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 […]

Dr. Robert L. Dabney, A Defense of Virginia and the South History revisionists have long insisted that the true cause of the War Between the States was the allegedly immoral system of Southern slavery. To the contrary, Dr. Dabney shows from Scripture that slavery, as practiced in the South, was not inherently wicked, as claimed […]
In the Works: The Racism and Historical Ignorance of Thabiti Anyabwile & Doug Wilson
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 […]
The Last Waltz and the Need for a Good Whuppin’
posted by Joel Taylor
For those whose minds have not been polluted by government run, public education and brainwashed by the long, tireless, continued effort of those still attempting to reconstruct the South, it’s people – and the truth of American history, I hope you will appreciate what I’m about to say. There are few modern words that describe […]
Where is the Evil in Slavery?
posted by Joel Taylor
There continues to be much discussion across the Christian blogosphere (and I must add, pandering) regarding slavery, both biblical and in reference to the war between the states. While the many voices continue to bash both the South and any concept of slavery as anti-gospel and evil, I have to wonder if they truly know […]
Honk if You Love Slavery

What I find so ironic about the video clip below is that blacks claim they and their ancestors hate slavery. And yet, people – both black and white – the nation over will be flocking to the polls to vote for Obama, again, in order to be just that, enslaved. They’ll vote for Obama, continue […]

Did you know that when ‘the war’ started, the largest plantation in Charleston, SC, was owned by a free black man – who owned 200 slaves? Here’s a 7 minute Documentary featuring Nelson W.

R.L. Dabney: A Defense of Virginia & The South
posted by Joel Taylor
History revisionists have long insisted that the true cause of the War Between the States was the allegedly immoral system of Southern slavery. To the contrary, Dr. Dabney shows from Scripture that slavery, as practiced in the South, was not inherently wicked, as claimed by the Northern Abolitionists, but was recognized and regulated by God’s […]
Six Myths About Abraham Lincoln
posted by Joel Taylor
There is a good reason why the Lincoln legend has taken on such mythical proportions: Much of what Americans think they know about Abraham Lincoln is in fact a myth. Let’s consider a few of the more prominent ones. Myth #1: Lincoln invaded the South to free the slaves. Ending slavery and racial injustice is […]
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 […]
John MacArthur: Slaves for Christ (Sermon)
posted by Joel Taylor
From John MacArthur: “We’re going to turn to a subject in the New Testament that as I think about it is largely ignored and overlooked. And I’ve been made aware of that in recent months. It was not too many months ago that I was flying on one of those jumbo jets from Los Angeles […]
The Hind Tit
posted by Joel Taylor
Andrew Nelson Lytle’s essay “The Hind Tit” is quite possibly the finest essay on the American condition I have ever read, and I knew someday 5ptsalt.com would share it with the rest of the world. If you love American history – and even if you don’t – you will (I take that back, you may) […]
The Conversion Of John Jasper
posted by Joel Taylor
John Jasper was born a slave on a Virginia plantation on July 4, 1812, and spent his youth in a wayward manner. But on July 25, 1839 he had a thrilling conversion to the Lord Jesus Christ in his master’s tobacco house in Richmond. Sam Hargrove, his kind master, became Jasper’s most ardent earthly encourager […]
