Warriors of Honor (Win a Free copy!)

I recently bought a DVD titled Warriors of Honor, from New Liberty Videos. This is clearly one of the most important resources available to Southerners wanting to learn about their heritage and wanting to share that heritage with others. It is a valuable resource for parents teaching their children about our true history from a Christian perspective.

The video follows the lives of Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson from their early days, through the war, and (for Lee) the years following the war. There is a very strong emphasis on the role that their Christianity had in their lives – and how that influenced others. It is truly inspiring – not only from a Southern perspective, but from the wider and more important Christian perspective. This is not just for Southerners, but has broad appeal for any Christian.

Here is the opening narration from the video:

When we speak of the war between The North and The South, we are not speaking of different directions but rather of two different cultures. One of the few things they had in common was the same language, and even that was spoken with different dialects. By 1861, Southerners had developed a philosophy of independence and individual freedom and were relatively free from governmental restraint. At the same time, the populous North embraced the notion of a strong central government, which resulted in its citizens giving up a large measure of individuality. The strained attempts at holding together two cultures so diametrically opposed resulted in a disastrous war. President Jefferson Davis predicted that if The South lost the war, The North would rewrite history in its favor, and today, virtually every school system in The South teaches its students from American history books produced in the North by Northern authors. A nation that is ignorant of its past is a nation that is ripe for deception and manipulation. Therefore, it is not what happened, but rather what people believe happened which determines the present actions of a nation.

The production value is as high as any professionally produced documentary you might find anywhere. This is something you really should buy rather than just watch on YouTube, since it is meant to be shared with others. Do you want to really do something to promote our Southern heritage? Consider buying several copies of Warriors of Honor and donating them to your church library and to your local public library. Invite friends and relatives over for an evening to watch it with them. They will no longer wonder about your motivation for displaying the Confederate flag – they will understand that you have chosen to align yourself with that which represents the ideals of what is good, what is just, what is right, and what is Godly.

Win a Free Copy of Warriors of Honor

New Liberty Videos has graciously provided us with a copy of the Warriors of Honor DVD to be given away in a random drawing here on Confederate Colonel.

Here is how it will work:

1. During the month of September, post a comment on any article that was posted during the month of September. The comment must be at least marginally relevant and meaningful – writing “I want to win the DVD” or something like that gets your comment deleted. We are not about emptiness and fluff here at Confederate Colonel. Comments that attack the principles and objectives of the Confederate Colonel project will be disqualified (but not deleted).
2. You can post on any and all of the articles, but if you post more than once on a given article, only the first post will count.
3. I will assign consecutive numbers to each article posted in September, and then use random.org to select a number within that range. I will then do the same for all comments on that article.
4. If the person whose comment is selected has already commented on that particular article, then I will select the previous comment as the winner. If my own name gets selected, the winner will be the comment immediately before mine. If there are no comments on the selected post, then the video will be donated to our church library.
5. The selection results will be posted on or about October 1. The winner will be contacted through the email address on your comment and the DVD will be mailed to you. The selection of the winner will be entirely my decision.
6. Bottom line – the more comments (meaningful comments) you post, the better your chance to win.

The DVD includes three “bonus” videos – one on slavery, one on the story of Sam Davis, and one about the Palmyra massacre. The slavery video shows the history of slavery and points out that Whites were often captured and sold as slaves – in fact, the word “slavery” itself came from the capturing of Slavic people (Whites). Sam Davis was a 21-year old Confederate captured by the Yankees and accused of spying. A captured spy is subject to execution rather than imprisonment as a regular soldier would be. At the time of his capture, he was in Confederate uniform, which meant that he was not operating as a spy. Every single Yankee officer and soldier involved in his capture testified that he was in uniform, but his mock trial found him guilty of espionage and sentenced him to hang – unless he turned in his compatriots. His story is truly an inspiration. The Palmyra massacre was the murder of 10 Confederate prisoners in retaliation for the abduction of a Yankee supporter – a tactic that Hitler would later emulate. Lincoln not only approved of this, he rewarded the officer in charge by promoting him to Major General.
