Y’all,
I provided this comparison because it is true. Also, because our enemies have, for years, taken to comparing our noble and honourable Confederate soldiers, and the Cause for which they fought, to nazi Germany.
What I provided below should be the start of a counter-offensive, to relate just how similar to the nazi soldiers the yankees actually were. There are other sources to provide valid comparisons. We need to hit them hard, those who never miss a chance to slander and lie about our beloved Southland. Make them see the comparisons right in front of them.
Sincerely,
Jimmy L. Shirley Jr.
