty billion dollars of private and public property and resulted in the deaths of some two million people, most of whom were civilians--both white and black."--David Aiken, editor of A City Laid Waste: The Capture, Sack, and Destruction of the City of Columbia

It belongs on every bookshelf, from the airport kiosk to the library of the professional historian.

FROM THE AUTHORS OF THE SOUTH WAS RIGHT! comes a new edition of what one historian calls one of the most important and original histories of the Southern people. PUNISHED WITH POVERTY tells the unvarnished story of the intentional policy of economic devastation and exploitation of the South which has affected all Southerners, both black and white, long after the close of the "Civil War" and "Reconstruction." In fact, the sad legacy of these punitive policies continues to this very day. The over-arching theme of Southern history is not Race, as is conventionally stated, but Poverty-poverty not due to the South's shortcomings but imposed on them by the system under which they live.PUNISHED WITH POVERTY is a timely and much needed contribution to the understanding of both the South and the nature of the "Federal Empire" under which all Americans now live. New edition includes 5 new appendixes and over 100 illustrations. COMMENTS ON PUNISHED WITH POVERTY "If enough Southerners would read and take to heart Punished with Poverty, it would bring about a revolution in American politics." - Dr. Clyde N. Wilson, author, publisher, and "Godfather" of Southern History "Long known for their intellectual fearlessness, the best-selling authors of The South Was Right! examine the roots of Southern poverty and the continuing struggle between the Southern culture-Bible believing, conservative and pro-Constitution-and the Federal Empire, which seeks to expand its power and stifle and restrict individual liberty at every opportunity. This eye-opening book focuses on the economic aspects of that struggle (but not exclusively) and should be required reading in every American history course in this country. . ." - Dr. Samuel Mitcham, author of It Wasn't About Slavery: Exposing the Great Lie of the Civil War and The Greatest Lynching in American History: New York 1863 "As the Kennedy's have explained in this impressive book, the Confederate dead were not the only Southerners buried by the War. Lincoln's 'New America' foisted years of poverty on the South and her people, which is why for generations more Southerners considered Reconstruction a greater calamity than the War itself. This book will certainly open your eyes." - Brion McClanahan, Ph.D, author of Southern Scribblings and 9 Presidents Who Screwed Up America "The Kennedy Twins demonstrates that the War did not end slavery but only transformed it into sharecropping, a new form of slavery enslaving both Black and White Southerners." - Paul C. Gramling, Jr., Commander-in-Chief, Sons of Confederate Veterans, 2018-20 "It is a well-known fact that the South is the poorest region in the country, and has been for the last 150 years. But, unbeknownst to many, history shows that it was once the richest. In this must-read volume, Southern historians Ronald and Donald Kennedy explain in meticulous detail how that happened and, most importantly, why! Every Southerner should read this book!" - Ryan S. Walters, author of Remember Mississippi and The Last Jeffersonian

LAST TRAIN TO DIXIE is a collection of Jack Trotter's Southern essays, many of them published over the course of more than a decade in Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture. Several of these essays look back towards the legacy of slavery, Reconstruction, and segregation, while others explore cultural themes in the more recent past, including several forays across the troubled terrain of the New South.Implicit in most of these essays, both serious and humorous, is a concern for the question of Southern identity: how it was shaped, how it is threatened, and how it might endureESSAYS"In All the Ancient Circles" Tourism and the Decline of Charleston's Elite FamiliesOf Monkeys and MermaidsThe Strange Career of SegregationGrace King and the Prayers of WomenThe Faces of MenZora Neale Hurston's White MareThe Crossroads MerchantsGOP CountryBooks Are for Blockheads! or, the Buckhead BomberThe Flamingo KidDixie for DummiesEating CrowOn Secession HillThe Last Train: An Epilogue

An Irreverent look behind the scenes of the Transplant BusinessHaving escaped the clutches of the Grim Reaper at age five and outlived the doctors' prediction of an early death, Don Gordon was at the top of his game until he found himself in the fight of his life as he fought for his life against the very people who were supposed to be fighting to save his life.The story that you are about to read is true told with as little exaggeration and dramatization as possible, however, some of the names have been changed to protect the guilty.While the author is the central character this book, is not about him, but rather the medical "professionals" with which he came into contact in his successful attempt to save his own life."One day: says Gordon, "you will need 'professionals' from this same industry to save your life so I thought that you should know that if you don't understand the rules then you don't stand a SNOWBALL'S CHANCE IN HELL."

To date the first and second edition of this book has sold over 135,000 copies!

The Yankee Empire broke the bargain! The South is no longer 'patriotically' required to remain loyal to the Yankee Empire...""If Southerners continue to remain pacified subjects of a supreme federal government that is actively engaged in anti-South, cultural genocide, then the South will turn into another Detroit, Chicago, Zimbabwe or Venezuela....""If the ruling elites in Washington reject the demands of the people for a government more respectful of our rights, then it will be faced with the prospect of the Southern people-as well as people in conservative "red counties" across America following the lead of Lithuania (1990) and England via Brexit (2016) as we demand the right of self-determination.""This book is a call to action to all people who love liberty and truth."

JOHN FRANCIS CALHOUN was a grand-nephew of John C. Calhoun. He entered the Confederate Army in April 1861 as a lieutenant in the 7th South Carolina Volunteers. During the following year of service he wrote "my own darling wife" Rebecca Noble Calhoun at least twice weekly. A remarkably complete collection of around 100 of his letters has survived. Calhoun owned several farms, a tanning yard, and a grist mill in Abbeville District, South Carolina. His letters not only give an account of his life as a soldier, and his concern for his wife and infant daughter at home. They are also a rich source of information about farming, business, and extended family of the time.From the letters: "Those who will not now come forth and strike a blow in defence of our homes, do not deserve the name of freeman and the benefits and enjoyments of a free government." "I hear some of the officers and men saying this war is making business women of our wives, they are economizing and attending to business like men and learning to be very ingenious in making everything at home.""Our revolutionary fathers fought seven years, half-fed, poorly clad, and in the dead of winter they were often bare footed, and could be tracked by the blood on the snow and ice from their bleeding feet; and are we unworthy of the rich legacy they handed down to us - shall we falter when we are 'almost there'"?

Robert E. Lee, one of the greatest heroes of history and one of the greatest examples of a true gentleman, has not fared well in our time of cancel culture. This book is designed to give an introduction to the real Lee to future generations-your children and grandchildren. Beautifully illustrated, it is a biographical treasure for the teaching of young people. Your family will likely cherish it for a long time.

Punished with Poverty shows that their suffering was the deliberate policy of the Federal Government controlled by Northerners who had made their intentions toward the South clear from the beginning: ''We mean to conquer them, Subjugate them,'' make them ''find poverty at their firesides, and see privation in the anxious eyes of mothers and the rags of children.'' This book is thoroughly researched and documented and it corrects many egregious untruths promoted by the politically correct. It is a lively read with a strong bibliography and valuable addenda. It greatly enhances one''s understanding of the causes of the War Between the States, and the enormous suffering in its aftermath." - Gene Kizer, Jr, author of Slavery Was Not the Cause of the War Between the States, The Irrefutable Argument
