"Reconstruction was one big wealth grab on the South. There's a bigger reason why movies like 'Gone With The Wind' and 'Birth Of A Nation' are criticized than 'Muh Racism.' They make people think and want to start doing research instead of going along with the status quo." - RebelGrey
Centerville, Va. 28th Nov 1861. The Southern Cross is first issued to CS troops in Virginia.
George Pickett, Fitzhugh Lee and Thomas L Rosser, enjoyed a local tradition known as a shad bake. This involved attaching shad (a local herring) to boards, sticking them in the ground around a fire, then eating them. It had been a cold, hungry winter, and the shad provided the men with a rare treat. The only problem was that two miles away, Pickett's troops were being annihilated in what became known as the "Waterloo" of the Confederacy.

* "Some time was spent over lunch," recalled Rosser, "during which no firing was heard... We concluded that the enemy was not in much of a hurry to find us as Five Forks." Five Forks was the crucial crossroads which, that morning, Robert E Lee, the general-in-chief, had instructed Pickett to hold at all costs. The feasting generals heard nothing because the wooded area they were lunching in muffled the sound of gunfire. from Independent, Rhodri Marsden

RIGGING MARYLAND'S 1861 GENERAL ELECTIONS
Seven weeks before the November sixth, 1861, election Federal troops under Generals John Dix and Nathanial Banks together with the Baltimore police started arresting Southern sympathizers within the legislature enroute to a session scheduled for September seventeenth when it was apprehended that they would pass a secession ordinance. Secession was avoided because a combination of the arrests, and fear of arrests, resulted in a lack of a quorum. That was Lincoln’s first step.
His second step was to assure victory for his Union Party in the November sixth elections when a new governor, House of Delegates (H-o-D) members, and half the Senate would be elected. The official results showed Lincoln’s gubernatorial candidate won 68% of the vote while his Party won 90% of the H-o-D seats.
Since Lincoln got only 2.5% of Maryland’s vote a year earlier in the 1860 Presidential election, the 1861 results are doubtful. The chief explanation for the radical reversal was the overwhelming presence of Union soldiers throughout the state during the ‘61 elections, which rigged the outcome in favor of Lincoln administration candidates. Federal troops in Maryland at the time numbered over 130,000. There were no Confederate troops, and the Maryland Militia was mostly inactive. Many of the Federal soldiers were authorized to vote and they voted the Lincoln ticket. Since voting was not secret, proctors could see how votes were cast and ex post facto decide which ones they wanted to count.

When Lincoln's Secretary of War Simon Cameron requested Missouri Governor Claiborne Jackson provide troops for the Union invasion, this was the Governors reply:

"Sir, Your dispatch of the 15th instant, making a call on Missouri for four regiments of men for immediate service, has been received. There can be, I apprehend, no doubt that the men are intended to form a part of the President's army to make war upon the people of the seceded States. Your requisition, in my judgement, is illegal, unconstitutional, and revolutionary in its object, inhuman, diabolical and cannot be complied with. Not one man will the State of Missouri furnish to carry on any unholy crusade."

An epic response.

Terror Reign of the Jayhawkers
 
The Jayhawkers or otherwise known as Red Leggers were a violent abolitionist militia centered out of Lawrence, Kentucky. They had taken part in the Bleeding of Kentucky, a low key civil war in the 1850s. After the start of the Civil War, they began actively attacking into Missouri in an attempt to destroy support for the Confederacy by terrorizing and murdering the civilian population.
 
US Army General Blunt stated about them: "A reign of terror was inaugurated, and no man's property was safe, nor was his life worth much if he opposed them in their schemes of plunder and robbery."
 
The Missouri towns of Osceola, Morristown, Papinsvile, Butler, Dayton, and Columbus as well as an innumerable number of homesteads and farms were raided, pillaged, burned, with the women despoiled and the men tortured to death. This shows you once again, the tyrannical and self-righteous nature of those fighting "for the Union" to murder, rape and pillage those they considered their lessers.

A View of the Yankee People
by a Confederate officer captured at Gettysburg, writing to some friends on another subject when his mind turned to the Yankees.

“They believed their manners and customs more enlightened, their intelligence and culture immeasurably superior. Brim-full of hypocritical cant and puritan ideas, they preach, pray and whine. The most parsimonious of wretches, they extol charity; the most inveterate blasphemers, they are the readiest exporters; the worst of dastards, they are the most shameless boasters; the most selfish of man, they are the most blatant philanthropists; the blackest-hearted hypocrites, they are religious fanatics. They are agitators and schemers, braggarts and deceivers, swindlers and extortioners, and yet pretend to Godliness, truth, purity and humanity. The shibboleth of their faith is, “The union must and shall be preserved”, and they hold on to this with all the obstinacy peculiar to their nature. They say that we are a benighted people, and are trying to pull down that which God himself built up.

