As George Bagby, your namesake, was considered a humorist, I’m curious as to why you chose him as your avatar?

I’m sure not one “tolerably intelligent” man listening fell for this. It would not convince me to leave “the land of [my] nativity.” It certainly shows that Lincoln’s feet were made of clay, so to speak, and indicates the fallibility of his logic in his desperate groping about to end the war. Interesting historical read. I wish we could know who was sitting in the audience. Got anything on that, Bagby?

My grandparents were born in the 1880’s in South Carolina and I can attest to the fact they were not the children of either planters or poor white trash.

Thank you. This leaves me with the question .... why is he asking permission? Why doesn't he just act? Why is he trying to explain something that he believes they cannot understand? Why does he just not act. It's the same today, and the shoe is on the wrong foot because command means to act, not to ask permission. And flowing backwards there is something amiss further back in time. Perhaps this address is to a different audience than that stated?

Thank you Mr. Bagby. I wonder what the audience thought of Pres.Lincoln's speech. Coal mining in the tropics does not sound very appealing.

Good job, George!

Bagby, do you know of any papers that delve into and deconstruct the schizophrenic tendencies of hierarchy amongst republican/democratic (in the classic sense) peoples? I noticed a trend that avowed monarchists, believers in autocracy, etc. who believe in an open and honest hierarchy are derided by republicans/democrats even thought the latter, through their very actions and associations believe and engage in hierarchies, and that these hierarchies are by necessity of their contradiction, veiled/dishonest.

An excellent reading sir I learned a lot - especially being up here in the North you can imagine what they tell us in school about such things.

3:20 - this sounds eerily familiar to the mythos that farming and produce jobs can't be filled by natural citizens because of a disdain for this kind of manual labor, and as such migrant labor must be imported to fill these kinds of positions. Sounds alot like a rich man's game to debase the working ethic of regular people and supplant the natural labor force for cheaper alternatives.

excellent

As someone said, there were good people on both sides.

"You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons."

Richard Weaver is an intellectual heavyweight.

Hey, I was wondering, what do you think about J.W Cash?

I have some disregard for types which think all which is good can be arrived at through reason, or is self-evident. Coldness, when in the way of good sentiment and good will, should be avoided. These types (a cloud of them around objectivism and rationalism) eschew faith as irrational and thus not conducive to human flourishing, when in truth faith in Christ is the font of much good will, and thus good action, and thus happiness in society.

Thank you, Mr. Bagby.

Love it. I'm gonna find this book. I'm guessing you may be selling one. Appreciate what you do

Very abstract. I find it difficult to follow. Too long-winded.

Very interesting. Thanks!

Great poem. «The best lack all conviction» - reminds me of the prevailing «negative vision» sentiment on the «DR». Depressing.

am i dumb for not getting it?

Brilliant

Wow as a Saudi this guy just explained the difference so well and precise

I have always admired Muggeridge. His prophetic voice, his sobering sense of history, and his penetrating analysis of the moribund state of the Western civilization, have awakened in me both the sense of appreciation of what has been lost and what is at stake. A truly remarkable man, a great journalist and a good Christian.

Reach to Castalia Library to get some leather volumes of your obscure older books published.

Off topic but I love these red/orange brick buildings.

Was that last part sardonically referring to the Yankee/Northern propaganda of the current era, or a genuine sentiment of the author?

Excellent! Thank you.

It's sad that the descendant of Lee is a race communist and the descendant of Grant is a homosexual vampire erotica author. It is very indicative of what America is today though.

Always of great interest. Thanks.

Why is there no link to the original paper?

Good job, George

Ok old masonic Sherman never made it into the city we had already burned every bridge and put a nice blaze too all other things we didn't want anyone getting hold of.History books are as fake as what they claimed that war was over.

A blast from the past that thrills like crisp cold mountain air.

Thank you Mr Bagby I appreciate your time and generosity. You carry many small particulars and important remembrances that precipitate clarity. Some of my own thoughts: - during the period of slavery in the South the psyches of white and black had already begun to integrate. - Lincoln's emancipation was "keeping up with the Joneses" in Europe, but which actually represented a cooling of the European spirit. - statements of "anticipation" of violence may in fact be either an actual hope of violence, or incitement, or a projection by people who do not feel they have the courage to act; because they no longer live like Caesar. - North/South = Town/Country = Mind/Body - It takes a very long time to understand other people ... mostly there is no understanding and instead a false frenetic activity i.e. Progress. - America is not a country that has reached fusion, it is very different from Europe. - Hamiliton's ideas were correct - often what is correct is left to the very end which says something about human psychology - it is correct because anything else means more or less losing everything - each people represents a unique tree that needs preservation and boundaries. - In the case of America with its expansive land, it hard to act as a group. Therefore importing European culture should have been actualized at a time when the population was European. - the only thing that counts is the Prime Symbol (Spengler) ... if it is aloft all things unfold, if it is lost then only entropy unfolds ... but this relies on the fusion or integrity of the kernel.

Was repatriation/colonization always a pipe dream? It seems like before abolition became a radical activist concern, American statesmen favored the eventuall repatriation of the black slave population, but gradually this became less and less considered, especially considering the eventual fate of Liberia. The British did not settle wild lands with dependent serfs but with their outlaws and dissidents. The serfs could be suppressed or appeased at home, but the troublemakers could not.

Thank you, Mr. Bagby. I ain’t southern but I am Texan and I love these kind of readings.

Hello. I wanted to ask you some historical things : I was thinking that after the American emancipation it must have been a big shock for Europeans to suddenly live in a society that did not look like Europe .... and that they must have reacted strongly to it. That is the first thing. The second is I don't know much about history but what was the actual reason for that emancipation ? It seems quite a strange thing to do ? Was it done by utopians, by protestants - people wishing to prove a point ? Was it done in order to destroy somebody ? Or for commerce reasons ? Was there a discussion of giving the former slaves their own land ? If you have any recommended sources I would be grateful.

the more things change the more they stay the same, huh?

R. M. Weaver readings are my fave, appreciated.
