Walter D Kennedy

UNTIL VERY RECENTLY, Robert E. Lee was widely considered one of the greatest Americans, admired worldwide as a major and positive historical figure. That is certified by statements of at least five 20th century American Presidents and Winston Churchill. In present Woke America, Lee is now portrayed as a "traitor" and a bad man. So claim leftists, establishment "conservatives," and even some high-ranked generals who are bureaucrats, not soldiers. With his usual knowledge and sharp reasoning, Walter Kennedy disposes of the ignorant, shallow historical claims of the "Lee Traitor," school. Americans are required to take an oath to support the Constitution, an oath which Lee conscientiously obeyed, not whatever politicians are temporarily in federal power. And the Constitution defines treason as making war against "them," the United States, of which Lincoln, not Lee, was grievously guilty.

ALTHOUGH MANY CONSERVATIVE RELIGIOUS LEADERS enthusiastically pronounce Lincoln to be a devout Christian, the evidence to the contrary is immense. The transformation of Lincoln from a secular humanist Freethinker into a faithful Christian is one of the most successful con-games in American history. From George Washington to the current President (2023), every United States President has a confirmed church affiliation, except Lincoln. The only United States Supreme Court Justice that does not have a confirmed church affiliation is Justice David Davis, appointed by Lincoln. Lincoln's lack of orthodox Christian views is fully exposed by his wife, law partner, personal secretary, bodyguard, and other close associates. Lincoln waged war as a pagan leader. A Christian leader would not have waged war upon innocent men, women, and children of the South. Lincoln was the first U. S. President with a communist in his cabinet and the only U. S. President to be praised by Karl Marx, Adolph Hitler, and Chinese Communist military leaders.

In 1866, the year after the War for Southern Independence, General Robert E. Lee reflected on the results of the war. Responding to a British historian, he wrote that he feared that the U.S. would now follow the path of all consolidated governments. It would become "aggressive abroad and despotic at home." It was as accurate a prophecy as has ever been made. "Unfortunately, for the people of the South and the world," write the Kennedys in their latest groundbreaking book, "General Lee's prediction has become our reality."The South was the first "captive nation" of the Yankee Empire. The authors show, with chapter and verse, how that empire of greed and phony moralism, after the conquest of Dixie, became continuingly "aggressive abroad," bringing the U.S. to its now imperial posture. The Kennedys' work in YANKEE EMPIRE is inspired by the history and condition of their Southern homeland, but it is stunningly "relevant" reading for anyone concerned about the dubious role of the U.S. in the world today. The Kennedys continue to be the bravest and most eloquent defenders of the South in their many books. This work ranks with their best-selling THE SOUTH WAS RIGHT and their recently published PUNISHED WITH POVERTY, as an original and compelling revision of American history.
