You pick just one example of Mathis' work; he's posted hundreds.
by Miles MathisMiles Mathis is a terrible researcher. We've communicated several times. A case in point .. His genealogical research is "legendary"!
Exhibit A- His genealogical research on David Icke: Mathis tells us that Icke's ancestors were Hick's - which rhymes with Ickes - which makes Icke a member of the Hicks family!

As a Southerner, let me say I heartily approve of this thread. The damned Yankees burned my ancestor's land. No one talks about Sherman's war crimes.
The states were operating under a union of states, formally recognised as a nation, but the states still held individual power the likes of which they don't have today. Hence the "confederation" being a confederation of states against a northern "Union" of states.
Only afterwards do we see this amalgam of states operating in a fashion we currently view as a single entity in more than just name. (imo)
As a descentent of Robert E Lee, I find the war of northern agression dispiciable. Lincoln couldn’t even find a competent General. No one asks why a man like Lee would side with the South. He went to West Point like all of the other generals so he was well-versed in what the political situation was. He was a good man. Maybe he understood the parasites had taken over the north. The final insult from the north, was turning Lee’s land into a graveyard. Sounds like something the liberals would do now.Lets use this thread to research the history of the Civil War before the leftist academics purged it's history in the 1960s.
The following is a book review of Southern Scribblings by Brion T. McClanahan. I haven't read the book yet but it's probably a good start to get a better picture of what really happened back then. A primary theme is that the Southern States hated the Central Government (probably Vatican-infiltrated) that began to form in Washington, and due to their enourmous resistance, a big war was waged against the Southerners - in my view they were part of the "Old World" remnants - the Old World is defined by an absence of Central Governance and corrupt power structures.
The American History You’re Not Supposed to Know - By Thomas DiLorenzo August 7, 2020Brion McClanahan’s new book, Southern Scriblings, contains sixty scholarly and eloquently-written essays about the American history you are not supposed to know. The reason you are not supposed to know about it is America’s first cultural war that long preceded the current one and is still ongoing.That “war” began with the New England Puritans, whose philosophical descendants became the universally despised “Yankees.” These are people mostly from New England and the upper Mid-West originally who believed that they were superior to all others and therefore had a “right” to govern over them, by force if necessary. They have a mindset of what Judge Napolitano calls “libido dominandi,” or the lust to dominate. Today, Hillary Clinton would be what Clyde Wilson has called “a museum-quality specimen” of a Yankee. Yankees are a component of both political parties, but today’s Democratic party is the home of the most extreme ones, who seem to be part Yankee and part Stalinist totalitarian with their university speech codes, their “cancel culture,” their utopian plans to centrally plan all aspects of everyone’s life with their “Green New Deal,” to confiscate private wealth, communist style, with “wealth taxes,” and so on.After waging total war on the entire civilian population of the South from 1861-1865, murdering hundreds of thousands, the Yankees commenced a “holy war” against American history and especially Southern history, a major theme of Southern Scribblings. In war, the victors always write the history to portray themselves in the best light possible, no matter what the truth is. The Yankees have been doing this for more than 150 years, as McClanahan describes in essay after essay.Among the things you will learn from this book are why Hamiltonian statism has always been the enemy of American freedom and a poisonous threat to genuine, free-market capitalism. Most Americans would also be surprised to learn that, after the War to Prevent Southern Independence, there was a monumental effort at reconciliation, lasting for generations, and supported by presidents from McKinley to Bill Clinton. McClanahan calls Jimmy Carter “the last Jeffersonian president” and discusses how “Memorial Day” began as “Decoration Day” where the sacrifices of soldiers on both sides of the “Civil War” were recognized. This of course is no longer the case thanks to the stultification of America by the country’s own universities over the past generation.Prior to the 1960s “Civil War” history was much more honest and truthful than it has become ever since then. For example, everyone understood that the tariff was the main bone of contention between the Yankees of the North, who wanted a 50% (and higher) protectionist tariff, whereas the South wanted its entire country to be a free-trade zone with minimal “revenue tariffs.” Republican party newspapers even editorialized in favor of bombarding the Southern ports before the war because they understood that free trade in the South would be devastating to the Northern plutocracy.Everyone also understood that slavery had nothing to do with why Lincoln launched a military invasion of his own country because they were familiar with his own words and the 1861 war aims resolution of the U.S. Congress. That all changed in the 1960s when Leftist historians like Kenneth Stampp decided that the history of the war and reconstruction should be rewritten so as to portray the New England Yankees as angels of salvation who were willing to die by the hundreds of thousands solely for the benefit of black strangers a thousand miles away. (McClanahan points out the truth that racism and white supremacy was worse in the North than in the South in the nineteenth century, something that even Toqueville wrote about in Democracy in America).At the same time the history profession since the 1960s contrasted angelic Northern saviors to the descendants of Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, and other Southerners as the most evil and decadent human beings to ever inhabit the earth. This of course is the current politically-correct view of everyone and everything Southern in the eyes of the left-wing political elite.Southern Scribblings explains what a big, steaming pile of horse manure this all is, along with the incredible hypocrisy of “Northern self righteousness.” It has fueled the fires of “PC Lunacy,” a section of the book containing nine hard-hitting essays.You will also learn how insidious the academic history profession is with book after book having been written with false narratives about the “lost cause.” As the only group of Americans who ever seriously challenged the tyrannical impulses of the central government, Southerners must be demonized for eternity in the eyes of the Puritan/Yankee culture that lords over American academe – and much of the rest of society.The most interesting chapters to your author are the ones that dissect the Leftist and neo-conservative smearing of such Southern figures as Robert E. Lee and John C. Calhoun and their never-ending deification of Lincoln. The chapters on “the real Robert E. Lee” is worth the price of the book. Addressing the current effort by the ignoramus governor of Virginia, among others, to get the statue of Lee removed from the national Capitol building in Washington, McClanahan writes: “No one as grand as Lee . . . should be surrounded by such reptiles in Washington” anyway.Few Southerners have been as vilified as John C. Calhoun, a former secretary of war, secretary of state, vice president, senator, and representative. The real reason for this vilification has nothing to do with slavery, but with the fact that, philosophically, Calhoun was “too much” of a Jeffersonian and a champion of federalism, states’ rights, and decentralization, deadly poisons to all would-be tyrants and dictators. His Disquisition on Government is one of the greatest treatises on political philosophy ever written by an American and was a favorite of Murray Rothbard’s, who cited him in many of his writings.McClanahan discusses many of the key ideas in the Disquisition in several essays on Calhoun. After reading them you will understand the evil and dishonesty of his detractors, from neocons like Victor Davis Hanson to just about the entire academic history profession, which after all is dominated by self-described Marxists.Taken from:

