    Hi Mr Harrelson, I just discovered your channel through a pipe video on another channel. And I must say you really have helped me at very important time in my life. I’m 31 and I’m from Australia. I was raised in a family that were quite devout Jehovah’s Witnesses and have always struggled with the values that my parents had tried to instil in me. After waking up from a nightmare last night about my dad, feeling very troubled as I awoke. And since my father passed away in 2017 and it just seems like time has been running away by itself since then and so many things have changed. I wonder what he would have thought of the current circumstances we all find ourselves in today with the state of peoples attitudes and way of thinking about things now and whether he could relate at all to this new modern life we find ourselves in with the constant technology and divisive nature of politics and religions these days not to say he didn’t experience his own version of that during his times. I just think back on our times together and really cherish the memories I can recall. Your videos really strike a chord with me, no pun intended. But I just wanted to say thank you for your wisdom you share on this channel and I think you really have some special insights and candour which is hard to find in this modern life that I appreciate very much. So thank you for these videos you make because they are helping through a bit of a challenging period in my life.

    To understand the attitude of post Civil-War America, when Gen. Robert E. Lee returned to his home, he was dismayed that the Union had seized his home and property, and had buried Union soldiers there. He and his family left, and his property was transferred over. His property now sits at the heart of Arlington National Cemetery. History is written by the victor.

    I’m at a loss. So many issues: 1. Regarding Kentucky, not a single Kentuckian ever cast a vote for Davis. The real question is why did they ever have a statute of him in the first place? 2. Previous service to the country does not mitigate treason. And however you try to rationalize it, it was treason and sedition against the United States of America. 3. It is a failing of quasi-academic conservatism that they try to drag historical paradigms into modern political thought. They are contextually and practically incompatible. 4. Conservative academics NEED to find a way to talk about the Civil War without minimizing or justifying slavery as a historically acceptable institution. It wasn’t. Point blank, it wasn’t. Lincoln was nearly a failure because of his moral ambiguity towards slavery. Davis was failure from start to finish.

    My dear Doctor Harrelson, You are a "Jacob's Well"; I dropped my bucket in and you came up; how very wonderful. I am convinced after study and some prayer that the salvation of my country will come from out of the South; the Catholic Church will be a part of that; Bishop Strickland is the first martyr example; there are more to come. You, Shelby Foote, and the Abbeyville Institute have convince me that we have been lied to about the South, the Civil War, as well as a good many other things. Do NOT stop what you are doing; at last I know I am NOT alone.

    The CSA Constitution and Alexander Stephens beg to differ on Race not being the "Cornerstone" of the Confederacy and the Jim Crow South. To a lesser extent,, and arguably, I also include the Modern American South and even the US more broadly. Frankly Im stunned at this apologia. The CSA and up until VERY recently the "Sons and Daughters of the Confederacy" sought to PRESERVE vs defend "an agrarian lifestyle." I personally don't think one can preserve or defend the historical Southern "Agrarian Ideal" whilst credibly boasting the Ante Bellum South's "serious" gradual emancipation efforts.

    Irish racism did not classify Irish men as 2/3 of a person, nor were those suppressed Irish men bought and sold as property. Slavery is and was a detestable practice no matter the country in which it was practiced. To insinuate that somehow the American South is not to be held accountable or given a pardon because the practice crossed country and state lines is lazy at best and sinful at worst.

    I had a history professor who was a very staunch advocate for Fredrick Jackson Turner and his writings on the American Frontier. He was a social historian, pushing the racial and social constructs of history over the ideology of the rugged individualism. Hated his classes, his plan was that he would teach what he wanted, if we wanted more, we would come to office hours and ask. Twenty years since I took his class, and frankly he left more of a mark on my thinking and memory than any other. To explain the comment that I hated his classes, he expected that for each exam we would fill between 3-5 bluebooks, his exams were 5 identify type questions, and two essays which he expected full quotes and bibliography from memory. Rarely did he get that, and yes I managed once to do it, and while he hated the topic I chose (I was and still am more interested in the military history), I did argue in my essay that the American war for Independence was not a revolution but a war for Independence, and cited several books. He did encourage me to read “for cause and comrade” by McPherson and Footes Civil War Volumes, as well as Bruce Catton among others. Wrote a mid-term paper on the battle of Gettysburg, and just to throw him, I followed the Turabian Guide and put my papers thesis at the end. That was fun.

    Somehow I missed the boat and failed to pass on the privilege and responsibilities gene of land ownership to my progeny. If it was taught to me it must have been quite subtle. During adolescence I remember my mom pointing out the differences among the parents of my 20 classmates in our five hundred population agrarian community. There were those who farmed on shares and those who owned the land they farmed. Our region had an unusual transformation after WW2, when an influx of MW Yankee war veterans arrived to pursue farming after word spread that our county and those surrounding sat atop an ocean of water that could easily be pumped from the ground and inexpensively dispersed across the tabletop flat grass prairie. The Baby Boom necessitated finding ways to make a living on fewer acres than were required for a cow/calf ranch operation like my forebears had relied on. I watched the whole economic evolution from cattlemen who measured land in sections to farmers who divided land into such small parcels farming them had to be a part time pursuit. Now after seventy years the easily attained water (30%) has been used. We're transitioning back to livestock, which requires larger tracts of land to maintain the prosperity we've become accustomed too... and I'm too old for this. G_d grant me wisdom. I'd be interested in some book titles that might expose my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of the benefits of their birthright.
