16th Annual Confederate Heritage Conference
May 2006
Well, another year has come and gone, and another great conference has passed. As always, the attendees were graced with some great lectures from speakers John Chodes, John Dwyer and Steve Wilkins. Lectures tapes and CDs are available through Apologia Book Shoppe, and you can download and hear the various lectures today by clicking the links below. Lectures includes:
John Dwyer
-
- Did the U.S. government's program for the South following the War Between the States constitute an attempt at "Reconstruction or Deconstruction?" Dwyer, examining the question in light of the Constitution, presenting some jaw-dropping accounts.
-
-
Stand Watie was a Cherokee Chief, the only American Indian to reach the rank of general during the war, and the last Confederate general to surrender. Yet, he and the Confederate Indians constitute one of the most overlooked, yet valorous groups to participate in the War Between the States. This fascinating saga chronicles their adventures from before the Trail of Tears through the war and Reconstruction.
John Chodes
- The Union League
- Pulling excerpts and factoids from his previously written booklet entitled The Union League: Washington’s Klan, Mr. Chodes examines how the Federal government’s agency, the Union League, has equaled or surpassed the Ku Klux Klan in brutality toward Southern freedmen.
-
-
The Paradox of Jabez Curry: From Defender of State Sovereignty to Advocate of Federalized Schools" is the title of a lengthy writing and possible book from Mr. Chodes.
Jabez Lamar Monroe Curry was one of the great political figures in the South, a passionate and articulate advocate for the tenets of state sovereignty, limited government, and strict construction of the Constitution. He was a notable advocate for the principles of John C. Calhoun before the War, but after it he gained his most significant prominence as one of the most successful advocates of extending federally funded education to children in the defeated South.
Rev. Steve Wilkins
- R.L. Dabney & the Anti-Revoltuionary Spirit
- Pastor Wilkins give us a brief look at the life of the great Southern Presbyterian Robert Lewis Dabney, giving special attention to his opposition to the revolutionary trends he saw coming in the 19th century (Women's Rights, Public Schools, the impotence of the conservative movement to hinder radicalism, etc.).
