The South as Mere Provinces:
“In the 37th Congress [Thaddeus Stevens [of Pennsylvania] became almost a despot. He did not lead men
– he drove them, with stinging word and harsh rebuke, and with wit which cut like the lash of a whip.
"In the first year of the war, [Thaddeus] Stevens worked out his theory of the status of the Southern States,
and thereafter continually propounded it with brutal frankness. He scoffed at [Charles] Sumner’s cobweb
spinning; no “State suicide” for him. The Southern States had seceded; they were no longer in the Union and
were no longer American States. Therefore they had no color of title to any of the rights of States.
They were foreign powers; when occupied by Federal troops, they were merely conquered provinces, and
as such the United States could deal with them as is saw fit. The Southerners’ property could and should be
confiscated. They were merely territories which might or might not be admitted into the Union, as Congress
might prescribe.”
Review of the Napoleonic Grand Army in Washington:
“[In] the American experience up to 1865, nothing like the Grand Review [of
Northern armies in Washington] had been seen. The sheer size of the armies was
new, as was their concentration in a single city. Had all the men under arms at the
close of previous American wars been gathered in one place for a parade, the
assembled host would have been smaller than the one brought together at
Washington, a force that itself
only represented about 10 percent

My Fellow Compatriots
It’s always a unique pleasure to hear of heroes in your hometown or area, and this month it was
especially nice to hear of a hero within our Division.
Recently an article was sent to us from Commander James Speicher of the Major Thomas J Key
Camp #1920 in Shawnee Kansas. Its an article that appeared in the Kansas City Star on the heroic
act of one of the Key Camp members Compatriot L.J. Fanning.
Local Hero is Key Camp Member An article that appeared in the Kansas City Star addition of 15
November 2012 had the title of “Workers lift vehicle off boy, 12”.
The articles stated that a 12-year old boy had tried to cross a busy four-lane road during rush
hour traffic. Unfortunately, the boy did not make it across the road. He was hit by a minivan. The
boy rolled up onto the windshield and then fell under the vehicle where he was pinned. Enter our
hero.
Four construction workers saw the accident and rushed over to help. Seeing the boy pinned
under the van, the men knew the boy was in serious danger. Together they were able to lift the front
of the van enough that the boy could be freed, thus saving his life or at least preventing a more
serious injury. One of the men that helped lift that minivan was Key Camp member L. J. Fanning. LJ
was quoted as saying, “We kind of lifted up the front of the minivan and then told the driver to put
the vehicle in reverse”. He went on to say, “After we got him free of the vehicle, he was
unresponsive, and I thought he might be dead. But then he came to”.
Congratulations L.J. on a job well done. This is a perfect example of a member displaying the
traits of his Confederate ancestor by displaying courage and devotion to duty in a serious situation.
LJ brings great honor and distinction to the Key Camp by his life saving efforts.
This is just another instance when you never know what you can accomplish until you are put in a
situation that requires you to do the impossible. Sometimes we think standing up for our heritage is
a job that is impossible with the odds that are against us in the media and schools. But if we put our
minds to the task at hand and truly believe we can accomplish what we set out to do, It can be done.
It is sad that many times members of our division do things that are note worthy yet never are
published so that the individual can get the thanks that are deserved.
I have to say that I personally know of several compatriots that have served our country and been
injured more than once but never mentioned.
If someone in your camp or family has done something that deserves a big thank you or
congratulations, be sure to drop us a line and let us know how we can give them the recognition they
deserve.
Once again, we say thank you and congratulations to L.J. Fanning for his heroic deed and being in
the right place at the right time.
Your Humble Servant

TRIVIA FOR NOVEMBER
He often donned a red calico hunting shirt, when a battle was about to commence?
Answer
Lieutenant General Ambrose Powell Hill, Jr.
Some analysts consider Hill an example of the Peter Principle. Although he was extremely successful commanding his
famed "Light Division", he was less effective as a corps commander. Historian Larry Tagg described Hill as "always
emotional ... so high strung before battle that he had an increasing tendency to become unwell when the fighting was
about to commence." This tendency was to some extent balanced by the implied swagger and combative attitude that
he displayed. He often donned a red calico hunting shirt, which his men called his "battle shirt," when a battle was
about to commence, and the men under his command would pass the word, "Little Powell's got on his battle shirt!"
and begin to check their weapons
TRIVIA FOR DECEMBER
Name the Confederate officer whos father was a War of 1812 veteran, slaveholder, attorney, and Democratic politician
who represented Patrick County in both houses of the Virginia General Assembly, and also served one term in the
United States House of Representatives.[