“Many of these bigots express great astonishment at finding the majority of our men could read and write; they have actually been educated to regard the Southern people as grossly illiterate, and little better than savages. The whole nation lives, breathes and prospers in delusions; and their chiefs control the spring of the social and political machine with masterly hands.

“I could but conclude that the Northern people were bent upon the destruction of the South. All appeared to deprecate the war, but were unwilling to listen to a separation of the old union. They justified the acts of usurpation on the part of their government, and seem submissive to the tyranny of its acts on the plea of military necessity; they say that the union is better than the Constitution, and bow their necks to the yoke in the hope of success against us. A great many, I believe, act from honest and conscientious principles; many from fear and favor; but the large majority entertained a deep-seated hatred, envy and jealousy towards the Southern people and their institutions. They know (yet they pretend not to believe it) that Southern men and women are their superiors in everything relating to bravery, honesty, virtue and refinement, and they have become more convinced of this since the present war; consequently, their worst passions have become aroused, and they give way to frenzy and fanaticism. We must not deceive ourselves; they are bent upon our destruction, and differ mainly in the means of accomplishing this end.

“However, much as sections and parties that hate each other, yet, as a whole, they hate us more. They are so entirely incongruous to our people that they and their descendants will ever be our natural enemies.

From the October 17, 1866 edition of The New York Times.

On Sept. 22, Gen. Wade Hampton delivered an address at Walhalla, Pickens District, S.C. The fol­lowing is the part of the speech which relates to na­tional affairs:

You may perhaps, fellow-citizens, think that any discussion of general politics is inappropriate on an occasion of this sort, but as I may not again have an opportunity to place myself right upon the record, or to correct the misrepresentations of both my antecedent and present position, disseminated by the Radical Press, may I claim your indul­gence for a brief discussion of these topics? It is full time that some voice from the South should be raised to declare, that though conquered she is not humiliated; though she submits she is not degraded; that she has not lost her self-respect; that she laid down her arms on honorable terms; that she has observed these terms with the most perfect faith, and that she has a right to demand a like observance of them on the part of the North. Would to God that some voice more potent than mine would utter these truths! Would to God that the tongues of those great states­men of Carolina, who, in times past, warned, coun­seled, directed our people, were not hushed in death, or those which more recently stirred the Southern heart to Its profoundest depths, were not now as silent as death itself.

But perhaps in the midst of this silence so pro­found, even my voice, feeble as it is, may not be without that weight which always attaches to the utterance of truth, and in this hope I venture to dis­cuss our condition and our policy. What, then, is our condition? For four years the South was the vic­tim of a cruel and unnecessary war—a war marked on the part of her opponents by a barbarity never surpassed, if equated, in the annals of civilized warfare. The sword failed to conquer her, for on nearly every bat­tlefield she was victorious, and her enemies were breed to resort to weapons more congenial to their nature—fire and famine. The torch was applied with an unsparing hand. The mansion of the rich; the cottage of the poor; peaceful villages; thriving cities; even the temples of the Most High God, fell before this ruthless destroyer, leaving to mark the spots where once they stood, but ashes and blackened ruins.

All the industrial resources of the South were wan­tonly destroyed or stolen, and gaunt famine followed in the footsteps of the invaders. The men who had borne without a murmur every privation, who had faced death in a thousand shapes without flinching, were not proof against the cries which come to them from homeless and starving wives and children. They laid down their arms, which they had crowned with eternal lustre, and they accepted the terms offered to them by the North. What were these terms? Throughout the whole war the North declared in the most solemn and authoritative manner that she fought solely to reestablish the Union; to bring back to one fold all the Slates, and to give to all equal rights and equal liberty. This was the constant declaration of Mr. Lincoln. Mr. Seward not only announced the same principle, but he declared that whatever might be the result of the war not only would all the rights of the Southern States be preserved, but that all their institutions would be intact. The Congress of the United States in a resolution passed, I think unanimously, and never repealed, announced the object and the sole object of the war to be the restoration of the Union under the supremacy of the Constitution. The very powers under which we laid down our arms promised the protection of the Government and gave the assurance that we should not be interfered with, so long as we obeyed the laws of the States wherein we resided. These declarations were made not only to the South, but to foreign nations; and the South was assured that she had but to acknowledge the supremacy of the National Government to be received into the Union, as equal members of the great family of States, with all her rights and all her privileges un­impaired.

Of all the inconsistencies of which the North has been guilty-and their name is legion-none is greater than that by which she forced the Southern States, while rigidly excluding them from the Union, to ratify the Constitutional Amendment abolishing slavery, which they could do legally only as States of that Union. But the deed has been done, and I for one, do honestly declare that I never wish to see it revoked. Nor do I believe that the people of the South would now remand the negro to slavery if they had the power to do so unquestioned. Under our paternal care, from a mere handful he grew to be a mighty host. He came to us a heathen, we made him a Christian. Idle, vicious, savage in his own country; in ours he became industrious, gentle, civilized. Let his history as a slave be compared hereafter with that which he will make for himself as a freeman, and by the result of that comparison we are willing to be judged. A great responsibility is lifted from our shoulders by this emancipation, and we willingly commit his destiny to his own hands, hoping that he may prove himself worthy of the new position in which he has been placed. As a slave he was faithful to us; as a freeman, let us treat him as a friend. Deal with him frankly, justly, kindly, and my word for it he will reciprocate your kindness, clinging to his old home, his own country and his former masters. If you wish to see him contented, industrious, useful, aid him in his effort to elevate himself in the scale of civilization, and thus fit him not only to enjoy the blessings of freedom, but to appreciate its duties.

