First White House Of The Confederacy Museum
This video is about the Forst White House Of The Confederacy Mueseum
1866 - Varina Davis at the White House
This is a scene from THE GREAT SACRIFICE OF PRESIDENT JEFFERSON DAVIS (2007) Confederate Pictures Release. This scene's dialogue was taken from the account given by Ishbell Ross in the 1958 book, THE FIRST LADY OF THE CONFEDERACY, and in it, this conversation is detailed almost line for line from the 144 descendants from the Howell-Davis Marriage Union. Here, Varina Howell Davis visits the White House in1866 in order to secure Jefferson Davis' release from Casemate #2 Fortress Monroe. He was suffering terribly in that cold, drafty cell, while President Johnson was trying to get him to cop to a plea bargain in order to release him... he refused, upon pain of death, to ever do such a thing.
We actually filmed a couple of scenes IN Casemate #2 at Fortress Monroe to be used in these scenes in this film. (not in this clip, but in the movie).

The Truth About The Confederate Flag
_________________________________________________________________
“…..Richmond, August 27,1861.
Gen. G. T. Beauregard,
Fairfax Court house, Virginia:
Dear General, I received your letter concerning the flag yesterday, and cordially concur in all that you say. Although I was chairman of the ‘Flag Committee,’ who reported the present flag, it was not my individual choice. I urged upon the committee a flag of this sort.
[Design sketched.]
This is very rough, the proportions are bad.
[Design of Confederate battle-flag as it is.]
This was my favorite. The three colors of red, white, and blue were preserved in it. It avoided the religious objection about the cross (from the Jews and many Protestant sects), because it did not stand out so conspicuously as if the cross had been placed upright thus.
[Design sketched.]
Besides, in the form I proposed, the cross was more heraldic than ecclesiastical, it being the ‘saltire’ of heraldry, and significant of strength and progress (from the Latin salto, to leap). The stars ought always to be white, or argent, because they are then blazoned ‘proper’ (or natural color). Stars, too, show better on an azure field than any other. Blue stars on a white field would not be handsome or appropriate. The ‘white edge’ (as I term it) to the blue is partly a necessity to prevent what is called ‘false blazoning,’ or a solecism in heraldry, viz., blazoning color on color, or metal on metal. It would not do to put a blue cross, therefore, on a red field. Hence the white, being metal argent, is put on the red, and the blue put on the white. The introduction of white between the blue and red, adds also much to the brilliancy of the colors, and brings them out in strong relief.
But I am boring you with my pet hobby in the matter of the flag. I wish sincerely that Congress would change the present one. Your reasons are conclusive in my mind. But I fear it is just as hard now as it was at Montgomery to tear people away entirely from the desire to appropriate some reminiscence of the ‘old flag.’ We are now so close to the end of the session that even if we could command votes (upon a fair hearing), I greatly fear we cannot get’ such hearing. Some think the provisional Congress ought to leave the matter to the permanent. This might, then, be but a provisional flag. Yet, as you truly say, after a few more victories, ‘association’ will come to the aid of the present flag, and then it will be more difficult than ever to effect a change. I fear nothing can be done; but I will try. I will, as soon as I can, urge the matter of the badges. The President is too sick to be seen at present by any one.
Very respectfully yours,
Wm. Porcher Miles….”
Transcribed by T. Lloyd Benson, Department of History, Furman University, from Peleg D. Harrison, The Stars and Stripes and other American Flags (Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1908), Pgs 337-38
_______________________________________________________________
“In the month of April, [1863], there was some question in the Confederate Congress about changing the form and arrangement of their flag, and in reference to it, Beauregard, on the 24th of April, wrote to a friend: ‘Why change our battle-flag, consecrated by the best blood of our country on so many battlefields? A good design for the national flag would be the present battle-flag as Union Jack, and the rest all white or all blue.’ This idea was adopted by Congress, on the 1st of May, and thenceforth the Confederate flag was a white field,—-the length double the width, with the union to be a square of two-thirds the width of the flag, having the ground red, thereon a broad saltire of blue, bordered with white, and emblazoned white mullets or five-pointed stars, corresponding in number to the Confederate States.”
-William Parker Snow, Southern Generals: Who they are, and what they have done (1865), p.246.

They oughta get rich man to vote like that singing
Song song of the south
Sweet potato pie, and i shut my mouth
Gone gone with the wind
There aint no body looking back again

