Son of Confederate Veterans

I am directly descended from fifteen Confederate veterans of the War from Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia. My Georgia and South Carolina ancestors experienced the agony and utter destruction of Major General Sherman upon our farm and women. My G3-Grandfather Benjamin F. Nelson, 1stSgt (and later 2ndLt) of Company D, 22nd Alabama won the Southern Cross of Honor at the Battle of Murfreesboro. I owe it to them to help get the story straight for posterity. By that I mean that it is important here, in Wiki, to correctly and succinctly capture and explain Civil War history with high-quality articles. History must record deeds accurately as they were, and not as re-lived through the fantasies of the dishonorable few among the victors. May God bless our country and its future.

Jackson's Methodology

Is perfectly alive and well in the USMC today, down to the prescribed method of march. My USMC Valley Campaigns text, old and worn, is still the best reading on the war in print, and surpasses the Small Wars Manual for merit of content. I hope the tradition of marching Jackson's end-run on Hooker will never pass from the hallowed halls of The Basic School, and that "Wicked Men" may never enter into our beloved Corps, in whom the valor and spirit of our Southern Men lives on.

Created edit

These are pages which I created and started edit

What drew me in to creating pages on Wiki was the lack of articles documenting Confederate military history. I had used Wiki to look up some information on a battle, and began noticing the usual over-coverage of all things "Union" as well as stark revisionist write ups, which made Southerners of that day sound like disgruntled warmongerers. Then I noticed that about 95% of the contributing editors were "interested" in Union topics and locations. Thus, to bring a fair and balanced view, Southern articles needed to be written. Thus you will see that I neither create nor edit Northern articles, as it is totally unnecessary.

Navigation bars I've created edit

Lo and behold, in the course of creating and editing wiki articles, the need for some good navigation bars became obvious. Thus I created these:

{{Frederick County, Virginia in the American Civil War}}

{{Expeditionary Raids of the CSS Alabama}}

{{Gray Ghost}}

{{Stonewall}}

Lists I've created edit

Occasionally, I've come across a need to have a good list of items, and found that list lacking. Thus the lists I ginned up:
