The South Was Right!

A New Edition for the 21st Century

De: James Ronald Kennedy, Walter Donald Kennedy

Narrado por: George Bagby

In 1991, the Kennedy brothers first published The South Was Right!, launching the modern movement of Southern awareness and activism. To date, the first and second edition of this book have sold more than 135,000 copies!

Not for the faint of heart, The South Was Right! is an authoritative and well-documented study of the mythology behind “Civil War” history and its ongoing effects.

In their new edition for a 21st-century audience, the Kennedys have updated their message to provide guidance for the harsh conditions against liberty and even the survival of the South that face us in this time.

If you love the South, you need this book!

Passages from the new edition:

“The central theme of this book is that the Northern majority used unconstitutional, illegal, and immoral methods to change the Original Constitutional Republic of Sovereign States into a centralized, supreme, federal government that is now (2020) controlled by an evil leftist shadow government.

“Through aggressive war and post-war unconstitutional political acts, the Yankee Empire changed the nature of the government from a voluntary compact among sovereign states to an empire established by the Northern majority via the conquest of the numerical minority of the South.

“After Reconstruction the South accepted its secondary place in the newly created Yankee Empire in exchange for nominal control of the puppet governments foisted upon the Southern States and agreed not to secede from the newly created 'indivisible' nation. The Yankee Empire broke the bargain! The South is no longer 'patriotically' required to remain loyal to the Yankee Empire....

“If Southerners continue to remain pacified subjects of a supreme federal government that is actively engaged in anti-South, cultural genocide, then the South will turn into another Detroit, Chicago, Zimbabwe or Venezuela...."

Enjoyable and full of facts

Awesome read and full of facts that every American should know. Either consent of the governed means something or it does not.

Stick to the history

When they discuss the history of the war and reconstruction, it is a very informative book and has made me look at the war with new eyes. I still will never fly the confederate flag, even as a southerner, due to its later adoption by the KKK.

When they discuss modern events, the idea that if the south had succeeded that there would be no homosexuals in the south or liberals, i separate the two because there are conservative gays, was almost enough for me to stop listening, I did skip ahead.

If you are going to try and teach history from the southern perspective, and I do think that both sides are important when it comes to these things, stick to the history and don’t try to put your own political views and beliefs in the way.

Finally A Southern Perspective

I've heard all my life the northern montra of slavery slavery slavery!!! But growing up in Alabama I was taught history by Mr Jones at Huffman High school. A black man who told me the war was about money...not slavery. He was right and continues to be right.
The first war for southern independence was fought by brave men of any color to defend their homes from northern aggressors. (it's the 1st one bc another one is surely coming). The authors gave historical facts and figures based in the archives of the US and other sources. Well documented and historically accurate. It's a good listen and I wish others would move past their prejudices and give it a fair listen. I wish I were still in school and could write a paper on it.
Listen ... learn... and enjoy!

Thank You Kennedy Brothers

This book is, in my estimation, the first accurate reporting of the southern states war for independence. It shows the true nature of Abraham Lincoln, who was NOT the compassionate savior of Southern slaves; the atrocities against the southern states permitted by him; and the ongoing atrocities of today. Thank you for pointing out to the average American the horrible treatment of the southern states, which has resulted in the neo-Marxist, Socialist government that we have today.
Sincerely,

True Facts

Was a little long, but important for those who don’t already know this! I would rather have heard it read by someone with a more Southern accent.