March On Montgomery, Chris' Hot Dogs, Hank Williams & Alabama BBQ
This full time RV living on the road in a vintage GMC motorhome video is loaded. Today was a busy day as we met up with two sets of subscribers in Montgomery, AL. First of we got picked up and given a tour of Mongomery by the Portable Preppers.
On this tour we started out cruising into downtown where we saw the historical church that Martin Luther King ministered at. Right in front of the church was the very road that the Montgomery Civil Rights March on the capitol took place. Once we wrapped up at the MLK church, we drove by the wall mural painting commemorating the Civil Rights March, on our way to the Rosa Parks Museum where you are able to garner some information on her story and part in the Civil Rights Movement. All this touring around made us hungry and thirsty, so we headed over to a Mongomery, Alabama icon to eat.
This iconic restaurant was called Chris' Hot Dogs, which has been serving citizens, visitors and tourists since 1917. While there we gotto chat with one of the owners about the folks we had been served there prior to ordering our food.
I ordered the Hotdog and Hamburger combo and especially enjoyed the chili cheese dogs. If your are ever in Montgomery you gotta check this tourism icon. After eating we did more touring around the historic parts of Montgomery before heading for the areas biggest tourist attraction, which is the grave site of Hank Williams.
Once we were done being tourists we headed back to the GMC motorhome at the Montgomery South RV Park for some RV living chatter. Once the Portable Preppers headed off we met up with Jim the owner of the Montgomery South RV Park who goes by 48BusMan on YouTube.
The two of us and Jim went over to Dreamland Barbacue to get introduced to authentic Alabama BBQ. Check out tomorrows vlog to find out my conclusions on Alabama BBQ Barbacue VS Texas Barbaque VS Kansas City BBQ.

GOOD MORNING AMERICA'S HOMEPAGE:
ANTIETAM NATIONAL CEMETERY - The History Guy
In 1864, State Senator Lewis P. Firey introduced to the Maryland Senate a plan to establish a state, or national, cemetery for the men who died in the Maryland Campaign of 1862. On March 23, 1865, the state established a burial site by purchasing 11¼ acres for $1,161.75.
The original Cemetery Commission's plan allowed for burial of soldiers from both sides. However, the rancor and bitterness over the recently completed conflict and the devastated South's inability to raise funds to join in such a venture persuaded Maryland to recant. Consequently, only Union dead are interred here. Confederate remains were re-interred in Washington Confederate Cemetery in Hagerstown, Maryland; Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Frederick, Maryland; and Elmwood Cemetery in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. Approximately 2,800 Southerners are buried in these three cemeteries, over 60% of whom are unknown.
In an effort to locate grave sites and identify the occupants, no one was of more value than two area men: Aaron Good and Joseph Gill. In the days, months, and years following the battle, these men freely gave of their time and gathered a large number of names and burial locations. The valuable service provided by these men cannot be overstated. The dead were identified by letters, receipts, diaries, photographs, marks on belts or cartridge boxes, and by interviewing relatives and survivors. Contributions totaling over $70,000 were submitted from 18 Northern states to the administrators of the Antietam National Cemetery Board. With a workforce consisting primarily of honorably discharged soldiers, the cemetery was completed by September 1867.
On September 17, 1867, on the fifth anniversary of the battle, the cemetery was ready for the dedication ceremonies. The ceremony was important enough to bring President Andrew Johnson and other dignitaries. President Johnson proclaimed, When we look on yon battlefield, I think of the brave men who fell in the fierce struggle of battle, and who sleep silent in their graves. Yes, many of them sleep in silence and peace within this beautiful enclosure after the earnest conflict has ceased.

White Supremacist Violence - An Origins Top Ten
Written and narrated by Jessica Viñas-Nelson.
In the wake of Donald Trump’s failure to immediately condemn the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis following the events in Charlottesville, VA by condemning violence “on both sides,” he repeated a long history of blaming others for acts of terror perpetrated by white supremacists. To put Charlottesville in context, in this video we'll review the history of white supremacist violence in the United States.

Echoes of the Past: Remembering the Civil War
In 2011 the United States began a four-year commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. In tribute to the conflict that, in the words of Abraham Lincoln, gave America a new birth of freedom, we have designed a one-of-a-kind voyage to cities and sites that will resonate with all students of the Civil War. We will sail into Charleston Harbor, where the war began with the bombardment of Fort Sumter. We will explore Savannah, a city so beautiful that President Lincoln would not permit General Sherman to burn it. And we will call at Petersburg, site of a 10-month-long siege in 1864-1865, and Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy and renowned today for its monuments to Confederate heroes.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
During the American Civil War, Arkansas was a Confederate state, though it had initially voted to remain in the Union. Following the capture of Fort Sumter in April 1861, Abraham Lincoln called for troops from every Union state to put down the rebellion, and Arkansas and several other states seceded. For the rest of the war, Arkansas played a major role in controlling the vital Mississippi River and neighboring states, including Tennessee and Missouri.
It raised 48 infantry regiments, 20 artillery batteries, and over 20 cavalry regiments for the Confederacy, mostly serving in the Western Theater, though the 3d Arkansas Infantry Regiment served with distinction in the Army of Northern Virginia. Major General Patrick Cleburne was the state's most notable military leader. The state also raised four infantry regiments, four cavalry regiments and one artillery battery for the Union. Finally there were six infantry regiments and one artillery battery of United States Colored Troops raised in Arkansas.
Numerous skirmishes as well as several significant battles were fought in Arkansas, including the Battle of Pea Ridge in March 1862, a decisive one for the Trans-Mississippi Theater which ensured Union control of northern Arkansas. The state capitol at Little Rock was captured in 1863. By the end of the war, programs such as the draft, high taxes, and martial law had led to a decline in enthusiasm for the Confederate cause. Arkansas was officially readmitted to the Union in 1868.