The essential points then, in the policy we should pursue are, it appears to me, these: That we should fulfill all the obligations we have entered into to the letter, keeping our faith so clear that no shadow of dishonor can tall on us; that we should sustain Mr. Johnson cordially in his policy, giving our support to that party which rallies around him; that we should full obedience to the laws of the land, reserving to ourselves at the same time the inalienable right of freedom of speech and of opinion; and that, as to the great question which so materially affected our interests, the abolition of Slavery, we should de­clare it settled forever. Pursue this course steadily, bear with patience and dignity those evils which are pressing heavily on you. Commit yourselves to the guidance of God, and whatever may be your fate you will be able to face the future without self-reproach.

Brother Soldiers of Pickens: Tho grateful task your kindness imposed on me is finished. I wish that I could have discharged it in a manner more worthy of you, of the occasion, and of the men whose memory you are now honoring. But your kindness, of which I have had so many proofs, will induce you to overlook the many faults of my performance, I am sure, knowing, as you must do, how fully my heart is with you in the sacred work you have this day commenced.

It only remains for me to thank you for the courte­sies you have extended to me on this occasion; to thank you, as I do most gratefully, for the spontaneous and unsolicited compliment you paid me a year ago at the ballot box, and to wish that you may be prosperous, happy and free. from The Abbeville Institute

“And now I turn to the consideration of a grievous reproach often directed against the men who fought in the armies of the South in the Civil War. When we claim for them the crown of patriotism, when we aver that they drew their swords in what they believed to be the cause of liberty and self-government, it is answered that the corner-stone of the Southern Confederacy was slavery, and that the soldiers who fought under the banner of the Southern Cross were fighting for the perpetuation of the institution of slavery.

  That is a statement which I wish to repudiate with all the earnestness of which I am capable. It does a grievous injustice to half a million patriot soldiers who were animated by as pure a love of liberty as ever throbbed in the bosom of man, and who made as splendid an exhibition of self-sacrifice on her behalf as any soldiers who ever fought on any field since history began.
  
In the first place, I ask, If slavery was the corner-stone of the Southern Confederacy, what are we to say of the Constitution of the United States? That instrument, as originally adopted by the thirteen colonies contained three sections which recognized slavery. (Art. 1, Sec
. 2 and 9, and Art. 4, Sec. 2.) And whereas the Constitution of the Southern Confederacy prohibited the slave trade, the Constitution of the United States prohibited the abolition of the slave trade for twenty years (1789-1808)! And if the men of the South are reproached for denying liberty to three and a half million of human beings, at the same time that they professed to be waging a great war for their own liberty, what are we to say of the revolting colonies of 1776 who rebelled against the British crown to achieve their liberty while slavery existed in every one of the thirteen colonies undisturbed? Can not those historians who deny that the South fought for liberty, because they held the blacks in bondage, see that upon the same principal they must impugn the sincerity of the signers of the Declaration of Independence? We ask the candid historian to answer this question: If the colonists of 1776 were freeman fighting for liberty, though holding the blacks in slavery in every one of the thirteen colonies, why is the title of soldiers of liberty denied the Southern men of 1861, because they too held the blacks in bondage? Slavery was an inheritance which the people of the South received from the fathers, and if the States of the North, within fifty years of the Revolution, abolished the institution, it cannot be claimed that the abolition was dictated by moral considerations, but by differences of climate, soil, and industrial interests.”

General Bryan Grimes writing about Appomattox --

Upon reaching them one of the soldiers' inquired if General Lee had surrendered; upon answering I feared it was a fact that we had been surrendered, he cast away his musket, and holding his hands aloft, cried in an agonized voice, “Blow, Gabriel, blow; My God, let him blow; I am ready to die.” We then went beyond the creek at Appomattox Court House and stacked arms amid the bitter tears of bronzed veterans, regretting the necessity of capitulation.

Among the incidents ever fresh in my memory of this fatal day to the Confederacy is the remark of a private soldier. When riding up to my old regiment to shake by the hand each comrade (who had followed me through four years of suffering, toil and privation, often worse than death,) to bid them a final, and in many cases an eternal farewell, a cadaverous, ragged, barefooted man grasped me by the hand and, choking with sobs, said: “Good-bye, General, God bless you, we will go home, make three more crops and try them again.” I mention this instance simply to show the spirit, the pluck and the faith of our men in the justice of our cause, and that they surrendered more to grim famine than to the prowess of our enemies
