THE SUFFERING AND BRAVERY of the South's children during the War are an untold story. Yankee and scallywag historians have hidden and censored stories about the sufferings, hardships, and dedication of the South's children during the War for Southern Independence. But those stories remain for those who search old journals, diaries, and original history. The author uses a fictitious Confederate veteran (Uncle Seth) to bring these almost lost stories to life. For the North, it was a war for the preservation of their empire. However, for the South, it was a struggle to protect their homes and family from the cruel invader's torch and an effort to prevent the chains of political slavery from being fastened on the South's people. The reader will find over twenty short stories all drawn from the writings of Southerners who witnessed the events. You will find history about the War unvarnished or whitewashed by Yankee propagandists masquerading as historians."Tell them [future generations] how we exhausted every honorable means to avoid the terrible arbitrament of war, asking only to be let alone, and tendering alliance, friendship, free navigation-everything reasonable and magnanimous-to obtain an amicable settlement. Tell them how, when driven to draw the sword, we fought the mercenaries of all the world until overpowered by tenfold numbers, we fell, like Leonidas and his Spartans of old, fell so heroically that our defeat was more glorious than their victory," -General R. E. Colston, CSA circa 1868
