I believe this:
That for whoever wins the war, amongst the spoils of victory will be the writing of history in favour of the victor. And from this will emerge the stigmas from defeat: the impugning of the losing side using stereotypes and typecasts fashioned to brand and besmirch in keeping with a convenient common perception. The lowest common denominator is too often the most expedient escape for those who refuse to think beyond the branding iron orthodoxy of "official" history.
It is an affliction of human nature that we label those of a proud and independent spirit as..."different", divisive, disruptive dissidents resistant to the establishment's order of things (does "rogue state" sound familiar?). Over time it becomes the status quo, regardless of obvious truths. It has happened in my own country to the Australian Aborigines. I feel it has happened to the Southern states of the USA
I believe that we, in the pursuit of justice - incumbent on us all - must tread the path paved with tolerance and understanding in respect of differences, whilst reserving the right to exalt our own difference as a right. That every culture and it's heritage be afforded the dignity of respect; that attention to unbiased truth be a distinction in this honouring. That non-conformity be appreciated for it's vital contribution to the whole.
I believe that the mistakes of the past the world over, the real and the spurious - with lessons learned - be consigned to the history books lest today they blind us to our own bigotry, to stereotype, and steer us from one's duty to embrace our neighbours in the spirit of brotherhood. That we respect cultural sovereignty; that autonomy be defended as we do a freedom, in trust for the individual and the collective, be they from the east, west, The North...or The South.
This video was not made blind to the injustices of slavery. Nor was it made to be arbitrarily critical of the now United States of America, however, from discussions and research I am convinced that slavery was not the primary catalyst for Lincoln's prosecution of the American Civil War. In time, slavery would have been abolished everywhere. As with every war that has ever been fought the real reason was geo-political and economic in nature. African American emanicipation was a secondary consideration, though a powerful rallying cry for the masses.
I believe that the Southern states that would go on to form the Confederacy were legally and morally within their rights to secede from the Union, thus forming the CSA, in spite of the Union's assertion of it being a rebellion.
A little known fact is that several European states had agreed in principle to recognize the CSA and that France, and Great Britain in particular, had considered joining the war on the side of the Confederacy. In essence, what was at stake was a people's right to determine their own future and independent voice. Conclusively, the Union invaded another legally declared nation on it's very own soil.
It is history now, and the USA is strong, but history has always been riddled with hidden twists and turns.
The South today is a vibrant community of states bound together by a common culture, a commonwealth-sentiment born of monumental struggle and the deaths of 300,000 of their brethren. Heritage for the South is the lifeblood that surges through the veins of the people. Identity is not a gift but a birthright both as an individual and as part of a greater whole even within a much greater whole. It is every Southerner's right to proclaim this proudly. It is every one else's responsibility to ackowledge this as they would expect their own heritage and identity to be respected. The hundreds of thousands of fallen must never be forgotten for what they fought for.
In a fragmented world of tribalism and local hatreds it is vital that we accept eachother's rights to heritage integrity and selfdom, free from the mindless barbs of prejudices passed on through the years by the misguided and the blissfully ignorant. We owe it to the South. We owe it to ourselves.
This video is a tribute to a people with a unique identity, who's forefathers - men and women of different creeds and races - fought with immense courage in the face of overwhelming odds to preserve their way of life. Out-numbered, out-gunned, with vastly inferior resources in terms of raw materials, supplies, munitions, available man-power and financial resources and subject to crippling blockades they fought for five years with legendary valour, sometimes with nothing but rocks... ROCKS to hurl at the enemy. They never once took a backward step.
And at one stage they had almost won.
