ATLANTA NEWS April 26, 1903
THE SOUTH INAUGURATED ,SUSTAINED AND WON THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR. SOUTHERN 
BRAINS WROUGHT OUT OUR SCHEME OF GOVERNMENT- THE MOST PERFECT SINCE THE WORLD 
BEGAN.
THE SOUTH WRESTED FROM MEXICO THE GREAT EMPIRE THAT IS NOW OUR WEST.AND IN THE 
GREAT WAR BETWEEN THE STATES THE SOUTH FOUGHT UNDER A WARRANT OF THE 
CONSTITUTION AND FOR PRINCIPLES GUARANTEED BY THAT PACT. YET, THANKS TO THE 
DISTORTED CHRONICLES WHICH HAVE BEEN GIVEN VOGUE,THESE FACTS HAVE BEEN SO 
DEEPLY BURIED THAT THEY NOT ONLY ARE UNKNOWN TO A LARGE NUMBER OF THE PEOPLE 
OF THIS NATION ,BUT FOR A TIME WILL BE DENOUNCED BY MANY AS FICTION WHEN 
PRESENTED.
BECAUSE OF THE SPUR OF PRIDE AND PATRIOTISM,THE TRUTH AS IT SHOULD BE TAUGHT 
TO THE YOUTH OF THIS SECTION. AND BECAUSE IN COMMON JUSTICE TO THE ACTORS OF 
THE DRAMA,THEIR PART SHOULD BE FULLY EXPLAINED,THE LONG FICTION WIPED OUT,AND 
THE HIDDEN FACTS SUBSTITUTED.
THE BLOODY STRUGLE OF THE GREAT WAR BETWEEN THE STATES WAS FOUGHT TO DETERMINE 
THE QUESTION OF STATES RIGHTS AND THE RIGHT OF SECESSION.IT IS OFTEN TAUGHT 
THAT THE NORTH FOUGHT THE CONFLICT FOR THE PURPOSE OF ABOLISHING 
SLAVERY,SUPPOSE THAT THE EFFORT TO COVER THE TRUTH WAS ENTIRELY SUCCESSFUL -
SUPPOSE THAT A HUNDRED YEARS HENCE EVERYBODY BELIEVED THE LATTER AND KNEW 
NOTHING OF THE FORMER-HOW LIABLE THE NATION WOULD BE TO PLUNGE INTO THE OLD 
SECESSION CONTROVERSY AGAIN-MAYHAPS INTO ANOTHER WAR.
JUSTICE TO OURSELVES.JUSTICE TO OUR FATHERS .AND JUSTICE TO THOSE WHO SHALL 
COME AFTER.