There we go. I gave a basic premise to a foreigner. You narrowed it down a bit.Well not really, there was no " formal" method back then for a nation to be recognised, You either had enough muscle to protect your borders or at least allies that did or you quickly ceased to exist.
Really the whole formal recognition thing did not exist till the United nation's was formed
By the start of the civil war America had just about reach the status of being able to exist by being powerful enough to defend it's own borders rather than no one had choosen to invade them recently
. But it still wasnt a Nation in the,sense of a common identity of people who considered themselves, first and foremost " American"
Hence the southern states deciding they had more allegiance to each other than the collective whole and electing to leave .
The term Unionists, applied to the folk who wanted the union of all states to continue,. Confederate, to the confederation that wanted to go their own way
Its depicted as a civil war, which it really wasnt, in the normal use of the phrase, it was more a hostile nation had suddenly appeared and had taken great big lumps of territory which they wanted back
The whole notion that it was about slavery rather than territory, has had some artistic impression added
Miles Mathis is the best researcher when it comes to actors and homosexuals. His name probably reveals who he really is, following his own "method":

Very interesting post. I don't claim to know the absolute truth, but I tend to trust the EIR's (Executive Intelligence Review) take on things more than most, especially back in their hey-day in the 70s and 80s., publishing their notorious Dope, Inc. book (attached) which blew the lid off the international drug trade and the histories, families and agencies behind it. They explain that the secession of the South was a plot to subvert and split up the US by using the British and oligarchy-backed South. Chapter 2 goes into the history of all of this. Here is a quote:
"Control over the Order of Zion rested in the British Board of Deputies, founded in 1763 and still in action. One of the board's earliest presidents was Sir Moses Montefiore, described in contemporary accounts as "Queen Victoria's favorite Jew." (2) When Montefiore took command of the board in 1835, its dirty tricks division, the Order of Zion, was on the verge of launching the covert campaign that would lead to both the Lincoln assassination, and the founding of organized crime, so-called, in the United States. .........

Maybe it was a William Wallace moment for the south; die on your feet rather than live on your knees. Our current society seems content with a mask and matching knee pads.I think attaching out rage to most historical events, is a liberal trait, very nearly everything historical is outragiuous by modern standards, even stuff from 20 years ago.
I think a lot of history, ( if it happened at all anything like portrayed) was just an inevitability, based on events that preceded it and or the prevailing morality . or complete fluke that could have gone either way on the toss of a coin
There was only one likely out come from the confederation leaving the union and only one likely out come from the war, given the inequality between the sides. If the confederacy didnt realise that, they didnt consider it carefully enough
Premise: this is not pertaining the American Civil War but I think it is nontheless interesting.Yankees
How do we know this? Evidence?We know that the Lincoln assassination was fake
