This is a collection of war letters written by teenagers George and Walter Battle during their service in Company F, 4th North Carolina Regiment, CSA. Underage, yet full of vitality and idealism, these boys were not just fighting for their country; they were fighting to protect their family's name. Two young brothers had gone off to war as mere boys. Their experiences quickly hardened and molded them into veterans of the greatest army ever to march on American soil. -

Marse Bradford Harrison, of St. Michaels, MD, gave 4 year old Eliza Ann Benson to his new born daughter, Braddie, in 1841. Eliza would be a slave to her infant owner in Harrison’s way of thinking. But a friendship began & a promise was made. Eliza stayed with Braddie through Braddie’s married life, which included the War Between the States & its aftermath; and when Braddie & her husband died leaving a family full of children & no one to rear them, there was one more promise that Eliza wanted to keep. Eliza’s down-home philosophy, loyalty, fortitude and love positively impacted Miss Braddie & 3 generations thereafter. -

The latest book from the Kennedy brothers. Jefferson Davis was a proponent of the high road to emancipation. He looked to the day in which slaves would be prepared to live within and participate in a democratic society. He did more than advocate for the high road to emancipation - as this book documents, he practiced his belief in the ultimate emancipation of Southern slaves. Many of his former slaves left for posterity their testimony about their former master - a master who prepared them for freedom as self-sustaining members of society. The North's ruling elites justified their invasion, conquest, and occupation of the Confederate States of America by declaring that the South was fighting to preserve slavery and that secession was treason. After the unfortunate end of the War for Southern Independence, the United States arrested Jefferson Davis on charges of treason. Davis demanded a trial, yet the United States never brought Davis to trial - why? Were they afraid they would lose in court? Davis, and through him the South, was unjustly tried in the court of public opinion - a court controlled by the North's ruling elites. This book gives the defense that Davis and the South never had.