Mythical and Actual Origin of the Grand Army of the
Republic:
“The legendary version of the founding of the Grand
Army of the Republic [GAR, organization of Northern
veterans after the war] goes something like this: In 1866
a gentle former Union Army surgeon, Dr. Benjamin
Franklin Stephenson, and several of his former comrades
were pining for the camaraderie of camp. Envisioning a
broad brotherhood of veterans [it was to be] suffused
with brotherly love and dedicated to the relief of fellow
veterans.
The real story is more complicated, and much more
interesting. [Stephenson] undoubtedly envisioned his new
veterans’ group as a tool to further the political
ambitions of two Illinois Republicans, General John A.
Logan and Governor Richard Oglesby. These two men,
firmly on the Radical side of the gathering storm over
Reconstruction policy, were the political movers behind
an organization which Stephenson’s professions of
benevolence and charity lent a nonpolitical veneer. [The]
new order worked effectively for the Grant-Colfax
[presidential] ticket during the campaign of 1868.
To soldier-politicians like Logan, Oglesby, and
[ambitious Republican politico] Norton P. Chipman….the
GAR was a voting machine, which they fondly hoped to
ride to political prominence. What such [a voting
machine] army could accomplish when properly drilled
was already apparent to thesepolitical officers from their
experience in marshalling the massive “soldier vote” for
Lincoln in 1864 and Grant in 1868.”
GAR Political Power and
Negro Suffrage:
“The election of 1866
showcased the GAR’s political
power. Their organization was
impressive, sponsoring reunions
and picnics for the war veterans,
complete with entertainment
soldiers’ loved – and music,
good food, and Radical oratory.
[Former Northern General John A.] Logan spoke out
loud and clear against the former Confederate States,
conquered entities subject to the necessary oversight and
restrictions imposed by the U.S. Army and Congress.
Logan vented as only he could against the rebellion,
proclaiming that he would have executed Jefferson
Davis…had he captured him at the end of the War.
Logan’s position on the rights of blacks was hardly a
popular one in the States comprising the old Northwest
Territory, including Ohio. The Negro Suffrage
amendment lost [in Ohio] by nearly 40,000 votes [and]
proved more than anything that Logan’s unpopular
[Radical] position on civil rights was an altruistic one that
he knew were a
political liability,
not only in Ohio
but also in Illinois
where overt
racism
prevailed.”
No Black Veterans in the Army of Emancipation
Grand Review:
“More surprising [in the Washington Grand Review of
the federal armies] was the exclusion
from the parade of the black Union regiments, some of
which had fought a good deal longer than the white units
on parade. A number of observers commented on their
absence, the Inquirer concluding that “by some process it
was arranged that none should be here….
They can afford to wait. Their time will yet come.”
The few blacks in the review marched as parts of “pick
and shovel” brigades or were included as comic relief.
Two large black soldiers with Sherman’s army, for
example, were displayed “riding on very small mules,
their feet nearly touching the ground.”
Captured slaves were described as “odd looking
“contrabands” dressed in all the colors that ever adorned
Joseph’s coat.” In the rear of the First Pennsylvania, one
such captive, mounted on a solitary Confederate mule,
“created much laughter, in which the President and others
joined heartily” as he was carried past the reviewing
stand.
Neither the free black nor the free black soldier was to
be the hero of this national pageant; instead, each was
relegated a secondary, rather uneasy position within it.
The exclusion of blacks from the celebration was a clear
message about the sort of Union the white [Northern]
veterans felt they had preserved.”

