I really enjoy reading history as well as biographies of historical figures, especially those of American history. I know, nerdy. Maybe, but there it is. I’ve also always had an especial interest in listening to others when they speak of it in support of some view they hold dear in relation to current events and […]

Thank God and Take Courage
posted by Joel Taylor
What more glorious reason for thanking God and taking courage than the prospect of the Lord bringing eternal victory by the salvation of souls.

posted by Joel Taylor
Well, a few days ago, I posted this letting you know that, Lord willing, I fully intend to address the historically inaccurate, continuously racist and pro-abolitionist flavored language that continues to dishonor the historical, godly men and leaders of the South during the War of Northern Aggression, passing along and perpetuating non-stop a solicitous, vile and intellectually […]

This year marks the Sesquicentennial of the war of northern aggression, a far more appropriate label since the term ‘civil war’ is not quite accurately descriptive enough for me, and let’s face it, there […]
Six Myths About Abraham Lincoln

Slavery Myths
posted by Joel Taylor
I was abruptly reminded this past week of the general ignorance of American history among our young people, specifically in regards to slavery in America and its relation to what those truly educated will correctly refer to as the “War of Northern Aggression.” The fact is, myths propagated by the public educational system still pervade […]

posted by Joel Taylor
Just a reminder to you as you celebrate this weekend our nation’s independence from the British: The independence you celebrate we lost in the War of Northern Aggression after President Lincoln raised an army and invaded our own country, to rape, plunder and pillage the farms, families and land of the South in order to […]
