It was Jefferson Davis who said “The principle for which we contend is bound to reassert it’s self, though it may be at another time and in another form.” Is this what we're seeing with the Texas Vs. the Federal government right now concerning the border crisis? I think so.

Modern historians do their best to disparage heroes like Stonewall Jackson--as they do with all Confederate History. This should not be the case. Jackson may have had his quirks but according to Robert E. Lee he was a valuable and successful piece of the Army of Northern Virginia. We honor his legacy. Also included in this episode is a brief historical story you may have never heard.

Modern historians say The Lost Cause is nothing but a myth surrounded by half-truths and lies, but is that truly the case? In this episode Matt outlines the current definition of "the lost cause" and how it's interpreted today. Also featured is an 1863 historical story from a famed abolitionist, whose admiration of Stonewall Jackson will make you question today's narrative about our Christian Confederate heroes.