Since living in Arkansas Past Kansas Division commander Charles Walthall has been very busy. In addition to the VA
marker for Col. MacLean. He has also obtained a Sesquisentenial marker for the Cemetery.
* Old Richmond Cemetery Historical Marker Dedication, unveiling an ACWSC historical marker sponsored by the Little
River County Historical Society, will be held at Old Richmond Cemetery in Ashdown on December 2;
Richmond is where Gen. Price turned over command of the Army of Missouri after the Raid of 1864. The Adjutant General
to Price, Col. Lauchlan MacLean was killed at Richmond by LtCol Robert C. Wood in a dispute over a pass to go into Old
Washington along with Price and the rest of his staff. Gen. Magruder had suspended all passes, and had order Price in to
see him and ordered that all BnCmdrs stay with their commands until further orders. With MacLean lacking the authority
to issue a pass to anyone, MacLean sent Wood to see Price. Price returned Wood to MacLean. MacLean again declined and
was stabbed in the ensuing scuffle. He died two days later. He is buried in theRichmond
Cemetery.

Included you see a picture of MacLean, the VA marker, one
with Charles and his boys, a sketch of the scuffle from the
General Court-martial testimony which convicted Wood of
murder, and the relevant quotations from the diaries of BGen
M. Jeff Thompson, and Price's Surgeon Dr. McPheeters.
Walthall says he also has a short bio-sketch as well as a
complete biography of Col. MacLean. You may contact him if
you wish to see this. The long version includes detailed
information about his life and the connections he had to
important events in and around Kansas. We lost a man of true
potential in the aftermath of Price's raid.

A Redneck Christmas
'Twas the night before Christmas And all through the
trailer, Not a creature was stirrin' 'Cept a redneck named
Taylor.
His first name was Bubba, Joe was his middle,
And a-runnin' down his chin Was a trickle of spittle.
His socks, they were hung by the chimney with care,
And therefore there was a foul stench in the air.
That Bubba got scared And rousted the boys.
There was Rufus, 12; Jim Bob was 11; Dud goin' on 10;
Otis was 7.
John, George and Chucky Were 5,4, and 3:
The twins were both girls So they let them be.
They jumped in their overalls, No need for a shirt,
Threw a hat on each head, Then turned with a jerk.
They ran to the gun rack That hung on the wall.
There were 17 shotguns; They grabbed them all.
Bubba said to the young'uns, "Now hesh up ya'll!
The last thing we wanna do Is wake up yer Maw."
Maw was expecting And needed her sleep,
So out they crept out the door Without making a peep.
They all looked around, and then they all spit.
The young'uns asked Bubba, "Paw, what is it?"
Bubba just stared; He could not say a word.
This was just like all of The stories he'd heard.
It was Santy Claus on the roof, Darn tootin'
But the boys didn't know; They was about to start
shootin'!
They aimed their shotguns and nearly made a mistake,
That would have resulted in venison steak.
Bubba hollered out, "Don't shoot, boys!"
That's Santy Claus And he's brought us some toys.
The dogs were a-barkin' And a-raisin' cain,
And Bubba whistled, and shouted, And called them by
name.
"Down, Spot! Shut up Bullet! Quiet, Pete and Roscoe!
Git, Turnip and Tater and Sam and Bosco!"
"Git down from that porch! Git down off that wall!
Quit shakin the trailer, Or you'll make Santy fall!" The
dogs kept a-barkin' And wouldn't shut up,
And they trampled poor Pete Who was only a pup.
Santy opened his bag, And threw out some toys.
Bubba got most, But left a few for the boys.
Since the guns had been dropped He just might not
die. He jumped in his sleigh, Told his reindeer to hurry.
The trailer started to wobble Santa started to worry.
Just as the reindeer Got into the air, The trailer collapsed,
But Bubba didn't care.
He was busy lookin' At all his new toys.
Then a thought hit him, And he said to the boys:
"Go check on yer Maw, Make sure she's all right.
That roof fallin' on her Could-a hurt just a might."
But Maw was OK, And the girls were too.
They fixed up the trailer; It looked good as new.
And as for Bubba, He liked Old St. Nick,
But Santa thought Bubba Was a pure-in-tee hick!
Bubba had a nice Christmas, And the boys did, too.
And the Taylors wish A Merry Christmas to you!
