If you are not from the South, than your opinion is irrelevent. In other words, you have no frame of reference, your a Yankee. Your like the clanging of symbols.


But don't feel bad....If not for the Grace of God, I'd be a Yankee too!

"Captain, my religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready, no matter when it may overtake me. That is the way all men should live, and then all would be equally brave"- Stonewall Jackson

Very funny . . . but kindof scary, B.J. Sortof like any film by the Coen brothers.

I am an Ulsterman/Irishman and a supporter of the Confederate States of America (currently occupied). Does my opinion count?

Daniel,
Hmmmm....I suppose! If you endorse the C.S.A and our efforts to free ourselves, then yes. But the first time I hear some sort of Yankee myth, its the bayonet for you.

Hey, I was in Texas for 20 yrs. Dabney's stomping ground even. Austin that is. Now that I've read him. He's great!! Not like the lame stuff thats out today, or as we say, he shoot's from the hip and asks questions later. (Allowed under Texas law)

As it happens I am working on an essay on why both sides fought the civil war in the war of Northern aggression.

Daniel,
Let me read it once your done. By the way, have you seen the Civil War debate between Rev. Peter Marshall & Rev. Steve Wilkins? It might be a helpful source.

I just finished reading a book entitled:

Robert Lewis Dabney: A Southern Presbyterian Life, by Sean Michael Lucas (P & R Publishing, 2005).

Dr. Lucas teaches church history at Covenant Theological Seminary.

It is a fair treatment of Dabney's strengths and weaknesses, and ends with a most interesting comparison of Dabney with Abraham Kuyper.

I recommend this book to any interested in reading and learning more about Dabney.
